This great breakthrough, story and accomplishment is not about just one person or one organization. It's about one accomplished basketball player with a high basketball IQ and an organization that "simply gets it "! Hammon, is the first female to join an NBA coaching staff , none other than the classy Spurs' organization.
The Spurs through their ownership, GM , coaching staff and players are the epitome of "sports' class" from top to bottom. For this hiring to have come about it needed the right individual and the right organization. Almost like Branch Rickey, the Brooklyn Dodgers and Jackie Robinson in the 1940's!
Anyway, based on the success that former Popovich assistants have had and continue to have, Hammon may one day be a head coach in the NBA. Look forward to it.....
