Oh gawd.
Actually, yes they were mentioned. And those men were there. Did you get to watch the celebration at the Alamodome?
Oh gawd.
Popovich never played in the NBA. How can he possibly evaluate the strengths and tendencies of NBA players?
Pop can watch all the video in the world of the NBA but it can't replace the in-game experience of the NBA game that Kevin McHale has over him.
As mentioned, kindly provide the proof.
And the argument against Hammon not being there there was already made above.
0-4 in 2013-14, tbh
So being an intern automatically qualifies as experience for a given position. Lol, Ok, like I said, in Pop I trust but at this point you guys are piling on just to pile on.
She may be qualified but I doubt she will ever be more than an assistant in the NBA. Coaching men is very different than coaching women. Sure women are emotional too but can you imagine the storm that would ensue if a player got into it with her? D Wade wanted to punch out Spoelstra. I just don't think she has much of a career path in the NBA so I can see why some would see her being an assistant coach as pointless. I do think she is qualified though.
, Watson should be replacing Pop right now!
Such experience!
Um, yes.
That given position for sure.
What do you think internships are for, dude?
Can anyone actually refute that these guys weren't there and weren't mentioned or announced at all? Seriously? Again, at this point you guys are piling on just to pile on.
Bosses frequently use internships to assess potential new hires. It appears that is precisely what Pop did with Becky.
Are you suggesting that shouldn't happen in the NBA for some reason or just that it shouldn't happen for a woman in the NBA?
Now you are demanding others to prove a negative.
Good show!
To get your foot in the door. I've interned for attorneys, that doesn't mean I have experience as a legal expert.
Where did you learn to construct so many straw men so quickly?
A) It's a logical fallacy to equate internship in the corporate world with the 'internship' Hammon had with the Spurs last year. It's similar to the same logical fallacy as people arguing why NBA players should not push for higher salaries.
Just working as part of the coaching staff, front office, or player roster at the NBA level puts you at the top percentile of this field. Professional basketball by itself is such a unique field that it can't really be equated to any other industry aside from other professional sports.
B) Again, I'm not piling on you - just pointing out that the arguments you've been making so far have major holes in them.
So now we're pretending the Alamodome celebration didn't happen just for the sake of jerking off to piling on one poster? Lol, unbelievable.
Not one poster said the celebration didn't happen.
Not one.
You're surrounding yourself with straw men hoping they will protect you.
You were making the argument that Hammon not being mentioned invalidates whatever contribution she might have had.
I said that if you're going to follow that path of logic, you'd need to prove that the others were mentioned in order to show that their contributions were valid. Otherwise, arguing that Hammon not being mentioned as evidence that her contributions are not enough to qualify her is insufficient to support your overall point.
How is that piling on?
Not as fast as your construction of ad hominems.
No, ignorant and disingenuous were quite accurate qualifiers for your arguments.
You had no idea Hammon spent a season working with the Spurs doing many of the very things assistant coaches do, then you intimated she didn't deserve the job because she was busy playing basketball for a team owned by the Spurs and was not sitting at the Alamodome.
Ignorant and disingenuous.
In any event, good for Earl "Probably Should be Coaching the Big Club, What with My NBA Experience" Watson.
Because it is cheap tactic knowing full well there is no archived footage of the championship celebration that I know you and everyone else here has seen but prefer to build this alternate reality where these men mentioned weren't there so everyone can continue to refute me. Hey, I'm all for constructive feedback but I don't need to get on about it. In fairness, you've at least been more even-handed about it.
