Honestly she was very impressive. Great game management, timely timeouts, and that set she drew for the final possession to put her team in position to tie was great

[triplemysterio]

the league has really evolved throughout the years, hope there could be a female head coach for the reg season too

[Colossal]

hope she becomes the coach after pop leaves. It seems like their molding her for that.

[mrnevermind]

She will do a fantastic job, I have been hearing pretty awesome things about her

[dunadan]

Becky is a legend of russian basketball overall, not just women basketball. Hope she becomes an NBA head coach and becomes a legend in NBA too.

This is immensely inspiring, thank you so much Becky. HANDLE BUSINESS.

[foresthart]

Pop knows what he is doing. Great choice Pop.

[TheDkmariolink]

Been nice knowing you Spurs. Without Greg that team is done.

[ryanbxxxx]

Anyone else panic for like 2 seconds because you forgot it was summer league and thought they fired Popavich.

I'm glad we're finally getting to that point where we aren't shutting women out of big positions in the NBA, and are integrating them. Congratulations to Becky Hammons for her position on the Spurs

If she can do the job why not, if she can out coach current NBA coaches why not? If she has high BBall IQ why not?

[vince]

As a society we ain't ready for this yet. Not to be sexist but if she was to yell at players like pop does how many players in this league are gonna handle it like a professional? Men share a special kind of bond (pause) that female coaches won't be able to bring to the table.

After watching this video I knew there would be a shit ton of hate comments I was right.

[MOJOOTDT]

Call me what you will....I, if I were a male professional athlete, would be offended that my team owner forced me to take athletic/competitive advice from a woman.

[TopFlightSecurity]

im actually curious to see how she will do in the nba

[panzerjager]

Still loving how the Comments are most filled with 12 year-olds

I think she could handle it. If they do a slow process of giving her more and more time, eventually leading up to her taking the role, then it might work. Plus, do you really think Pop would tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her based on the fact she was a women? He's taught them better than that.

[gravemike]

She used to play in Russian national team and in Russian women's league. Now I understand why Pop has chosen her:)

[randomname]

Why didn't she take over in San Antonio or another team. She's in the WNBA now.
