Great Hire for WBB. She'll assume duties upon completion of the WNBA Season.

Congratulations to Becky! I saw a SportCenter Feature about her studying coaching with the Spurs- IMO she couldn't have a better teacher than Gregg Popovich & his staff.

I add my congrats!

Great Opportunity.

Certainly seems like a significant step forward for women in basketball. I can only imagine where her career trajectory might lead. Could she coach the men at a level above assistant (either college or pro)? Hell, if a man like Geno can coach young women so well, perhaps a woman could coach men as successfully.

Great for Becky. Who's next? My money is on Diana.

Didn't that sweetheart Anne Donovan call Becky Hammon a traitor?

Big "ups" to Becky !!! A huge step for her career and for women in sports, generally

At first glance I thought, a whole thread for this? Really?

Then it actually clicked that the Spurs and Silver Stars are not the same. Ohhhhhh.

Congrats to her. Best of luck.

that was something else entirely.
