Yesterday, the
San Antonio Spurs hired Becky Hammon as the first fulltime assistant coach in
the NBA. Hammon is a 37-year old point
guard with the San Antonio Stars of the WNBA.
A knee injury last year got the six-time All-Star to thinking seriously
about her post-playing career.
I’m not
surprised that the Spurs are giving Hammon a shot. Coach Gregg Popovich comes from the Bill
Walsh school of coaching, where the unconventional approach is to be expected. And any team with Tim Duncan on it is going
to be serious about things. I only wish
major-league baseball had beaten the NBA to the punch.
But there’s still
time. Right, Clare?
