Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 2765892, member: 5823"] It is my understanding that there is an established pecking order/progression for NBA assistant coaches to the HC position as mentioned in [USER=8229]@Scoop[/USER] write up. Behind the bench goes to on the bench then to first assistant. Becky was behind the bench last year. Some NBA teams have the equivalent of a defensive coordinator or offensive coordinator as first assistants. 4 years is not a very long time for an WNBA assistant. More typical is the Atlanta Hawks hiring Lloyd Pierce as head coach. Lloyd was an assistant coach for 11 years and was essentially the 76ers defense coordinator last year.
