[Dejounte]

Since they’re interviewing two female coaches, I think Becky has a good shot here. They’re not doing it just for show.

It will be between Billups and Becky, IMO.

[slick'81]

Good for becky. No point in waiting for pop to kick the can to get a shot here

[Mr. Body]

No way would I take the Orlando job, not in any capacity. Portland would be a good move. It's a good franchise and a coherent bunch of players.

[GAustex]

Go Becky Go!

[Sugus]

:depressed

[jermaine]

If she's not the next Spurs next head coach, fuck this team. Honestly

[EasyMoney]

Watch she take another coaching gig, then pop returns for 1 more year before retiring.

[SpursDynasty85]

Good for Becky. Spurs must have someone else in mind for there head coaching job then?

[daslicer]

If she gets hired I wish her the best. It will be interesting to see how she does with either team. I don't think either situation is ideal. With Portland you just don't know if Dame will force his way out if he feels the teams is not good enough. With the Magic they are in clear rebuild mode so she is not going to succeed immediately over there

[NASpurs]

Hasn’t she applied to other coaching jobs the past three, four years? Doesn’t mean she’s staying or leaving tbh.

[Mr. Body]

Hasn’t she applied to other coaching jobs the past three, four years? Doesn’t mean she’s staying or leaving tbh.

This feels like Manu flying out to Denver to talk to them.

[KobesAchilles]

Brent Barry wants to coach?

[SAGirl]

I wish her well. I hope she gets one of these. She is my favorite of the current crop of assistants and I think she’s well liked plus can reach these youngins of today.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

Agreed Portland is the better job

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

*maybe better than spursies job

hushhhh

[Dex]

Definitely should take Portland if she can get it. A lot of expectations, but also has a competent team.

The worst thing she could do is go to Orlando and they continue being the shitty Magic, and she will be blamed for the faults of their terrible organization (see: Jacque Vaughn). That would be career suicide.

She should either wait it out for the Spurs job or go to Portland tbh.

[Uriel]

She's interviewed for multiple positions with other teams in previous summers and hasn't gotten a head coaching position yet.

My dream scenario is that Bud is brought back to become head coach and Becky gets promoted to associate head coach.

[EricB]

If she's not the next Spurs next head coach, fuck this team. Honestly


lol why does she HAVE to take over? You people are touched

[EricB]

She's interviewed for multiple positions with other teams in previous summers and hasn't gotten a head coaching position yet.

bud wouldn’t do that nor Becky

[GAustex]

Becky coaching Dame Dollar
Do it!

[talkspurs]

Watch she take another coaching gig, then pop returns for 1 more year before retiring.

She gets another job and then Pop announces his retirement. no year in between.

[The Truth #6]

Pop retires.
Becky goes to Portland.
Bud doesn’t accept the SA job.
That would be unfortunate, but possible.

[Dejounte]

Pop retires.
Becky goes to Portland.
Bud doesn’t accept the SA job.
That would be unfortunate, but possible.

All the wild criticisms aside, Pop is the type to leave the franchise in good hands, IMO. Everything we’ve seen from his character has been all about passing it forward and selflessness.

[cd98]

Highly doubt Becky gets that gig unless Blazers blow up their team. I think they hire DAntoni and see if he can work magic with the team even though we know he can’t. But GM for Blazers has to hire a name.

[cd98]

Pop retires.
Becky goes to Portland.
Bud doesn’t accept the SA job.
That would be unfortunate, but possible.

The only guy that could coach this team into respectability is Manu. And it would ulsnt be about X and Os. It would be about passion and confidence a la Bird coaching the Pacers.

[Dverde]

Becky is gone like I said half way thru the season. I think she would only stay to be head coach AND she didn’t get the same offer from another team.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

The Orlando job is a great job for a 1st year head coach in my opinion.

you don’t have a ton of expectations and a good amount of young talent you will have less problems with implementing your system around.

