Iīve seen other comments you made and you strike as a fair poster, but for some reason you are trying hard to make this a sexist thing. I maintain my position, hiring Becky can go right or wrong (mostly for her) but if it goes wrong, it will be because her experience in the NBA didnīt translate on to the NBA, not because she is a woman.
When you say she is automatically qualified because the Spurs say she is, you give them a "they can do not wrong" aura, so if by any chance she canīt deliver, youīll be "she was cappable so clearly they let her go her only because she is a woman and the players didnīt respect her".
Well, I donīt agree with that.
If you look at the track record of teams stealing our assistants, you might have to re-evaluate your position. Pop DOES know how to pick and train assistants, and the rest of the league knows it and wants them.

Is really not that hard to understand, the spurs had their agenda, and Manu had his, if he would have been healed by the 40 days he would had every right to play, but as he wasnīt healed, he didnīt have the right, his contract is clear about it. He didnīt agravated his injury by "reckless behavior", he only took all the steps to fulfill his agenda.

I am quite happy with your revisionist history and modified opinions.
Man, i wish I was happy as you, but is just exhausting answering to every false interpretation you make. I donīt know how the other guys make the time.

And, yes, he did reaggravate it. It is well-reported that by attempting to begin training too early, he began to experience pain. That pain is accompanied by inflammation. In your world that is no reaggravation. For those of us living in reality, yes. He took greater risk. Nothing you've said refutes this. But, you've said Becky isn't much of a risk to The Spurs, just herself, so moot point.

Interesting. I didn't know that. Thanks for the clarification.:toast

This is also where Leo's argument falls apart. He's saying that she doesn't look good on paper as a premise, but she has quite a resume. The only place where her resume is lacking is NBA experience and coaching experience. It may be that no woman ever plays in the NBA, so to use NBA experience as a criteria would preclude all women from ever coaching in the NBA. That could come off as a tad-bit sexist. Regarding coaching experience, she had a coaching internship with the very team that is hiring her. They can make a mistake, it's not that they have an aura of "they can't do anything wrong", it is more like: Who would be the better judge of whether or not she can do the job of an assistant, Leo, some scrub on a message board, or The Spurs, with an excellent track record, who she has already interned for?

Then, wouldn't it make more sense to hire her to coach the Stars? I find it hard to believe that she is MORE qualified to coach in the NBA than in the WNBA.

Re: Spurs hire Becky Hammon as assistant coach
Even further, Leo, now that you've moved the goal-posts, and said that the major risk is for Becky, not The Spurs, how about of of those good ol' internet wagers:
I'll wager that this job is so UNrisky for Becky that she gets another year as assistant with The Spurs, or moves on to another assistant job or head coaching job (professional or college, Olympic, WNBA or International), after this year with The Spurs is up, barring her death or serious injury or illness. If neither of these things occurs, I will never post again. If it does occur, you admit it wasn't all that risky at all by never posting again?

lol, i donīt know where this obsession is coming from, but you keep twisting my words to pick up some reaction. Please quote me saying the spurs shouldnīt hire Becky or try to troll someone else, you are making me break my post count average.

Sounds a lot like "keep 'em in the kitchen". If they think she is qualified enough to be an ASSISTANT in the NBA, then I am sure they believe that she is qualified to do similar work in the WNBA. The question is: Must she remain there. They don't seem to think so. When this happened, it didn't even move my needle. Gave it a big "meh". Not surprised at some of the meltdown on ST. That's what we do here. But, I am pretty sure this is about 100 down on the list of reasons we will or won't repeat. She is one of several assistants, all of which have seniority over her. Even if she never showed up for work, or was drunk tweeting the whole season, I am pretty sure our chances remain about the same.

Hows about you tell me where *I* said YOU said they shouldn't hire her. Let's just stick to what was said. First you said "it" was risky, then you said that "it" wasn't so risky for The Spurs, but mostly for her...and those are the words I am using. I'll take that as a "no" on the wager, then.
Now, you're backing even further away. Now, you want me to find a quote where you said that they shouldn't have hired her, implying that maybe you're even a proponent of the acqusition! You have come a long way, my friend.

And, Leo, I'm not twisting your words. If they sound dumb when I say them back to you, there's a reason for that. They were dumb.

True but how do we know Becky, as a former player, isn't Coach Magic or Coach Thomas. Of course it doesn't really matter. She's an assistant that will spend her days breaking down film and scouting other teams, not making Tim Duncan run after practice sprints or deciding whether Manu or Tony will run the last play of Game 7 in the playoffs.

Ok dude, what ever you say, if my point gets trough to other posters thatīs fine, if not, you can go on and make 100 posts about it, I wonīt start quoting myself only to refute you.

What are the odds that Tony Parker fucks her? My guess would be between 1.05-1.08.

Re: Spurs hire Becky Hammon as assistant coach
And, just in case you send me off on an errand to find your quotes for you...
"Anyway, is a risky move by Popovich, and not for her beeing a woman."
"I think that if there is any doubts about Becky cappabilities, will be more related to the fact that she doesnīt have any NBA experience, not because of her gender or her intelligence."
NBA experience she can never get, nor possibly can any woman, because there aren't any women in the NBA. But, let's count that as a "doubt" against her capabilities. You do see how that can sound just a LITTLE bit like a catch-22, and a little sexist.
"I promise not to doubt the capabilities of any potential female assistant coaching candidates as long as they have NBA experience."
If they wanted to hire a dude in a wheelchair that only played in wheelchair NBA, you'd have a hard time getting away with that argument. Wheelchair dude has never and will never play in the NBA, either. Someone would slap you with the ADA so fast yer head would spin.
And, of course, you've already been given the Chad Fourcier, Greg Popovich, and Sean Marks examples of coaches that never played in the NBA.

She's a clam-smacker, so her chances of getting boned in the locker room died when Neal walked out that door to Milwaukee tbh.
