Are you ready for a female head coach in the NBA brehs?

[AlbertPullhoez]

If Randy Wittman can coach for multiple years, nobody better say shyt about a female coaching

 

[tremonthustler1]

If they're qualified sure. I'd like to see Cheryl Reeve progress to being an assistant for a men's team once she's done with the Lynx

 

[tremonthustler1]

it will probably be becky hammon as the first and thats great, but what about the issue of a lack of black GMs and Owners in a league where it's 75% black?

What about it? That's not the topic at hand.

 

[NoMorePie]

She gonna replace pop when his contract ends at the start of the next decade.

And of course itd be San Antonio to do it.

Stay classy,

I think it's more important we (the NBA) address the lack of diversity where we have the most need at then looking at this.

but like i said this is fine as well, but we can't get distracted on the REAL ISSUE.

I dont think players really care as much about this as fans.

how can you say you want diversity yet not want a women coach? this isnt diversity.


Like I said, this is a fan's issue. I dont think players care that much.

Sure, I think Becky Hammond is going to be a really good coach. She has already turned down some offers in D-I both men and womens.

And this is the problem I have. Becky Hammon has sat on Popovich bench for 2 years, that is the totality of her coaching experience and yet we're having a discussion about when we're going to have a female head coach in the NBA and this is the name that's popping up. It's not even about other qualified men being passed on jobs there are female coaches significantly more accomplished than Becky Hammon. Cheryl Reeve, the head coach of the Minnesota Lynx has been coaching in some capacity since the late 80's, has coached her team to championships and is the winningest coach in WNBA history. If the conversation about bringing more female coaches into the NBA game even at an assistant level doesn't start with women with that caliber of a resume then its a farce.

Yep

Turned my Lady Gators

I for sure thought we had her in the bag

 

[Juggalo Fred]

will she only get 80% of the pay? if so I'm ok with this

They're both important. They just happen to be interested in this one. Nothing wrong with that. If a league is incapable of being able to address these issues concurrently then that's a problem.

Imagine a woman trying to coach Demarcus Cousins.

the lack of african americans in more lucrative positions (in a league being 75% black) is far more important than a lack of female coach (in a league where 0% of the players are females). That's my opinion. Like i said it's great having a women as a head coach, but more things should be a bigger priority.

 

[Damnshow]

so a guy like patrick ewing been trying to get a coaching job for years, but they wanna offer some white privileged woman a coaching job? Yeah ok I see what they trying to do

 

[GhostoftheMan]

i don't have a problem with it