I hope she takes over in San Antonio but the way Bud is going in Milwaukee he might be back with us next season.

[widowmaker]

No way would I take the Orlando job, not in any capacity. Portland would be a good move. It's a good franchise and a coherent bunch of players.


You couldn’t even hold down a job at mcdonalds and you want to imagine taking on an nba coaching job lmao!!!!!!

[JuneJive]

I would guess that the Spurs have someone in mind as their next coach, meaning, Pop knows who will suceed him.

Is it Bud if Becky is auditioning for other jobs? ( And if the Bucks don't make it through the Nets )

[OldMan88]

There will be huge political pressure in Portland to hire whatever coach checks the most boxes for oppression.

[JeffDuncan]

The Blazers are owned by Jody Allen, sister of the late Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft. Jody Allen studied drama in college, she has produced at least 5 movies, and been the executive producer of more than a dozen movies. Clearly, she has more than a passing interest in the media.

A woman... keenly interested in the media... sees a chance to hire the first woman head coach in the NBA. Hm.

Sounds like the stuff of which movies are made. And Jody Allen produces movies.

But you never know.

[koriwhat]

Good! No more bullshit weak knee'd Spurs with their bs PC doctrine. Bring in a totally new coach and FO too!

[MultiTroll]

Mospur relatess the office talk was all about Pop splitting after the Olympic commercialism but before next season.

So purpose in CIA Pop having her on the bench for 8 years was?

[dbreiden83080]

Pop retires.
Becky goes to Portland.
Bud doesn’t accept the SA job.
That would be unfortunate, but possible.

Would the Bucks really fire Bud? What more can he or anyone do there? Can't think of anyone more qualified to coach that team?

[Dennis the Menace]

Pop really is going to leave this franchise with a bare cupboard and in ashes before someone forces him to retire.

Pop should’ve retired with Timmy years ago. He is robbing the organization at this point.

The longer he stays the harder & longer the rebuild

[Dennis the Menace]

Why aren’t people protesting him to retire at the stadium??? Pop is our Kobe

[slick'81]

Do you only post one repetitive TrumpTard post, calf tats?

Lmao You're the dumbfuck posting about Trump and making everything out to be about Trump. It sounds like you have a problem bro and need to recognize that not everything revolves around Trump like you seem to believe.

Btw, what happened to having me on ignore dipshit? :lmao

[Truth4sale$]

Hate to see Becky go, she is the most experienced bench assistants, the other two are too green for me.

[rjv]

Do you only post one repetitive TrumpTard post, calf tats?

Maybe he's gotta have something to do while waiting for the next Q drop.

[ducks]

as long as it's not here, I hope she gets one.

Why is it because she is a woman ?

[dbestpro]

If Becky was transgender instead of being a woman the Portland job would be in the bag.

[koriwhat]

Lol I don't buy that Q shit... Too boring for me.

The fact that Becky is interviewing for HC jobs tells me pop either isn’t retiring or if he does she isn’t getting the job

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

nah like any good boss with employees’ interests at heart, pop probably encourages her to keep her eyes open and check out opportunities as they arise.

[exstatic]

nah like any good boss with employees’ interests at heart, pop probably encourages her to keep her eyes open and check out opportunities as they arise.

That’s what he’s always done with assistants.

[Barfunk]

Man, I really want her to coach the Spurs. I guarantee you, this chic has IT. She'll win a championship as a coach eventually.

[The Truth #6]

Her agent is likely doing their job to get her interviews. It could be to simply gain negotiating leverage. Pretty standard.

[rjv]

how dare you post a reasonable post?

i guarantee you pop knows San Antonio aint shit and would tell staff to coach in toronto or portland if they could.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

my bad! i mean .. uh ... becky probably trying to find a place to run off with tony because we all know he as a man is still her daddy and patfo is too stupid and woke to let her be who she was born to be -- a housewife

[tmtcsc]

Bye Becky.


