Not at all. There’s a maturity level and professionalism at the NBA level that’s not present with teen boys, they disrespect grown women all the time. And while they know they’re not as athletic, nba players respect WNBA players

Teen boys can disrespect anyone. :manny:
We just had video of one disrespecting Cam Newton to his face at a football camp, right?

There are plenty of women coaches at the high school level (not a high %, but several in every state). And Tamara Moore just became the coach of a JC in Minnesota.

Yup.
If this was a maturity issue, you'd have seen a woman coaching in the NBA first, then it would have trickled on down the pyramid in acceptance. :patrice:

I think it's easier for kids to have a female coach. They are still young and relatively powerless. At that stage age is everything and they can view an adult women as having more authority. Adult, straight successful men are not trying to follow a woman. Not in any field really but especially athletics.

More a numbers issues - there are tens of thousands of high schools in America and they don't have the entire country to recruit coaches from, so by sheer chance a woman is more likely to end up heading them.

Even back in the 1990s when I was in high school there were women coaching some of the JV teams in our league just cause no one else wanted to. It's not like it's ever an issue. Guys posturing like Neanderthals talk like there ain't female drill sergeants and corrections officers all over the country but basketball X's and O's are just too manly for a woman to understand.

Want to see if :sas1: has the same energy as he did with Nash and others if she were to get the Blazers job

Bro don't do that. Becky has definitely paid her dues by being an assistant coach. But I didn't have too much issue with the Nash hiring. Heck Jason Kidd and Larry bird were never assistants either so they are exceptions to the rule. She's coached the Spurs doing summer league and has the backing off Spurs players im sure. I've never heard a negative thing about her so it's only a matter of time before she gets a HC gig
