SAN ANTONIO -- San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has signed a multiyear contract extension.




The agreement announced today extends Popovich's contract through the 2007-08 season.


A spokesman for the Spurs declined to release additional details.


Popovich also serves as the team's executive vice president of basketball operations.


He says he's fortunate to have a group of players and a coaching staff that he calls: "quite special."


Popovich -- in seven seasons as head coach -- has led the Spurs to a pair of NBA championships.


He posted his 300th win in January against Los Angeles.


The Spurs are on a seven-game winning streak and tomorrow play Toronto.
