PJ Carlesimo was a dick and a tyrant. And a college coach. Players hated him. Sprewell tried to choke him. I hated him. I still do. Fuck Carlesimo.
She won't take either job in my view..she's the next head coach of the Spurs....Pop has favored her and groomed her over all his other long time assistants to take over so he can retire....she'll be the Spurs coach for as long as she wants to be..
Makes sense to me. She is the Jackie Robinson of women coaches in the NBA. Placing the right woman in the right situation is essential for others to follow. The players need to respect her for it to work. This is why I think San Antonio is perfect for her since the players will already know her. (and I assume respect her) Going to a brand new situation will be a lot harder IMO. She will still have pressure but I think it would be less if she is in SA and Pop is still involved in the organization.
So we don’t count when they have a great player? Lebron has lost finals. And I thought the Blazers already had a great player who Stotts was wasting the prime of
this is encouraging news. It's the first time we've heard of Becky being a candidate for an opening this year, meaning she isn't just waiting in SA for Pop to retire. And considering how quiet Olshey is about potential candidates, you would have to think Hammon is part of the 20-25 initial candidate list.
...I think it would be very short sided for the organization to hire another "old white guy" regardless of who it is
