Becky Hammond as new Orlando Magic coach?

I can't yet find this to paste, but this morning's Orlando Sentinel has a feature by regular sports commentator Mike Bianchi in which he argues for the above.
He cites her experience under Greg Pop, and he wonders whether young players have more trust in women than men, as an extension of their mothers' devotion.

It would certainly mark a breakthrough.

During the last home game when Popovich was not on the bench to handle funeral arrangements, BH moved from the second row to the first row. I thought perhaps she
would finally have some interaction with the coaching staff but I never saw her given the chance to interact with anyone during the many cutaway shots when the "all boys" coaching network was in active discussion. Unless I am wrong and I hope I am, I think she is spinning her wheels at SA and should actively look for other opportunities. I don't think a women will break into the NBA Head Coach fraternity in the foreseeable future.
