    I’d love to give my opinion, but don’t want to go back on unemployment.

    Basketball is basketball it doesn't matter it's women or men. Same rules the basket is same height. I think woman might be even better then a man at the job just there more attention to details about things. The one thing you got to look who have the best leadership and hold players accountable for there play on the court. All these coaches knows x and o's and they all know what they want to do defense. Then the respect from the players that there coaching. All theses coaches probably already been run across Dame and probably CJ and more likely they have sign off on them. I think it will down to two MDA and Hammond's. I think if Billups has chance to get Boston job he will take before ours. Staley pretty busy this summer and sound she don't want to leave the college ranks. Berry I just think it's give him what process plus I don't he serious candidate. If it's was up to me I picked Hammond's over MDA.

    Being the next coach after Pop might will be a huge shadow for whomever follows.

    Hammon is more qualified as a coach. Billups has his NBA playing career, but not the coaching resume Hammon has

    who says she will replace pop? That’s pure speculation. Spurs aren’t exactly littered with talent either, they’re just coached up. Blazers are better. Better city too.

    Its Billups or D’Antoni. Hammon, Barry, etc will interview. They’ll hire one of those two. If Chauncey doesn’t nail interview it’s MDA.

    Barry just keeps popping up for me the past couple of days for whatever reason. He just seems like such a random inclusion that you almost have to take him serious. Comp to Kerr was interesting.

    The fact that Barry just came out if the woodwork as one of a few candidate’s, is interesting.
    Maybe GM & Becky coach?

    so are you saying “Billups or MDA” is more than just your guess?

    Here is what I just got:

    - huge ego
    - doesn’t work - considered lazy by almost everyone
    - players tune her out when it’s her scout
    - people internally laugh that she’s a HC candidate

    I 100% trust this person and he’s very very well connected to Spurs.
