SAN ANTONIO -- Erik Spoelstra and Gregg Popovich briefly shifted their focus Friday from making adjustments in the NBA Finals to taking aim at the rampant turnover in the league's coaching ranks in recent weeks.

At least 12 of the league's 30 teams have either hired or are in the process of searching for new coaches since the end of the regular season two months ago. That list of teams doesn't include the Boston Celtics and the uncertainty of coach Doc Rivers' immediate future with the team.

"I think it's a terrible state for the profession right now," Spoelstra said during a conference call Friday amid a two-day break before Game 5 on Sunday against the San Antonio Spurs. "[For] true success in the NBA, you must have consistency of culture. When you see that type of turnover over and over and over again, it's impossible to create any kind of sustainable culture. And we don't see it as a coincidence. We see it differently."
