Message: [QUOTE="domerduck, post: 3609394, member: 10178"] I also think the virus may have affected the calculus of both hires which we don't know what that means in the future for either women coaches in the NBA nor leaving to go back to college. The Ivey hire was a closer refit than Lawson, and I am sure the salary worked out well in Niele's favor. The Kara hire is a geat one but more out of left field, but logical nonetheless considering the Duke Trustee/Celtic-owner connection. Given future budgets for both college coach hires and NBA assistant coaches given how the pandemic has affected things, I am not sure I see these moves as precedents for whether women coaches will succeed in the NBA. . I'd say Becky Hammon is still destined to be an NBA head coach and I don't think she would leave the NBA for a college. If she does than I think Plebe's prediliction may be forboding, but until then these two hires are more situation driven vs anything else. [/QUOTE]
