Spurs hire first ever female assistant coach in NBA

Good for her. No reason women cannot coach an NBA team.

Really stoked that the Spurs hired a female coach. IMO some of my best teachers in my life have been female, and I'm sure that this could apply to basketball as well. She strikes me as smart, and I'm stoked for her & the realm of women in sports altogether.




With that said, she is quite pretty, and I hope it doesn't promote unprofessional behaviour from male athletes not used to having an attractive female coach (obvs not her fault, and this is more of a testament on men).
 
This will be the only time that being attractive as a women can cost your job lol

I think Pop forgets what it was like to be a young man. Seems like she could be a distraction.

She was around the team a ton last year........... when the Spurs might have been the most focused team in NBA history.

I think there is a difference between focus and professionalism. Also, I think her role has increased, and there's a higher likelihood of some sort of clash between player/coach than what her position was previously.


With that said I have high hopes because a) Pop has full control over that team, and I imagine he will allow nothing of the sort; b) Spurs are a world-class organization top-down, from ownership to players, and there could not be a better environment for Hammon to get started

Care to elaborate? I can't wait to hear how your argument hinges on this distinction.

I agree with the bulk of what you're saying, I just bristle at the idea that increased contact between a woman and men is something to get immediately cautious about. After all, you basically don't know anything about them as people.... you're just basing this off some 'universal law of the sexes'. In other words, it's lol.

So I can't make fun of stereotypes?
Can't believe you are completely devoid of a sense of humor.

BTW, would you be shocked to learn the WNBA has a special marketing plan to target theur LGBT fan base?

I suspect there's a reason NASCAR uses beer and bikini-clad women to market themselves. Or shoe and apparel companies love the NBA.

Making fun of stereotypes is cool when the joke has at least one thread of originality. Some would say that it's best when you aren't making fun of a category that absolutely excludes you. Yours was the most obvious one at-hand, and at some distance from you. You can make fun of stereotypes all you want, but it's another thing to do that AND be "classy." You didn't thread that needle.

Sorry, didn't realize I had to be homosexual to make a joke. Please tell all african-american comedians to never make a joke about white people. Or women to never make fun of men (and vice-versa).

So this average white guy walks into the bar with another average white guy who also happens to be a Utah Jazz fan...
