What do you make of this?

I say good for her. The gotten to online is pretty funny though, as if they signed her to a contract to play. I'm sure she has plenty of basketball intelligence to do the job.

she's great at the box out

I wouldn't blame him. Would plow.

 

[El Chimpo]

but seriously

if anyone can pull this off and make it work, its pops

 

[INeedARemedy]

At least she won't have to worry about Duncan hitting on her

 

[llperez22]

becasue it's the spurs, many are saying how innovative it is. 80% of the league did it, and it would be joke. Not an open joke since that would be unpoliticaly correct of course.

And her name is Becky.

 

[Kneepocalypse]

she a rug muncher? or will she always be telling the boys to hit the showers.

 

[faustian]

Typical Spurs always pandering to far left extremists

 

[prod2821]

after a year experience, she could probably be the best coach in the East

okay maybe not, but she'll probably head coach the WNBA or WCB soon enough

 

[Revolver]

Who cares

 

[Ozymandias]

I'm fine with it. Women have the WNBA which is a high level league.

A women coach in baseball, football or hockey will never happen without outrage though.

 

[Breakitdown]

She probably doesn't know much about how real basketball is played (not her fault she's never had the experience) and she's certainly has never played at any type of skill level to justify this hire. This is a clear cut PR move.

More qualified than Spolestra

I agree that it's PR in part, but to your point about skill level, a lot of NBA coaches never played a single game of pro ball.

And any of those coaches are infinitely better than any of best woman's basketball "players" you could think of. The best woman's basketball "player" is equivalent to an average varsity HS player.

Thought this was relevant to my interest, but now I realize this is about the fake Spurs, not the real ones in England.

Fuck Spurs