1403835969086930944

Lol, not a chance. There is an abundance of better and in some cases more experienced candidates out there.

[Kurgan]

Good riddance. She's a spineless yes man that was lead assistant on the worst Spurs team in 25 years.

[The Truth #6]

Good riddance. She's a spineless yes man that was lead assistant on the worst Spurs team in 25 years.

As the first female coach in the NBA, I don't know, perhaps there were certain pressures on her? Not to mention, no way she was going to push back against the higher ups and get fired. That's crazy. She doesn't have the connections in the league to survive something like that to her career. Also, maybe she thought she was learning from the best coach of all time? Granted, he's fallen off a cliff, but she's trying to have a long career in coaching it seems, and Pop has been the kingmaker for getting people jobs.

[The Truth #6]

So yeah, Becky is probably my first choice to take over. But one thing to consider is not just who will be the HC, but the absolute dearth of talent we have with the assistants. Hardy seems good, but I can't ever see him being taken seriously as a HC. So, the team will need quality assistant coaches, ideally veteran coaches who have some knowledge. What would be hilarious is to bring back Bob Weiss from the Walter Berry years, as he's now been a career assistant for decades helping other head coaches learn the ropes, but he may be dead now. Joking, mostly. But I would have to think the FO will need to look at the overall coaching bench when making a decision.

Update: https://deadorkicking.com/bob-weiss-dead-or-alive/

[GAustex]

Go Becky Go
Away

[BacktoBasics]

Go Becky Go
Away

Exact response I expect from one of our resident incels.

[offset formation]

Exact response I expect from one of our resident incels.

yeah, they make me flinch and rethink for wanting her gone too. Honestly, she lost me when she failed to take a knee with the team. It was like she was sucking up to ownership.

pop has his reasons and gets a pass from me since he's literally set the standard for speaking out on his player's behalf. she hasn't. plus she seems more interested in setting a precedent for women coaches by publicly acknowledging she just wants to be a head coach more than wanting to continue learning from the best to ever do it. plus she's overtly religious. can't stand that shit.

that and I think Ime Udoka and Will Hardy would be better fits.

all that combined to make me want her gone.

[cd98]

I love how people here have opinions on whether Becky is a good coach and whether she could coach a championship team. I’m not saying she’s not, it’s just that there is no way to know from where we are. We don’t know if any of the assistants are any good. None of them may be good enough. Rooting for Becky too often means rooting to give a woman a shot bc she’s a woman. To be honest, it’s a terrible way to pick a coach, but unfortunately that’s the how the calculus has to be done before a woman gets hired.

Im not saying a woman can’t coach a team to an NBA championship. There is no basis in sex to say that men are any better at coaching than women. I just don’t think anybody here knows if Becky is that good a coach.

[rjv]

my bad! i mean .. uh ... becky probably trying to find a place to run off with tony because we all know he as a man is still her daddy and patfo is too stupid and woke to let her be who she was born to be -- a housewife

exactly. all I can see is that she was a great player, with tons of experience at the most important position on the court and she has put in a lot of work as an assistant and studying the game. these things all count for a lot but, in the end, can she make it as a head coach? only way to know is to give her a shot one day.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Lol, not a chance. There is an abundance of better and in some cases more experienced candidates out there.

I could see Dame wanting to dust off D'Antoni's offense. Chauncey will likely get a shot at an HC post, too, I'd bet.

[rjv]

Sums it up nicely.

[The Truth #6]

I’d like Ime for sure. Might be my first choice but not sure he’s even looking. I still like Becky. I have no idea if she’s overly religious. That cross she wears could easily be to assuage the dumbasses who are concerned she’s a lesbian who played for the Russian team.

[TDomination]

Obviously this will never happen but it would be nice to know what she would have done different with this current team that Pop didn’t do.

what would her lineups look like, her defensive strategies. Would she be in favor of playing the young ones more? Etc.

