Wish her all the best and hope she's the first woman to be a HC in the NBA. Only because she gets it and would be a killer head coach in the NBA.

Wish her the best but just like on a boat at sea she is bad luck. Happy to see her go tbh
Hope she stays but she'll probably take the money
Remember when some people actually got blocked for misogyny? Dammit... I won't say anything. GL Becky.
Have no idea if she is just another of Pops Yes Men or not.
How did this factoid avoid media spotlight?:
Hammon, who was born and grew up in the United States, became a naturalized Russian citizen in 2008 and represented the Russian national team in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics.[1]
WTF?!
Hammon said she played for Russia primarily to play on the Olympic stage, and it was not a purely financial decision. However, by obtaining Russian citizenship, her salary with CSKA tripled, and she was eligible to make $250,000 for winning a gold medal for Russia. She would have received a $150,000 bonus for winning a silver medal.[15] (ended up with bronze)
So what?
Very Pop like. They hate our country. Damn commies.
Think if she waited it out she could get a higher profile job as a men's head coach college or pro, but if she takes it congrats to her.
yeah, I wanted her to go for a head coaching job in a mens league
I really hope she doesn't take a women's team job. She can definitely coach men.
Good riddance.
No more distracting gum chewing
Coaching women will only be worth it for her if she can recruit a team to compete with UConn. Otherwise may as well go and try for a lower level men's D1 gig.
She turned down the job? What an idiot.
Smart move. She would've been irrelevant coaching women's college basketball. Everyone else is just playing for 2nd if you're not UConn.
At least now she has a chance to coach in the NBA.
I like her trajectory with San Antonio.
Among Messina, Borego, and Udoka, they'll be a opening maybe even next year as I'm sure any of them will get HC offers.
That means she gets moved to the front bench, and from there her NBA roadmap will really pick up steam.
Anyone think the Spurs are going to make her the first female head coach?
Well as long as she sits on the Spurs bench she can take part credit for 60 win teams and know that progressive Pop will talk her up regardless if she can coach. But if she head coaches in Florida, she owns that record for good or bad. Probably best to wait for a sure fire opportunity before jumping ship. I don't know that an NBA team will hire her without her coaching for a full season somewhere, but she should make sure wherever that is that it will be the best spot if she wants to coach in the NBA.
No...
I think she needs experience coaching on her own b4 such a task or at least a higher coaching gig than the one she has now.
She probably wrestled with this decision a good deal. I think she smartly chose to bide her time and wait for something better, but she's looking around.
I hope the best for her as long as it's not with the Spurs. And I'm not saying that a woman can't understand the game as well as a man. Just that I don't believe a woman will ever convince 12 dudes that she knows what she's doing.
Look I'm as right wing as you can get but I absolutely think Hammond would in fact command the attention and dedication of her own NBA team.... with the caveat being that that team is an iteration of what we see today in San Antonio.
Plainly speaking if she stays with this Popovich-Buford built organization for 10-15 years, she would ascend to the HC job.
My prediction would be her taking the reigns from whoever follows Popovich after he leaves in 2020.
She'd be following Budenholzer's blueprint of being an assistant from 1997-2013.
Exactly. She has a lot of cachet being the first full-time female assistant coach in the NBA - and with the Spurs. Why would she go to UF to coach an also-ran women's NCAA team and become one of the herd of female head coaches in NCAA women's basketball?
