re: What’s y’all thoughts on Becky Hammon?

6 years as an assistant is actually a pretty long time. There are plenty of guys that have been hired with less.

6 years is not a long time when you have no prior relevant experience.
The only guys that have been hired with less are guys that actually played in the NBA for over a decade. Her WNBA experience isn't relevant experience.

Would anyone give Dan Craig a look if all he had was 6 years experience, with the majority of it not sitting behind the bench? The answer is hell no, b/c like Hammon, he has no prior relevant experience as a player, and 6 years as an assistant, not even a 2nd or 3rd lead assistant for most of it, isn't a resume that should be considered for a head coaching position.


We have mentioned many assistants here, and all of them have a ton of more experience than Hammon, yet you idiots want to keep bringing her up b/c she's a her.
Will Hardy has been with the spurs for 10 years, longer than her. Why not mention him? He's been the summer league coach for the spurs for 3 years if that means anything, and all of those 3 years were when Hammon was on staff. What does that tell you?
Chip Engelland has been there 15 years. Why not mention him?
You could make a case that Tim Duncan's resume is better than Hammon's at this time, and it'll certainly be better in a a few years.
