Will timmeh be given a chance to coach?

[Millennial_Messiah]

When Pop inevitably gets himself kicked out in the first quarter of the 4th game of the season?

Or will it be someone else?

[cutewizard]

hahahahahaha

[KobesAchilles]

Becky gonna be the first woman coach in an NBA game bro

[phxspurfan]

Becky gonna be the first woman coach in an NBA game bro

true... Pop's gonna do it in like game 5 of the season

[Proxy]

love the idea of the post Pop staff having Timmy, and Manu on the bench with Becky as HC

[dbreiden83080]

I would be stunned if those legends were working under Becky..

I hope She goes somewhere else TBH.. Not in love with setting the trend for the whole Female Coach thing..

Whatever the first nationally-televised game is.

[james evans]

of course. That's what's gonna happen. Popovich is gonna get himself ejected early over a call that really isn't relevant to the game to give timmy a chance to show what he's got.

[monty4329]

When is the first Spurs game on national tv? Expect Pop inviting pinko press of all sorts for ''a special game''.

[Spurtacular]

A part of me might die if Pop gets ejected and it's Becky Hammon coaching instead of Timmy.

Jim can't even coach his own bank account, let alone an nba team :lol

:lol You have no man card, tbh.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Why?

If they're going to let women in the locker rooms be coaching men, then why can't there be female players on the same team?

The mind and the body are two very different things.

That's like saying that Pop should just get out on the court...if he can coach, he should be able to play, right?

Just because Becky couldn't physically compete with a lot of the guys in the NBA doesn't mean she doesn't know the game better than they do. She has competed at the top of her own level physically.

Prime Lisa Leslie, Candice Wiggins, Candice Parker, Skylar Diggins? And those 4 are all straight and not gay... and could have competed at the NBA level. And then you have a lot more that are gay that could definitely compete.

[Dex]

So you're saying that until the game goes completely co-ed, a woman should not be able to coach men? There are plenty of men who coach women's teams...should that be banned too?

Just because you can cite a few examples of women who may have been able to compete in the NBA (hint: they still would've gotten beaten up by the bigger, stronger players) doesn't mean that women can physically compete at the same level as men. That's not sexism, it's basic physiology. That's why basically every professional sport is separated by gender. But once again, that is due to physical limitations, and has nothing to do with their knowledge or experience of the sport.

Also, what does being gay have to do it? You are already starting on a prejudice stance, bringing that into the equation isn't helping your argument.

[dbreiden83080]

Why?

Because Pro Sports is a group of Alpha Males with massive Ego's, that make insane amounts of money. A woman is always going to have a hard time with the locker room, and dealing with the Ego's of Pro Athletes. Yeah it is sexist but can you imagine a Female HC in the NFL screaming at a player coming off the field? I can't. Won't work.. They simply won't want to hear it..

I'd argue that's a problem that needs fixing, and it isn't going to get fixed if people just assume it can't.

"Welp, that's just the way it is" isn't a good reason to restrict change or progress.

Why does it need to be fixed? Why do women need to coach Male Pro Athletes? I doubt there are too many women lining up to be in that spot. Again massive Ego's, the athletes make shit tons of money. You have No Job Security.

Paraphrasing Pop here, but if you are ignoring half of the population just because they don't have a dick, then you are ignoring the opportunity at new ideas and ways of thinking, and that's not a good thing.

30 years ago, nobody in the NBA wanted to scout guys overseas because they were considered soft and underskilled...how did that work out?

I know a lot of people don't like the WNBA but let's be honest...they play fundamentally better basketball, mostly because they have to. They don't have athletes that can just jump out the gym or bowl people over.

I'm not saying that anybody should be hired just because they are a woman, or that every team needs girls on the benches just for the sake of equality. But if they have the ability, experience, and credentials that Becky has, I think she is more than qualified to coach basketball at the highest level, and if guys are threatened by that then they need to learn to get the fuck over it.

Frankly, she has accomplished more in her career than most of our roster.

The problem is that is exactly what will happen. Maybe not in her case, but in many others. Becky might do well. But the league will look to hire other less qualified women over men. PC Agenda.. We already have Silver saying they need Female Coaches and more Females Refs, etc. He is spelling it out for you. They will hire them because they are women. It's a PC agenda designed to include them. Why do you think Hollywood is making dog shit movies like the Ghostbusters Reboot in 2016, and putting women in all these Superhero parts over men? Because they have this corporate PC agenda. They are even talking about a Female James Bond which nobody is asking for. But watch them try it..


Silver

"The goal is going forward, it should be roughly 50-50 of new officials entering in the league," he said. "Same for coaches, by the way. We have a program, too. There's no reason why women shouldn't be coaching men's basketball."

