波特兰开拓者队在一份声明中表示，由于主教练昌西·比卢普斯 (Chauncey Billups) 在FBI针对两起独立赌博案件的调查中于周四受到指控，前圣安东尼奥马刺队中锋蒂亚戈·斯普利特 (Tiago Splitter) 已被任命为球队的临时主教练。
联邦当局指控比卢普斯参与密谋操纵与有组织犯罪相关的高额赌注牌局；而迈阿密热火队后卫特里·罗齐尔 (Terry Rozier) 则因另一起利用球员内部信息在NBA比赛中下注获利的案件而被指控。
斯普利特于今年六月加入了比卢普斯的教练组，在此之前，他曾担任法国顶级篮球联赛的主教练，并曾在休斯顿火箭队担任助理教练。
这位身高6英尺11英寸的中锋在2007年NBA选秀中于首轮被马刺队选中，并为球队效力了五个赛季，期间在马刺2013年和2014年连续两年杀入NBA总决赛的阵容中扮演了关键角色。
在2010至2015年效力于马刺队期间，他场均贡献8.3分和5.3个篮板，并帮助球队在2014年NBA总决赛中，以五场比赛击败迈阿密热火队，夺得总冠军。
2015年7月，马刺队将斯普利特交易至亚特兰大老鹰队，此举旨在为球队腾出薪金空间，以追逐当时开拓者队的自由球员拉马库斯·阿尔德里奇 (LaMarcus Aldridge)。2017年2月，斯普利特被交易至费城76人队，并于2018年宣布从NBA退役，结束了其长达七个赛季的职业生涯。
如今，斯普利特接替比卢普斯执掌教鞭。比卢普斯正准备开启他在波特兰执教的第五个赛季，并寻求带领球队首次闯入季后赛。

Former Spur Tiago Splitter named Blazers interim coach amid FBI probe
Former Paris-Levallois coach Tiago Splitter, left, looks on during a Euroleague basketball game against Bayern Munich in Munich, Germany, Oct. 17, 2024. Splitter was named Portland Trail Blazers interim coach after Chauncey Billups was charged Thursday in connection with a sprawling gambling probe.
Former San Antonio Spurs center Tiago Splitter has been named interim coach for the Portland Trail Blazers after coach Chauncey Billups was charged Thursday amid an FBI probe into two separate gambling operations, the team said in a statement.
Federal authorities accused Billups of participating in a conspiracy to fix high-stakes card games tied to organized crime, and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier was charged in connection with a separate operation exploiting private information about players to win bets on NBA games.
Splitter joined Billups’ staff in June following stints as a head coach in France’s top basketball league and as an assistant with the Houston Rockets.
The 6-foot-11 center was taken in the first round of the 2007 NBA draft by the Spurs and played five seasons with the team, including a key role on the squads that reached back-to-back NBA Finals in 2013 and 2014.
He averaged 8.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per game while with the Spurs from 2010-2015, helping them win the 2014 NBA title in five games over the Miami Heat.
The Spurs traded Splitter to the Atlanta Hawks in July 2015 in a move to create salary cap space for the team’s run at Trail Blazers free agent LaMarcus Aldridge. Splitter was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers in February 2017 and retired from the NBA in 2018 after a career spanning seven seasons.
Splitter now takes the reins in place of Billups, who was entering his fifth season with Portland and looking for his first playoff appearance with the team.
