The last Mercury head coach was a former W player who had head coaching experience ... in high school. She also had less than four years of experience as a W assistant. True, he has not coached women. But he has been an assistant coach at the absolute highest leave in men's basketball. More importantly, it shows the W is a viable destination for the best young, up-and-coming coaches. Instead of W talent going to the NBA (James Wade, leaving his HC/GM gig in Chicago for an NBA assistant job in Toronto), the talent is coming to the W. The new Mercury GM was an assistant GM with the Golden State Warriors. And now the new Mercury HC is an NBA assistant. The W is looked at as the desired job/destination. That is a very good thing for the position and viability of the league in the sports marketplace. Now, if only more women were given consideration for NBA assistant coaching jobs, much less HC gigs ... [/QUOTE]
