    Yeah, I read it as it’s an opinion held by some other teams around the league about her day-to-day coaching ability.

    Also, as another poster said, why won’t the Pelican even interview her considering that a Pelican beat reporter was talking shit about the Blazers. Is Gayle Benson anti-women? She’s the only other female owner in the NBA, unless I’m forgetting someone else, and she won’t even give Hammon an interview.

    Gayle Benson is the only other female owner in the NBA and she won’t even give Hammon an interview, yet a Pelican beat reporter is giving the Blazers shit. What a tone-deaf dweeb. I hope somebody on Twitter replied to him saying that because it’s pretty funny. Does Gayle Benson hate women?

    Pelicans GM is Trajan Langdon, who worked for the Spurs. He’s probably aware of Hammon’s *alleged* bullshit. Pretty telling she didn’t even get an interview there imo.

    i apologize for being rude. We may disagree, but you are one of the few here not deserving of such treatment.
    With that said, will you please expand on your first hand knowledge of Dames interactions with the women in his life?

    The lack of interest in Hammon is not because she is a woman. Not sure what it will take for people to accept that - likely some never will.

    I had on 1080 this morning and within a few minutes turned them off as it was a pile on, accusatory, unethical diatribe about how the Blazers are melting down and Billups doesn't deserve the opportunity just because there were other options. Also, being very critical of Dame for zero reason other than he set in on the interview.

    Agreed. Would make me feel better about the Billups hire.

    Early bets on how Neil Olshey will address Chauncey's accusations tomorrow?

    "Look, we're not at liberty to discuss details, but what I will tell you is this. We take accusations of that nature very seriously and we looked into the veracity of those allegations and found that there was no truth to the way people believe things worked out. And I know that we are not the only organization to have done so. Other organizations within the NBA and outside the NBA have done their own investigations and their conclusions matched ours. I have known Chauncey for over 10 years, he's been an upstanding citizen, has had multiple positions within the league and outside of it, is highly respected among his peers, has a beautiful wife and three kids and would not have the kind of support he does if people truly believed he was capable of the things that some people are saying he is. And one more thing is that I can guarantee you guys that Jody Allen would not have signed off on our decision had she believed that he was actually the type of person that did such a thing."

    This would be such a Neil thing to say.
