I can’t argue with her teacher. She’s learned from the best or at the very least most consistent coach in the game for several years now.

I’d be fine with it if that’s the path Griff/Trajan want to take. Pop seems to have faith in her. She will be a HC someday.

Don’t see why she would be a bad hire. She is always next to Pop and seems well respected across the league.

I’d be okay with it. Think there’s better options but there’s definitely worse ones

My best opinion is that Pop has created a system and organization over there that took years to establish. I do not think she is incapable by any means, but I think that system has helped her tremendously. I think it would be hard to tell what type of impact she would have on a younger less disciplined team like ours. We need a well respected tough guy > someone who did pretty well on an already fully established and disciplined team.

Cautiously optimistic.

Pop disciple and he really trusts her.

But there’s some inherent skepticism that I acknowledge.

We would get another heated draft lotto ball and favorable officiating.

I think she has the skills and experience now to seriously consider and I would mind if that was their choice. If I had to pick I’ve guy out if the available candidates it would be Kenny Atkinson. He has a good system and can be that authoritative figure that the young guys need without being a dick.

Just remember that Dell Demp is not choosing the HC. Thank God

Definitely wouldn’t be excited but I’d take her over Kidd or Mark Jackson

I would be cautiously optimistic. I would take her over Ty Lue in a heartbeat, and would prefer to try her out than for Gentry to have had another season. That said I do worry about player respect as she implements a system and until she wins. It has helped working under Pop, but going out on her own is a whole new ballgame.

I have zero issues with a woman head coach but I’m unsure about her fit with this roster. I feel like there’s some guys that may not buy into a woman.

I would have no problem with it. She's been studying under Pop for a while now, and is well respected. And I honestly think today's NBA players would be far more open than generations prior to a female HC. You might get one or two Grinch's, but even then they'd probably keep it quiet to avoid the media backlash.
