i want becky to be spurs head coach and for her to be VERY outspoken and VERY woke, so that I can enjoy watching resident SpursTards’ heads explode

[GAustex]

It would be historic but would not even close to most qualified

I think some superstars would love to play for Becky if she is the coach and that could benefit the spurs.

Maybe but I think there is a good chance it could be a disaster

It could be but nothing is guaranteed until you try.

Preference to me is to hire most qualified and if she is that then of course. But I suspect she is not most qualified that is.

When Pop was hired, he wasn’t the most qualified person now he is considered one of the best coach ever. Nothing is guaranteed until you try.

Fools and Pop crotch sniffers think he is the best. He is a good coat tail rider of Tim Duncan. He also installed himself in a coup of Hill. Hire the most qualified and most certainly it is not Becky-IMO.

[TheGreatYacht]

Not interested in any yes men in that staff. I’ll take Timmy or Tony instead.

[duncan2k5]

Why don't u consider her qualified? She has been an assistant for some time... There's a shit ton more ppl that get hired as coach with less experience... Steve Kerr had less experience... So did Nick Nurse... No one thinks they're horrible, unqualified coaches

[GAustex]

I do not think type A NBA ballers respect the coach is a gal.

Short answer: she's a woman

Long answer: she's a wooooooomaaaaaaaaan

:lol

Zion's assistant coach is a female and he says he wouldn't be as good as he is if it wasn't for her

[GAustex]

You asked I answered.
Zion maybe telling the truth.

[Sugus]

Bullshit.

First off, there's no tangible difference between "type A" and "type B" players in regards to getting coached; at the NBA level, even end-of-bench players are in the top 0.001% of basketball players in the world. Yet they all allow themselves to be coached by their team's coaches, both HC and assistants, by all means "lower" than them in ability, talent and relative worth. Any player who wouldn't allow themselves to be coached by someone because they're a woman, would very likely also have problems with most if not every head coach; some players are simply headcases, nothing to do with gender. Secondly, Becky is already coaching the Spurs, both at practices, off the court, and in the rare instances where Pop is ejected, yet no Spurs player has ever mistreated her or talked badly about her, quite the opposite. It's pretty safe to assume that any player who wouldn't respect Becky would be shunned in the locker room by the rest of the team.

Thirdly, Becky actually has a great basketball acumen and is a former, successful player herself, further giving her credit and authority on the matter (not like it's a requirement for HCs to be former players, but it certainly helps). Fourth.... You could just as easily have said "I don't think players will respect female refs!" once upon a time, yet with numerous female refs in the game right now, there's no instances of disrespect towards them that I've been aware of. It's simply old-school, retrograde thinking on all accounts, tbqh.

[tbdog]

I need to see Becky run a team for a few games here and there before I can be happy if she becomes head coach.

You ain’t gonna see anyone talk bad about Becky or any gal ref. But it very well could be there that under current of disrespect. You might be living in a fantasy world if you think it could not happen or even if it is not likely.
A bunch of words do not prove you are smart.

Who said I'm smart? I'm just proving your preconceptions wrong, tbh, word count be damned. And so, your argument shifts to that it could happen, so we shouldn't try it, because Becky might get "disrespected" or talked about badly? I think she's far from vulnerable enough to let some bad talk get to her, tbqh. No other counter-arguments to make beyond "she's a woman", then?

[offset formation]

Do. Not. Want.

[bluebellmaniac]

Wow. An NBA assistant coach wants to be a NBA head coach. Who would have thought? An assistant rarely wants to be head coach. Wow.

Why is this even a thread?

[exstatic]

PGs usually make the best HCs. They know the game, inside and out.

[RC_Drunkford]

Flopovich wasn't hired, he hired himself

[Dennis the Menace]

Pop is a fraud without Tim Duncan.

We want the Becky

I should not have done word count smack. You do produce a lot of text at times-though. But that is your prerogative.

Given that I think it likely that issues occur with the players not wanting or respecting a woman coach.
We do not know that to be the case but it is my suspicion. I will call it my observed human nature.

As far as her knowledge or abilities I also suspect there are a number of male coaches that would be more effective. Quinn would be my choice but that is unlikely.

So in a perfect world it should not matter male or female but alas it is not a perfect world no matter how much you or I wished it so.

[tim_duncan_fan]

She literally can't do any worse than Pop is doing right now.

[td4mvp2k]

[BackHome]

Hire the best person male or female I don’t care - But hire someone players want to play for someone who can help you recruit other players. There are a lot of players always say they would love to play for Pop but we all know they lying as they never come and that’s the truth.

[Texas_Ranger]

i have no doubt she'd be better than Pop.

[KobesAchilles]

Gimme dat Becky. I legit want her to be the next coach

[Mark in Austin]

If Pop trusts her, I trust her.

[$pursDynasty]

Nah I want Ime Udoka as our next HC with Nia Long in the stands.

[rjv]

Wow. An NBA assistant coach wants to be a NBA head coach. Who would have thought? An assistant rarely wants to be head coach. Wow.

Why is this even a thread?

bingo. why the hell wouldn't she want to be a head coach?

[GreekSpursfan]

Pop is doing just fine with the talent lvl this roster has. I'm probably in the minority but i don't believe in our young guys, i don't see much of an upside. Pop the POBO is another story, he failed.
I would take Becky to see what i got in the tanking years ahead. If she's not good she will help with the tank, if she's more than good then its all about the FO moving forward, its a win win situation tbh.

[ducks]

She run summer league games and won it all

[ducks]

If Pop trusts her, I trust her.

I trust her over pop
He is old and stupid

[steak n eggs]

:pop: : She hasn't gotten over herself.

Or maybe Pop hasn't gotten over himself.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

some folks also forget these nba players are mostly gen z/young millennials ... and/or understand the financial ramifications of being considered misogynist/not pc

i suspect 99% of the small minority of dudes who would have a problem being coached by becky would have the common sense to shut the fuck up

she's CLEARLY qualified. if becky were a man she'd have a head coaching job already, if that's what she wanted

[BillMc]

Wow. An NBA assistant coach wants to be a NBA head coach. Who would have thought? An assistant rarely wants to be head coach. Wow.

Why is this even a thread?

Yep. Most do. There are some specialists who seem to not want to deal with the politics and just work on their craft (Chip maybe?) but most want to move up the ladder.

[dbestpro]

Becky might be worth about 5 more wins but this roster still needs an enema.

[look_at_g_shred]

IMHO, Having Becky as the HC might be attractive to FA's. Guys would play hard and want to win for her.
