Dope

The story is that two female coaches are helping Blake ahearn.... The other is


. GCurry is an assistant coach with the University of Maine, the only female assistant coach in Division I.

Black Bears coach Richard Barron hired Curry, a former WNBA guard, last season.

Good stuff. I'm all for the Spurs giving people the opportunity to break down barriers. :tu

[bigfan]

sure, why not? Sounds like she knows her business.

[Dverde]

Becky made sense, this is just a make-a-wish stunt.

[diego]

huh im a bit confused, i live in chile and was under the impression the youth womens team was coached by a costa rican dude (theyve been in the news because they placed 3rd in an americas cup behind us and canada recently), havent heard of this lady; i guess it must be a different age category

[Spurtacular]

Pop's a hero, amirite?

Sorry to be cynical; I'm actually happy for this girl.

It's just Summer League. Why not give her a chance?

no need to guess... they all are in womens basketball. can we even call what they "play" basketball when the ball goes in the hoop once every 20th possession?

If she helps win us more games, and promote women in NBA, hey good job!

she won't help us win anything tbh and why do women need to be in the nba anyhow? they got their own league which is a joke in its own right and the big boys have theirs which actually generates money.

all i know is if i was a bball player in the nba i wouldn't listen to anything a woman had to tell me about bball. has nothing to do with men vs women and everything to do with, "you're a chick and i'd beat the shit out of you on the court any day of the week so why would i listen to you who can't even jump an inch off the ground, run the floor, jump out of the arena, etc? fuck what you have to say!"

I suppose Coach Pop, Kerr, Bud, Van Gundy brothers, all can outjump anybody, coz they sure know how to coach. While MJ, Magic, Isiah, Kareem, all suck at either owner/coaching. Best coaches don’t need to be athletic bruh

So I'm guessing maybe Tony Parker enters wheelchair League to try to hook up.

they at least played and not in a women's league. all this bs equality nonsense is just that.

[HarlemHeat37]

It's time for a woman to be a Head Coach in the NBA, tbh..the fact that it hasn't happened yet is embarrassing and inexcusable..

Really hope the Spurs are the first team to do it, it would be almost as satisfying as winning a title..

[SpursforSix]

Great...now that Leonard's already gone.

I'm sure she's better at basketball and coaching than you.

Pro basketball players (most of them black) are more mature and rational than you and have accepted several female coaches without your kind of meltdown. The mostly black players who are better than you will have no problem with this latina coach who is also better than you.

you're a sjw faggot, cool story bro. :tu

i, on the other hand, don't buy your bs scenario so move along. you stated it, i acknowledged i don't believe it and don't give a fuck about it, and here you are still chatting it up as if i give a fuck about your pansy ass stance.

Sorry you never went pro, dude. Women are better than you.

[ZeusWillJudge]

We've all seen that there is a big difference between NBA play and the G-League. There are loads of players who look okay in G-League, but just can't cut it at the next level. If a one of those guys who couldn't cut it in the NBA got made an instant head coach, he would face a lot of skepticism. There's no reason why a woman who never played in the WNBA should be exempt from the same skepticism.

All we know about this woman is what is in the MySA article. If she's got deeper credentials, I'm sure we'll hear about it. But if that's the extent of her experience, she got put ahead in line to make a statement. It's their team, so they can do that if they want. But being a pussy about people questioning it is pretty stupid. They get to do that, too.

[koriwhat]

The first woman I can remember coaching on the American pro level basically had to be the best woman ever to play, who played in men's leagues and on an NBA summer league. In short, we're past that.

Being one of ~20 on a team's summer league coaching staff just isn't a big deal.

[koriwhat]

:lol you're caring all over yourself.

nah i'm responding to your bitchass. the day i care about you is the day you're dropped 6ft under so i can piss all over your grave.

[K...]

For real though, the other woman is more important, former wnba and current NCAA assistant. I could see NBA teams going 60/40 make/female pretty fast if the league and NCAA both want it. There's no new basketball strategy to learn, and the thing spurstalk tags pop with the most , not giving a shit, is what women are good at?

How do you know what I'm doing? Explain the source of your knowledge of what I'm scouring or judging. Otherwise you're just writing fan fiction.

How do you know it's not a big deal to people who are trying to break into coaching? Are you a coach on a summer league team? If she got jumped ahead in line, it's probably a big deal to anyone who didn't. You just lack empathy. Do you know what they call people who lack empathy?

The spurs have not won a championship since Becky Hammon has joined as an assistant coach. Pure coincidence.

My claim is you are not checking the background of every member of every coaching staff in summer league. My basis for that is you haven't said anything about any other coaching staff members.

So you're claiming that you searched through all my posts to see what I have said about other summer league coaches? I was pretty sure I made a comment about Ahearn's background just a few days ago, but if you're saying you researched me, I guess I must be wrong.

I only comment in the Spurs forum, so if there are other summer league coaches who got moved up in line for social reasons, it probably wouldn't be up here. Can you give me a link to those threads, so I can go comment in them?

Why can't you just admit that you made something up about a person you don't know?

That's all.

Trumptard snowflakes are very angry about this.

[monty4329]

I am sure she's there by merit. Like Mr. Hammond.

Nobody with better credentials available.

Meantime, a totally unrelated news... the two assistant coaches of (supposedly) higher ranking than Mr.Hammond, they both left.

Next Pop will sign a female Euro free agent.

No offense to women anywhere because I don't think you have to be a man to coach, but her credentials are pretty weak. Why not hire one of the staff on a G-League team and give them an opportunity?

Living in Chile, being into basketball and having never heard of her I thought the same but apparently nobody has bothered to look at her credentials- she was a pro in Spain for a long time (her and Becky may have played against each other, both were in the league at the same time), and apparently she killed it at a NBA development camp, she didn't get hired for what she did with a wheelchair team (or anything in Chile for that matter, it just happened to be what she was employed at the time- and from the sounds of it she was the women's under 17 coach and the wheelchair team was a sidejob/favor).

What do you normally charge for rent space in your head?

Looks like MySA must hire Pavlov to do their research for them, when he's not busy being the coach of a SL team. :lol


The articles all mention that the other female assistant the Spurs brought in played professional ball. Two years, where she averaged 1.7 PPG and 1.8 PPG. So she's definitely qualified.

But they don't even mention Lorena Infantes Nunez' pro experience. MySa probably just doesn't like Spaniards. (It's not a conspiracy theory, because Pavlov's intuition says it's a real conspiracy.)

Oh shit, you knew all that and were still bitching about her?

:lol that's even funnier

She definitely has enough credentials to be a guest SL coach. I'm basing that on some of the hires that the Spurs themselves have made in the recent past like nephew's college buddy. There's really not much more to say but if you want to keep responding to me, have at it. Getting bent out of shape about a guest SL coach is a good look for you.

This post was a foul by zues. Chump used "you are not scouring or judging" to refer to teams /coach. Zues is not a coach, and thus failed reading comprehension and context.
