She’s been a top assistant for seven years. Why wouldn’t she be qualified for a HC job? And what does it have to do with black men.

Who cares if she sat the bench for 7 years. Pat Ewing was an assistant for over 10 years in the league and Juwan Howard was an assistant with the Heat for 5 or 6 years. These are FORMER NBA players that had to go the college route to get a head coaching job..Why doesn't she have to go the college route to get a head coaching job? Its clearly an agenda when it comes to Hammon. There are several black assistants that have put in work that never gets the chance at a job but just because shes a white women that sat on the bench with POP she is suppose to be guaranteed an NBA Head coaching job? If she was black, they wouldn't be saying shyt.

Did that logic apply to the first black head coach of his respective league? Granted we’re in a different time but still.

Difference is the league is mostly black males not white women. It's not like white women are lacking job opportunities. There's a whole entire league for her...the WNBA.

That's one of the main reasons why I don't want her. Portland is such a progressive type city, no way they'll fire her after one season even if she's terrible.

Plus if any player has issues with the coach that player will be looked at in a horrible light

I have no problems with female coaches hell i think a dawn staley, kim mulkey could easily coach men and be successful at it.

And as well if Becky sucks that as well will prob nip the bud for any future female coach

its a slippery slope

She’s guaranteed to get the job because no team is gonna want the media smoke of being the one who interviewed her and DIDNT hire her.

Personally I would hate to have to be the GM that had to inevitably fire her.
