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

[USSInsiders]

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.

You're not wrong, but there are different kinds of diversity. Intellectual, ethnic, sex/gender. Every tribe has its zealots

Hammon's a lesbian

She was until she met Tony Parker. He could seduce a corpse into fukking him

good ass question... Members of the Heat delegation care to respond?

*Looks at the two banners, and current season record after that horrendous start under Spo*

...We the Heat Delegation, AKA #HeatWorldOrder, AKA Heatles decline to comment.

Could see the Lakers doing this

 

[MikelArteta]

Gender shouldn't matter, y'all hypersexual negros need to chill.

 

[Rick Roller 10]

No fukken c*nt is gonna be taken seriously be these guys, cmon let's be serious

 

[SadimirPutin]

If its going to happen and work

1)The owner and the GM has to support that coach 100%.. when things get rough they cant throw her under the bus

2)She cant be throwing her own players under the bus...She would have to be an advocate for her guys hardbody...yelling at refs..handing out ether to reporters etc

3)She has to have the support of the franchise player(s)..........imagine you a rookie female coach trying to marshall a Bron and Kyrie combo.....Making superstars come around to your way of thinking is a masterclass on the art of persuasion as a man.....as a woman that shyt would be hall of fame

 

[SadimirPutin]

with that said of the four major sports.....female coaching could only happen in the NBA

correct me if I am wrong tho....I might have missed something and be talking complete nonsense here

Some of the asinine shyt y'all say, man. Amazing.

First page of this thread is an embarrassment

I'm interested to see how Silver goes about enforcing this. I would think with the growth and development of the D League that you could start to develop female coaching talent there and maybe you look at the top coaches in Women's D1, but I'm still skeptical about how soon this would be implemented. I think we're at least 10 years from a viable candidate

 

[hayesc0]

Didn't watch the video but it will happen we had stephanie ready in the d league and now becky hammon.

 

[Danie84]

As long as she doesn't suck on the job; no pun intended

 

[DIMES]

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,

That's the end of sas if that ever happens

Again, important topic but a different and unrelated one. Doesn't make it less important but it's not the focus of what they're addressing. "fukk your cause. What about mine" won't get you far. You don't have to devalue their shyt to prop up your own concern. One issue doesn't need to be tackled before addressing the next one.

I mean... youre completely wrong tho... they are absolutely competing interests


The number of teams is finite. Far more qualified black men would be competing with women like Becky Hammond for the job.

Before adding female coaches, how about adding black male coaches, you know the demographic that makes up over 70% of the league?

It's not a competing interest. If I hired Dawn Staley tomorrow that covers every base. It doesn't have to be one or the other in theory.


Since you brought it up, there's 7 black head coaches in the NBA. There have been more in the past. There have been less. The coach simply being black isn't the deal breaker in terms of whether they're hired or not. There's an avenue for black coaches to get to where they wanna be. The same can't be said for women because even being in Becky Hammon's situation is something only 2 people can understand (her and Lieberman). The pathway to building up a resume that teams will look at is much tougher. That's why they'll always be viewed as not qualified enough. How can that be changed? It's worth looking into. You're interested in ADDING more black head coaches. Those women would be overjoyed if even ONE female broke through. Therein lies the difference.

Good points
