肖恩·斯威尼 (Sean Sweeney) 是一位备受达拉斯独行侠队器重的助理教练，他已同意加盟圣安东尼奥马刺队，担任新任主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 的首席助理教练。
斯威尼于2021年加入杰森·基德 (Jason Kidd) 在达拉斯的教练组，此前他曾在基德手下于密尔沃基和布鲁克林任职。在两次与基德合作的间隙，斯威尼于2018年至2021年在底特律活塞队辅佐德维恩·凯西 (Dwane Casey) 三个赛季。
斯威尼毕业于明尼苏达州圣保罗的圣托马斯大学 (University of St. Thomas)。他进入NBA的起点是担任新泽西篮网队的录像分析师，当时的主教练是P.J. 卡莱西莫 (P.J. Carlesimo) 和埃弗里·约翰逊 (Avery Johnson)，而这两位都与马刺队有着渊源。
斯威尼的加盟预示着马刺队上赛季教练组运作模式的改变，当时约翰逊是在去年11月格雷格·波波维奇 (Gregg Popovich) 中风后被任命为代理主教练的。
当时，马刺队并没有指定首席助理教练，资深助教布雷特·布朗 (Brett Brown)、马特·尼尔森 (Matt Neilsen) 和新成员迈克·诺伊斯 (Mike Noyes) 以一种协作的方式共同负责。
斯威尼的到来意味着他将获得比在达拉斯时期更高的薪水，以及晋升为首席助理教练的重要角色。近年来，他曾多次申请主教练职位，并且是今年夏天菲尼克斯太阳队主教练一职的最终候选人之一，而该职位最终由首次担任主教练的乔丹·奥特 (Jordan Ott) 获得。
在圣安东尼奥，斯威尼将成为马刺队调整后教练组的一员，该教练组还包括前NBA球员科利斯·威廉姆森 (Corliss Williamson)，他已于上周同意加入约翰逊的教练团队担任助理教练。
目前尚不确定上赛季教练组有多少成员将在2025-26赛季回归。

Spurs hire assistant Sean Sweeney away from Dallas
Sean Sweeney, a highly regarded assistant with the Dallas Mavericks, has agreed to a deal to become new Spurs coach Mitch Johnson’s associate coach in San Antonio.
Sweeney joined Jason Kidd’s staff in Dallas in 2021, after previously working under Kidd in Milwaukee and Brooklyn. In between stints with Kidd, Sweeney spent three seasons in Detroit under Dwane Casey from 2018 to 2021.
A graduate of the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minn., Sweeney got his start in the NBA as a video coordinator with the New Jersey Nets under P.J. Carlesimo and Avery Johnson, both of whom have Spurs ties.
The hiring of Sweeney signals a change in how the Spurs’ staff operated last season, when Johnson was named acting coach following Gregg Popovich’s stroke in November.
The Spurs did not have a designated lead assistant at the time, with veteran aides Brett Brown, Matt Neilsen and newcomer Mike Noyes working as something of a collaborative.
Sweeney’s arrival comes with a pay bump from his days in Dallas, as well as an elevated role as lead assistant. He has applied for several head coaching gigs in recent years, and was a finalist for the Phoenix job that went to first-timer Jordan Ott this summer.
In San Antonio, Sweeney stands to be a part of a revamped staff that also includes former NBA player Corliss Williamson, who last week agreed to join Johnson’s bench as an assistant.
It is not immediately certain how many members of last season’s staff will return heading into the 2025-26 campaign.
