For what it’s worth, Becky Hammon is perceived by some to become the first female head coach of an NBA franchise in the not too distant future.

It will be interesting to see which owner has the “stones” to break tradition, and allow her to break through that barrier, and hire someone outside of the good o’ boys network.

IMBO, UConn does well in preparing its players for life after basketball. Some are commentators, some are working as execs in orgs, some are coaching.

Asjha is BY FAR the most underrated player in UCONN history. This is amazing news and I'm so happy for her.
