She honestly shouldn’t even be getting considered ... that’s the problem ... I think she should be considered at some point but not now. And the optics of Geno yelling at an 18 year old freshman young woman is totally different from a black , 6’10” pf aggressively arguing face to face with Becky .
Wish black men didn’t have to be concerned with those optics and I struggle with whether black men SHOULD be concerned with it , but society unfortunately won’t allow for blind ignorance ... especially in this new “I’m Offended” era ...
On the flip , I doubt you’d see many flare ups like that because women usually have more of a calming effect on men and can diffuse shyt better and can build up strong rapport equity as only a woman can do (and it seems as if she’s been able to do that) ... and I’m sure Becky would go to bat for her players if — and when — the media blows up an in-game argument situation.
As with ALL good Head coaches, tho, she’d need a really solid top assistant .
But Basketball is really the ONLY sport in the Big 4 (NFL, NHL, MLB, NBA) where a woman HC could be successful .
And outside of that , maybe professional soccer. I’d like to see it in my lifetime . I just don’t feel like the timing is right for her right now. Good on her if she gets it.
