History was made in the NBA this month when Becky Hammon was named head coach of the San Antonio Spurs summer league team

Hoping she'll keep breaking barriers. The road to the NBA is being paved, amazing job.

Greg papa you've given a woman the reigns of a team that builds character. Major respect to you for that. That takes faith, and most of all, heart. Good luck coach.

Not sure if she's going to be a Great coach, but am confident she can be a good coach.

Coaches have tremendous influence on the players. Shattering the archaic role mould allows the person to recognized for who they are and not what they represent.

Blessings coach, continue your path to becoming a great coach.

I really hoped that there were no sexist comments. Well, I was wrong. Stupid people are everywhere

[tawtam]

It's the summer league for Gods sake.

I was hoping not to see some sexist comments, but I need to lower my expectations

One must ask why would you want a woman to be a leader of men when you have numerous qualified men to hire

[humbleonemoretime]

This is interesting but will it be ok if women played in the nba with men

[wolf-xin]

Honestly, women have no business coaching in the NBA... it is a male workplace environment. it’s not that they aren’t knowledgeable, but they cause a imbalance in the locker room behind the scenes.. examples: showers and locker room attire now become an issue. How do you address that? Do teams now have to alter or implement new dress codes for the locker room to adhere to the presence of one woman? Why should they have to adjust so one new coach can feel “comfortable”? If the woman coach has no power to change standards and culture in locker rooms or filed lawsuits for what they feel inappropriate workplace practices, then that’s another topic. But I still disagree and feel women have no right to disturb and demand new standards for locker rooms. My two cents

I'd play for her any day of the week.

Imagine taking over for few quarters and already being called great. Lol as if all precious male coaching went out the window

[zapp]

*This is ridiculous she's winning because the team is good...stay in the wnba*

[dadyarusski]

Can women coaches win, or are these token gestures?!
