You mean other than last year with the Spurs when she was around an NbA coaching staff for most of the season and worked with pro male athletes?
So Hammon has NBA experience? Enlighten me please instead of cheap insults.

And why don't you quote the part where I'm willing to let this work out?
I am not responsible for your ignorance.
You do something about it yourself.
Will she get a ring for her contributions? No.
Your initial whining negates that.
lol
Goalposts: moved
She has no official NBA job until her addition this past summer. But I'll continue to be civil while you continue to be an internet tough guy.
Whether she gets a ring or not is irrelevant. The fact remains that she did put her time in last season, in a manner that has been recognized by players and coaches alike. That's irrefutable.
What difference does that make? You are complaining that she lacks experience. She clearly had gained experience, last year with an elite team and a well-respected coaching staff, no matter whether she also got jewelry in the process. You criticize the hire saying she's never worked with pro male althletes, but the pro male athletes who play for the NBA champions worked with her last year, seem to universally respect her in that capacity, and welcomed her hire. But what could they possibly know about it. No rings, no credibility I guess.
Nothing tough about pointing out your ignorance and goalpost moving.
You completely mischaracterized her experience from the start.
Why?
You were either being ignorant of disingenuous.
I suspect you started out ignorant then went straight to disingenuous in order to defend the initial ignorance.
You can dislike her hiring if that's your choice, but don't try to defend that position with counterfactual justifications and expect that you won't get blowback from those who don't hold your opinion.
It's funny that I was willing to drop my initial observations and wish Hammon success but there's simply no room for a counterpoint here, I guess.
SpurPadre point is Becky was with the team albeit unofficially since last year. So saying she has no experience with the NBA is quite unfair since she worked for her job right now through 1 whole season. And what does Watson bring to the table that Becky can't, except a 8===D? It's not like our pg's/players need more input on how to play the game, we've got enough of that. Becky's signing is still rather a mystery though since we don't know what will be her main role in the team, I'll give that to you.
O woe is you.
I don't mind a counterpoint if there is any logic at all behind it. Your attempt was sorely lacking.
Not necessarily. Pop has gone on record about the different perspectives Messina and Hammon would bring respectively into the coaching staff. That means he's open to new inputs and is willing to consider their suggestions.
No matter how good the coach/team is, there's always potential ways to keep improving. As good as Pop is, it's a very dangerous mentality to think that there aren't any further ways of getting the team to improve out there.
It's not that there aren't counterpoints to the Hammon hiring - it's that the counterpoint of having no NBA experience doesn't apply to this particular situation.
SpurPadre not trying to hide his misogynistic views.
I don't mean to pile on the political/social correctedness but this just an asinine remark. Hammon has tons of experience leading her teams on every level. Also, factor in the work she put in with the Spurs and her familiarity with the team and it seems like a perfect fit.
Also, just because someone is a female doesn't disqualify them from an opportunity to coach either gender. Basketball is the same on every level in terms of fundamentals and schemes.
That's actually my point meaning that we really didn't/don't need Watson with our current coaching staff right now esp how it improved with one of the best coaches in Europe and a great WNBA player.
Also, Ettore has no NBA experience too right? While Becky already has. So does that mean we should hire Watson over both? Yep.
But aren't you guys stretching and over-emphasizing what role she played this past season to the team? If her contributions were so invaluable, she would've been at the Riverwalk and Alamodome celebration but she wasn't nor were her contributions mentioned among the speeches. And her current role carries a bigger responsibility, much bigger responsibility. I'm amongst you all hoping she pans out.
He has pro male athlete experience and more importantly, experience with Manu.
Yes but you said Becky didn't have nba experience. Just playing your game.
Ah, noted.
In my defense, the original statement could be interpreted in several ways.
Smh. Never said she had no experience at any level. Come on, now.
