    That hasn't exactly worked well for (downtown) Portland over the last year. #trashed

    In this forum you would be free to criticize her coaching like we've allowed other coaches to be criticized. But if you use sexist BS in your criticisms of her and/or her coaching that won't be allowed.

    ...maybe Olshey's left field unnamed candidate is going to be Coach K (that's secretly why he just retired) :biglaugh:

    so, to summarize: the Spurs, who are considered to be a model franchise, have now, for 7 or 8 years, employed a lazy assistant coach that the players all tune out, and who is considered a laughing-stock around the organization

    is she working for free or something?

    am I the only one who finds that a little hard to believe? Not saying it's false, just that it really strains credibility because of what we know about the Spurs and Popovich

    It was my first question. “Trapped”, “stuck” with her, and hard to fire were what I was told. I was told much more but there is no way anyone here would believe it considering how doubtful people are just of this. The other things I heard and again, fully believe 100%, are far more egregious.

    so you're doubling down on the already harsh hit....ok

    how is it that the Spurs are trapped and stuck with her? I hope it isn't going be some stuff about not being able to fire a woman

    The truth comes our. @calvin natt has been a deep cover Spurs mole put into place years ago so that he would be in a position to start a misinformation campaign against Becky Hammon in the off chance that she were to interview for a job here.

    spurs brushed the Parker sleeping with Barry's wife shit under the rug fairly easily. just as they did the drama with Eva Longoria, or Bruce Bowen's dirty defense, etc.

    and really no one outside of central texas cares about that franchise as is.

    if they wanted to get rid of becky, they could do a drive by firing and hardly anyone would notice.

    Oof. Big mistake. I'll take calvin natt's sources over anything else I hear or read except official announcements.

    Sorry. calvin natt has shared too many things that nobody "unconnected" would know. and they always turn out to be legit. I literally can't remember even one BS story from the guy in what must be 15-20 years.

    Doesn't matter to me if you trust him, but there is no doubt in my mind about the validity of these claims.

    And very wisely so. But he's proven to be legit for years and I will say so to anybody who questions that.
