Reading the article she doesn’t make it seem like she’s interested in the nba but maybe she changed her mind.
I think Dawn Staley is a really intriguing candidate...she may have the highest BBIQ of the field...I like all the candidates except for 70 year old D"Antoni
My concern with Staley is making jump from college to pros and from women to men all at once and under intense scrutiny.
Yeah I really don’t think she’s a serious candidate. Hammon makes much more sense. She has been in the league for a while now. She has experience coaching men. She is coming from a team culture of winning and good defense. She’s ready to take the next step.
Not really a strong analysis, didn't really make a good case for D'Antoni, one of their arguments is that even though his teams are bad defensively, they would be better than Stotts....
Can we have the price list for our responses before we respond? I'd like to know exactly what I'm earning.
Why would Becky take the Portland job when she will replace POP? Change of scenery? Money? or get away from the POP bench mark?
yeah.....not saying Chauncy doesn't have a great BBIQ as well but MDA is a defensively challenged coach if there ever was one. I think a woman who's achieved what she's achieved is much more difficult than the path Chauncy, Mike or Brent took to get in the biz...she's highly respected in the coaching ranks...has coached the women's Olympic team as well and is in the HOF ....also she's not only female but is black which many people are calling for hiring more black coaches seeing as the coaching ranks have been less than diverse historically. I think she's an interesting candidate and hope she gets a shot over MDA or Jeff Van Gundy ...if not here, then in Orlando..
The majority of women’s college basketball is coached by women.. D’Antoni is one of the most innovate offensive minds in the sport. What has Staley innovated? Genuine question.
what is intriguing, in a political sort of way: Portland will likely be interviewing 2 women candidates for the job. And they will be interviewing a candidate with that settlement case for alleged abuse of a woman. does that actually make it harder for Portland to hire Billups, especially considering that both women candidates appear to be highly qualified....as qualified as Billups?
the trailblazers would be hiring the first woman head coach in the NBA.....there are female coaches in the college ranks and WNBA....how many are black women? How many have head coached Team USA for the Olympics?
