ive been told Becky is 1B Jay Wright is 1A. Jay Wright just happens to be assisting this summer for the US team too.
There is only one reason why Hammond would get hired as a HC. And it has nothing to do with basketball.

Youd be 100% wrong
People impressed by a summer league win crack me up. Who the cares if she won in that league?
So 0% HC experience plus 1 year as 4th in line, all that make her qualified to be the Head Coach for a perennial playoffs organization. You got it right, sure.
I suppose you hire people every day in your job....
Shes the number 1 candidate in a lot of places, but sure, take it out on me if it gives ya your jollies.
I hate the idea of a college coach taking the reins but I'm just not convinced by any of Pop's current assistants. They come off as yes men. They're part of the reason why the Spurs have problems keeping up with the rest of the NBA.
If she was the number 1 in a lot of places she would be gone dude. She is the #1 token interview in a lot of places.
Hahaha.....right!
Becky showed that she was really good at in game calls in summerleague.
I've never been impressed with Messina. He came in after 2014 and hasn't made an impact. I suspect the frustration of many of how conservative the Spurs play is due to Messina.
Udoka I have no data points to know how well he actually coaches.
The effectiveness of Becky leading a group of men on a night in, night out basis, for many years and commanding their respect is going to be the question. And that is a social experiment that I would rather the Spurs not gamble on, let someone else prove it can work first.
Yes, this makes Becky a questionable choice. The current crop of players might take instruction from her because of the Spurs culture bull . As will the guys drafted and brought up through the Spurs own development process but it's gonna be a stretch to attract free agents that will want to play for her. Even worse, hiring her ensures that "Spurs culture" guys like Patty will stay here long term in order to not lose the locker room.
Personally, I don't think any of the assistants are very good. If they were, Spurs wouldn't be playing such ugly basketball.
I respectfully disagree. You play the basketball you can depending on the personnel you have...with DDR, LMA anf Gay being our three main players you can only play the game we played...DJM was the one supposed to change the pace and style of the team, but we all know of the ACL... Franckly I think we've been lucky to find in White a player that fits well with the kind of style we played this season...developing in little time a good chemistry with the starting line up, expecially with LMA.
If you remember before Murray injury a change of style with a sort of up tempo pace, was said to be in order...also Pop said something about that. But with no Murray, that sort of style was possible only with Mills or Forbes as a point guard...and thank God that experiment has never been made or has been abandoned early, 'cause of lack of play making skills of both players...in favor of DDR and then White being the point guards (with outcome of a play off season).
Back to the point, I think the choices about starting players and playing style have been made on the run by Pop with all the assistant coaches...and that's one of the most difficult thinghs and choices you can do during a season...thank God we have brilliants mind as Coach and assistant coaches...in other organizations and with different coaching staff the outcome could have been the complete caos.
So I don't think any of the assistant has little value or is just a yessman...on the contrary the mere fact that a lot of changes have been made with a positive outcome is clearly speaking by himself...(and also speacks about the intelligence and colture of the team and organization...nobody has abandoned the ship or has played "against" the team).
No, she is the #1 PR move. Something like a black coaching candidate in NFL a decade ago, it was a league-mandated interview nothing more than that. The qualified black candidates didn't need it, obviously.
Oh yes, the summer league.
Why doesnt she have a job then? She will continue to have her name floated for a long time and not get a job. Dont be a stupid SJW. Women coaching men is a lot more complicated than you think. This isnt some close minded viewpoint, there are very legitimate logistical issues with it that may prevent it from ever being plausible in a successful way. She will eventually get a chance but I assure you it wont be in the near future.
Sorry man but that is truly bull .
Because she and her family love San Antonio. What is there not for her to like? She's interviewed elsewhere and turned some things down. She likes SA. It's not that weird. Plus Becky is not typical woman lol. She's a jock and an alpha. Players respect her.
Show me an article saying she turned down a head coaching job to stay in SA.... Ill be waiting
I called this like 3 years ago. There was another thread made about it. Self and RC have been great friends for years (helped get him his job at Kansas). It’s likely going to happen tbh.
wait till you rot haShow me an article saying she turned down a head coaching job to stay in SA.... Ill be waiting
I don't have to show you
Yeah because you are making up
She was offered and turned down a HC position in the NBA? And nobody knows about it? OK, whatever
