"It's something I hadn't thought about a lot before these last 12 months," Chance told ESPN, on the opportunity to be a head coach in the G-League. "I started to get a bit of interest and have some conversations. I think the challenge of the G-League and what that brings; it's a high-quality league; it's obviously come a long way... in how it's resourced and treated, and the Spurs treat their G-League team with a lot of respect and a lot of resources. "The challenge of the uncertainty it brings, and the logistics you have to face throughout the course of the season, and working with elite players who are ultimately trying to get into the NBA. That player development space really excites me. To go and work with the Spurs, who have proven that pathway's real for them, and they take it really seriously, was obviously a massive part of that too."
Chance first spoke with the Austin Spurs' general manager Josh Larson during this year's NBA Summer League. He went through the interview process, before ultimately being offered the head coach position.