Thats what I would care about most, but those things wouldn’t be answered until she became head coach.

I thought the Bubble changes were part of her suggestions?

[cd98]

I'm just spouting out thoughts here. I think most resistance to a female coach would be that players wouldn't respect the coach. I think there are settings where that could be the case. But a lot of the successful coaches in the NBA never made it there as a player. So that alone can't be how respect comes. Moreover, the "man" aspect of relating may be overrated. Men, especially in the younger and upcoming generations, have become so emasculated and women have become so much more empowered that it might actually be better for a team to have a female coach over a male coach, assuming equal knowledge of Xs and Os. A lot of young men are standing around looking for women to tell them what to do in our society. That's why women go to college more and are more gainfully employed than men.

And also who do the players thank and respect in the post conference after the game? Their moms. I have a feeling more of them would play harder and behave with the right attitude if they were coached by their moms. It would be an interesting experiment to see what happens. Maybe Becky Hammons will be the one to give us some insight on how this dynamic would work. I don't really care who coaches the Portland Trailblazers or the Orlando Magic. I'm more interested in the Spurs tanking and getting a lottery pick that changes the direction of the franchise. If a team has a legit superstar players, then the coach hardly matters. We've seen that time and again.

[The Truth #6]

Snyder too, but there’s no indication they would want to leave. We will have to hire someone on the way up or the way down. No coach in their prime on a legit playoff team is dropping a good team to come here. Bud if he’s fired, or Brett Brown trying to get back coaching. Or Ime or Becky as candidates looking to move up to be a HC. Longshot: a European coach no one expects. Messina? Was that his name?

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

New Orleans and Washington coaching jobs just opened up also. Becky is gone unless she knows and they promised her the position when Pop leaves this season or next.


if she or one of the other ladies whose names are connected to these jobs don’t get hired this off season, no telling when they ever will.

Women have no place in the NBA and that's why there's a league of their own. I know damn well if I was a player in the NBA I wouldn't give af what some YMCA WNBA ex-player had to say to me about what I do on the court when their skills are .0001% of what any NBA player gives.

There are men's coaches in the wnba.

[koriwhat]

There are men's coaches in the wnba.

And maybe they shouldn't be coaching in the WNBA... I would the think Men who have coached males in the past would know more about bball skillsets than any WNBA player or coach though but I could be wrong.

Either way, I am not against women working within the NBA but as a coach I think that should be off limits. Again, if I was an NBA player no woman is going to tell me how to play when all you have to do is point to any women's league and know none of them amount to more than a pickup game at your local YMCA or worse.

[koriwhat]

Even NBA ball back before my time and back before dunking and whatnot still had better skillsets than anything offered up by the WNBA rn. The WNBA games I'm seen a bit of are nothing but brick, brick, brick, brick, run, run, run, brick, etc... BORING and not very skillful in the least; a total and utter shit product!

Do you really sse James Harden or Kyrie being coached by Becky Hammon?

Nothing against women coaching but even in the WNBA the best coaches are Male.

I want nothing but the best for my team.
Stop using identity politics in the NBA.

Let's use simple meritocracy.
I cansee Coach Hammon coaching young teams like the Hornets or Orlando.
No elite team would hire either coach to be their Head Coach.

Teams are interviewing them to avoid cancelling.
Sorry for hurting some feelings here.

I've said before, I don't know if Becky is a good coach or not. But I think players in the NBA could be coached by the right woman. I get that a woman is not going to make an NBA roster as a player. But a coach? Why not? It doesn't take any special physical ability other than standing up for a timeout. There is nothing so special about the male brain that makes it only able to understand X's and O's. And a man or a woman can give a motivational speech. I think there was a time when players wouldn't listen to a woman, but I think those times are passed, at least generally. And meritocracy? She has been paying her dues. She played professionally, which is more than some coaches in the NBA, even if she didn't play in the NBA. And she has been working as an assistant coach for a while. I mean, the employer is the one that determines if a candidate merits consideration. Let the GMs decide if she has the ability. I know the GMs would get kuddos for hiring a woman, but they will also get fired if the experiment fails, in fact, they are likely to get fired before the female coach. So I don't think any GM is going to hire a woman unless he thinks she can do the job and win. His job is on the line if he hires her and she fails.