He is telling you right there, that Women will be hired. So as a man you may be vastly more qualified to Ref in the NBA. But he just made it clear, we need Women Refs..

What's the solution then? Ban women from coaching and reffing professional men's sports?

[007nites]

I hope she gets the HC job some where else TBH now that Timmy joined the staff. I can't imagine Tim or even Manu working under her. Would be so weird.

[dbreiden83080]

No but make sure they are actually qualified to be there. That’s not the sense I am getting in this PC culture we are living in right now. It’s basically required to hire them out of fear of being labeled sexist. Again you or I might have tremendous qualifications to be on NBA official. But the commissioner wants female referees. Just saying.

[dbreiden83080]

Pop And how much longer he decides to coach is obviously the big factor. Tim might be testing the waters here to see how much he enjoys coaching. No way of knowing if he wants to make it an actual career. Not yet anyway.

[RD2191]

Becky would probably be a better coach than half of the league tbh. I'd love her as a head coach, hopefully it happens someday.

It's a legitimate concern, but I still think the best qualified candidates will get the jobs they deserve.

As much as the league wants to tout social activism and equality, I don't think it's going to put out a mandate that's like "X% of your staff must be female". Being anti-prejudice can still be prejudice if you make blanket statements like that, and most organizations these days are smart enough to know the difference.

It would actually hurt the movement more if they thrust under-qualified women into these very public roles only for them to fail spectacularly. That's why I think people who are truly qualified (like Becky) are good to at least start the conversation and, over time, sway the perception of both the public and the players.

Hey jackass maybe the reason women are under qualified as coaches is because they were never given opportunities to coach men in the first place. This rectified that problem.

Why do white males get so pissy about taking shit away from them, when that’s what they’ve been doing the past hundreds of years?

I'm saying that being gay makes a female much more masculine and man-like. If Becky is gay then she's already half male, essentially. That isn't prejudice, it's biology. People are born gay or they're not.

But if they were?

I'm a feminist and do believe in equal opportunity for women IF AND ONLY IF they can do the job. But quotas and affirmative action are retarded because they are socialist, not meritorious.

The other thing that's dumb is the archaic, overly Christian/Abrahamic tradition of segregating by gender in say, locker room and showers... I think to some extent it makes sense in high school/under 18 stuff, but not after that... it's like people are so prude as that they've never seen the opposite sex without clothes/all sweaty/not groomed or dolled up before? Retarded prude crap.

[RD2191]

"Becky Hammon has also earned the respect of many NBA players throughout the league. One of basketball's most prolific scorers, Pau Gasol wrote an open letter about female coaches, with emphasis on Becky. "I’ve played with some of the best players of this generation … and I’ve played under two of the sharpest minds in the history of sports, in Phil Jackson and Gregg Popovich. And I’m telling you: Becky Hammon can coach. I’m not saying she can coach pretty well. I’m not saying she can coach enough to get by. I’m not saying she can coach almost at the level of the NBA’s male coaches. I’m saying: Becky Hammon can coach NBA basketball. Period"

I'll take a future HOF players opinion over yours tbh. :tu

Prime Lisa Leslie, Candice Wiggins, Candice Parker, Skylar Diggins? And those 4 are all straight and not gay... and could have competed at the NBA level. And then you have a lot more that are gay that could definitely compete.

None of them could have played g-league ball, let alone seen even one minute of NBA action. Playing is one thing. Coaching is another.

[dbreiden83080]

Yeah, fuck that. Might as well not even give them a chance, right? Gotta avoid frivolous lawsuits.

I’m just telling you right now it is going to happen. We already have frivolous lawsuits that are being exposed, because of women that have taken this movement too far. They expect to be believed without evidence, pretty much 100% of the time. And to be honest with you, I don’t care if it makes me sexist this whole debate is to me ridiculous. There is never going to be a shortage of highly qualified men for these positions. Ever. Duncan and Manu May be assistant coaches on this team within the next two years. The both of them. Two of the most intelligent and greatest spurs of all time. And we are talking about them being under Becky Hammon as the head coach? Uhhh no. You think Becky Hammon knows more about basketball than Tim fucking Duncan?? Tim at the end of his career if he wanted to, could have been just like Bill Russell. A player/coach.

[Truth4sale$]

Popovich is likely sit out, a portion of the pre-season due to exhaustive work with team USA. I can see letting Becky Hammon, Will Hardy coach entire or either a portion of a preseason game. While Tim Duncan coaches a pre season home game, to get the butterflies out of the way and get a feel for the position.
This is assuming 4 preseason games, which will allow Popovich to tune up the final roster in the 4th and final game.
