Spurs assistant coach Becky Hammon

[Shaqdaddy11]

You’re the one who challenged the point.

I'm challenging your moronic and sexist viewpoint that a woman can't coach men's basketball when she's already been an NBA assistant coach for the last four years.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Baseball to softball and mbb to wbb are analogous n terms of differences.

Completely missing out my second point I see...

I'm challenging your moronic and sexist viewpoint that a woman can't coach men's basketball when she's already been an NBA assistant coach for the last four years.

I said that wbb would be better off wih Hammond coaching wbb because the game needs more help to grow.

You’d akd that was sexist. It’s fact.

The NBA subsidizes the WNBA.

No ncaa women’s program makes money. The only real they still go on is the atrocity known as Title ix.

Those are facts that you challenged.

And that would be a huge PR disaster for the NBA. You think kneeling in the NFL was bad? Imagine that times 100 if a player got a female coach fired simply because he didn't like the way she coached.

Not really. And in fact female coaches will know they've reached the same level as men if they DO get fired because a star player wants another coach (not because she's a woman).

Nope. They’d want it both ways. They’re he same but also want special protection and claim sexism whenever hey got fired.

At what point did I challenge the popularity of the WNBA or how much money they make?

I'm challenging your bullshit stance than women don't know how to coach men's basketball simply because they're women - something you continually keep ignoring

Check your comment when I first made the point.

Ehm... where?!?

We have a lovely 'quote' feature on these message boards.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Here's a great New Yorker article about her. Good quotes from her and lots of NBA players and coaches. The Russia thing is well-covered.

How Far Can Becky Hammon Go in the N.B.A.? | The New Yorker

Yes, intellectually I totally get the Russia thing.

She's an athlete.

They all want to represent their country on the grandest stage and she was never going to get that nod.

I just HATE IT.

It's beyond petty. But, there it is.

Ps. I side eyed The Dream when he played for Dream Team II as well.

Great article by the way....

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

girls can be boy scouts now, so of course one can also try to coach a game she has never played.

yes, I know she has played basketball, but not men's basketball. Totally different game.

How so?

This is a legit question, I'm not trying to start Shit.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Or they can go coach women’s B.B. since there’s complaints of not enough women coaches there.

Pick one.

That's the thing....


She shouldn't have to pick one.

 

[The Q]

That's the thing....


She shouldn't have to pick one.

No. There’s either not enough women coaches or women should be coaching a different sport (the NBA).

Pick one

 

[tlance]

She’s the #4 coach for the spurs, meaning there’s 2 more qualified just on her own team.

MIL really should hire Messina since he’s a good fit for Giannis.

Not necessarily.

Many assistants are career assistants with no desire to be a head. You can't assume is less qualified because she isn't a top assistant. She is qualified.

It comes down to whether she would fit and if the players could handle it.

 

[tlance]

Nope it’s staying a fact.

look at WNBA attendance.

And no women’s college team makes money.

Without Title ix schools would’ve given up years ago.

Becky Hammon is a better basketball player than Greg Popovich.

Coaching is all about knowledge of the game, relationships with the players and ability to communicate. A female can do that just as well as a man can, as long as the players are open to it.

Reading that article and seeing how Pop thinks of things makes me more convinced Kawhi is staying.

1) debatable since the casino workers who got to be male practice players would run the local WNBA out of te gym on th regular. More accomplished women’s player than pop is accurate.

2) you’re one of those sjws who thinks jess Mendoza does a great job despite not being able to recognize what pitches are being thrown, aren’t you?

 

[GNG]

interviewing for the Bucks head coaching position.
First female to ever get an interview for a head coaching gig in the League.

She'd break the glass ceiling...

 

[GNG]

She's more qualified than guys like Mark Jackson and Jason Kidd when they were hired.

At least she has been an assistant coach

She is highly respected but I doubt the Bucks would hire her.

Basketball is basketball.

That's like saying Alvin Haley shouldn't have been a pioneer in dance or Bela Karolyi shouldn't have been in charge of female gymnastics.

Mens and women's basketball are actually quite different.