I don't think we'll see it happen for a LONG time. Although men have become more sensitive and emasculated, they still retain an ego. Having a female get in a male's face and yell or call you out invites added snickers and animosity from teammates and players on the opposing teams. I have no doubt a woman has all the knowledge and tools to be a NBA coach, I just don't believe men are ready to be led by one.

Becky's best and probably only chance of a head coaching gig in the NBA is right here in San Antonio. As a Spurs fan, I want no part of it. This team has a lot of other issues to deal with than the distraction and PR move by Woke Pop and the front office. She is not the best available coach in the market for a new team. There is a long list of more qualified and experienced candidates in front of her (Brent Barry is not one of them) and the worst thing any team can do is hire her based on her gender and trying to making a statement of equality and inclusion. Enough of the statements. A woman needs to be hired because she is the best person for the job. She needs to get paid like it too. This team needs a GM that can bring in a star player to build around.

Women have no place in the NBA and that's why there's a league of their own. I know damn well if I was a player in the NBA I wouldn't give af what some YMCA WNBA ex-player had to say to me about what I do on the court when their skills are .0001% of what any NBA player gives.

Say that you’ve never satisfied a woman without saying you’ve never satisfied a woman.

I'd be happy to see her coach an nba team, hope its the Spurs. I think she has the credentials and experience. I think she's earned an opportunity. Hope she gets one.

No doubt. No funnier argument than "she doesn't have the knowledge/experience/qualifications/know-how" as a masquerade for the real reason some posters want nothing to do with a HC Becky. She's been an assistant coach for seven (!) seasons, to one of the GOAT coaches if not the GOAT, of all people. Not to mention plenty of actual basketball on-court experience as a successful WNBA player. What other pedigree could she possibly require? The only better experience she could have would be - wait for it - actual HC experience, and most NBA HCs are brought on with plenty less credentials for their first stints.

Hell, what experience did Pop have when taking over the reigns as HC initially? But of course, he was a Man™, he must've known some things that are privy to the oh-so-small brain of a female like Becky...

She gone.

Becky is the one that offered to suck off anyone who could beat her in a game of horse isn't she?
I wonder if she can keep her sex life separate from the team.
She could be a decent coach as far as motivation is concerned but high-T girls like her are notorious ..

Since they’re interviewing two female coaches, I think Becky has a good shot here. They’re not doing it just for show.

It will be between Billups and Becky, IMO.

It’s an attempt at humor by some internet goofball.

Lmao

I should have said, "as head coach or close to it. FO is fine."

This choice will be interesting from a Lillard perspective. Billups is interviewing for Boston too. But, having played there, would he want that pressure of coaching the Celtics as his first job.

Both Billups and Hammond are former Point Guards. Can Billups start a job until Clippers win title or are eliminated? Hammond you can hire anytime. I'd think Dame would want Billups, management wouldn't mind either. Also, if Hammond is chosen, Dame could be moving. Management selling high to get a return on him, and his salary off the books. Just a gut feeling.

Doesn't look like Hammond is getting consideration from other clubs beyond a first look. News has been scarce on Pacers and Pelicans openings. Orlando was looking at Becky, haven't heard about any second interview. If Portland doesn't pick her for their coach, Spurs are still possible. With ownership reshuffle, and Holt having more concentration of power, how is the transition from Pop going to happen? Has Hardy already been chosen, just not made public until after Olympics? Would Hammond get a fair consideration from ownership regardless of any succession plans that may be in Pop's head? Will be interesting to see what happens.
