Also, don't you think it may be a bit different to coach the players this season considering the Olympics were this past summer? There were some people who didn't want Manu to play much until November or December because of his summer.
And yes, Pop does make the decisions for the Spurs. Manu & Tony have both said before that they would've been ready for certain games and Pop said no, rest.
Also, where exactly did Pop "admit" that he forfeited last night's game?

I said essentially forfeit.

Before Thursday’s Heat-Spurs game, Popovich told news reporters, ” We’re making a wiser decision and not a macho decision. It’ll give us an opportunity to stay on floor with Memphis Saturday.”
