Dammit I hope they don't hire her. Whichever team hires her will be afraid to fire her if she doesn't do too well since she'll be the first woman.
Did that logic apply to the first black head coach of his respective league? Granted we’re in a different time but still.

I would consider it, but I would want to know what her philosophy is. If she is adamant in keeping with Popovich’s midrange obsession, then she isn’t a forward thinking coach that will adapt to the times (or create a new successful paradigm that others in the league will be forced to chase).

She shouldn’t get a job over someone else just because she’s a white woman. But she shouldn’t be dismissed just because some other guy was passed over, either. Particularly if she interviews better.
