Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 4392426, member: 7511"] First off, I think Hammon was a great player and is a great coach. But I must say that this article bothers me a great deal. Voepel cites absolutely no one who doubted Hammon’s ability. She simply employs vague references like, “they said” to imply, among other things, that Hammon should have been a HC in the NBA after 8 years as an assistant. Who exactly are “they?” There are a lot of long time assistants in the NBA who have put in more years than Hammon and are still assistants. Notwithstanding his current problems, Ime Odoka put in 9 years as an assistant before finally getting the head job in Boston, and subsequently taking them to the championship series in his first season. I have no doubt that Hammon will do great things as a coach, whether she decides to stay in the W or moves back to coach in the NBA. But Voepel’s article is just click bait imo. [/QUOTE]
