Becky Hammon had to fight for everything she got along the way. She took the road less traveled and worked in a field with men and carved out a pretty good reputation based on her skills. In my opinion she has the right to ask a player a question and deserves an honest reply. If it turns out to be untrue then she has every right to get rid of that player and she doesn't owe it to anyone to do it nicely. It would be nice if she did but learning from Gregg Popovich probably created that cold business side of her.
I also think I would go for a younger coach too. Maybe 34 to 35 years old so they could build their own dynasty at UConn.
