    HEY MODS: can we change this thread title to "Coaching Changes Around the League?" In which case the following is relevant:



    Gotta say, he looks like the substitute teacher that gets stuff thrown at him when he's facing the blackboard.

    The only other two I've heard is Fizdale to NYK and the Suns hired Igor kokoscov who was an assistant with the Jazz. Orlando is still looking. Anybody else get fired?

    Heard Bucks are interviewing Becky Hammond. That would be cool to see her be the first female head coach in the NBA. Sounds like Milwaukee is interested in Budenholzer and Monty Williams too though.

    From what I've heard, Hammond is like the 4th or 5th assistant in SA behind Messina, Udoka, and Borrego (the guy the Hornets just hired). I'd be SHOCKED if she made the jump to a head job this early in her coaching career.

    She didn't get the clipboard when Pop's wife passed away...that tells you something.

    It's similar to Dallas saying they would give Brittney Griner (Baylor) a tryout, 99.99% for the positive publicity of being open to the first woman to do whatever in the league. Hammond's name will get mentioned a lot because it'll get people talking and the team will look good for considering her.

    No, not at all. Spoelstra was an assistant with Miami for 11 years (video coordinator, assistant coach, director of scouting) before being promoted in-house to the head job, hand-picked by Riley himself.

    If I was a player I’d be concerned about having a female coach, not because they wouldn’t respect her, or because she wouldn’t know the game, but in the heat of the game if you get pissed off and yell at her, the media’s gonna have a field day with you. Players and coaches get in each other’s faces all the time, and I’d be concerned that hey if I treat her like I would any other coach it’s could really hurt me in the PR department.

    Now I know that sounds like I’m just being a sexist, but I would have no problem seeing a female coach of the Blazers or any other professional team, if they know the sport and they deserve the chance to do the job, I’m all good with it.

    Bullshit. If a player yells at ANY coach the media has a field day with it. You been under a rock?
