First Female Officials, Now Spurs Hire First Female NBA Coach - Thoughts?

[scottcarter]

why can't women and men have somethings to themselves? Not everything needs to be with both sexes does it? Can women have their own gyms without men demanding they have access? Its just weird to me.

Let's see...how many NBA championships has Pop won?

If Pop thinks this is good idea, maybe, just maybe, he knows what he's doing...

If the game has the same rules, exactly, then i think officiating is okay

if the game has the same strategy (usually it doesn't), then coaching is okay

if the rules change, or strategies are different, I think they should be put through the same test/scrutiny as it would be for an ordinary guy to get those same positions

female reporters for male sports I do not like. I do not think they should be allowed to go into a male locker room. I also do not think the male reporters should be in female locker rooms

 

[Enfuego]

Yeah I understand what ya mean Scott.
And there are plenty of things women are better at than men under certain circumstances, but not this.






Pretty much this.







There will never...ever...be a female who can tell a professional male athlete how to do his job...period

It's the equivalent of a fast-food McDonald's employee trying to tell a 5-Star Chef how to do his job.

Or a putt-putt golf player trying to tell Tiger Woods what club to use...

What if you went to culinary school and just wanted to work at McDonald's?

Guy is one of the best head coaches in NBA history coaching one of the best players of all time on one of the most successful franchises in history but guys on the RX know better.

It doesn't get any better than this.

Team manager not happy with his current deal, said to be holding out next season for more money. Brought her in as uniform washer/coach to put pressure for manager to re-up

lol yeah

If tomorrow Pop announced "We're hiring GTC08 as the defensive specialist" I'd probably be like hmm if Pop did it, must be a good move.

ehh all reporters ask stupid questions during the game regardless so just gimme the eye candy. Not like Solomon Wilcots or Steve Tasker is asking the coach better questions than Erin Andrews before halftime....

 

[gtc08]

i think i'll follow pop's direction xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Enfuego]

lol yeah

Pop could pretty much do whatever he wants and I'd agree with him. But, if a member of the RX suggested he do something else, I may think real hard about it.

If you think this is nothing more than a PR move I don't know what to tell ya. There's literally nothing she can teach NBA players. She'll be in charge of keeping stats and keeping the ballracks full. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but to make a case that Pop is making some strategic move because of her basketball skills or knowledge is ridiculous.

Do you know her personally or something, how do you know what her knowledge base or coaching abilities are?

You can teach the game without excelling at it on an NBA level, that isn't really up for debate.

No shit. Mike Leach didn't play a single down of college football yet he's been successful over and over again.

 

[NickPappagiorgio]

People are adverse to change, personally I dont think its that big of a deal. I hope she does well.

 

[seldomseen]

Congrats to her. This is someone who grew up playing the sport and grew up playing against guys. If the best coach in the nba thinks she can handle the job who are any of us to question him.

 

[ZJP6050]

lol at people thinking that the inferior female:male physical make-up is indicative of her knowledge of the game compared to any other ASSISTANT male coaches. i'm sure she has superior knowledge to a lot of other assistant male coaches in the league, some of you dudes sound like you're suppressed by pussy at home.

[Acebb]

She has no coaching experience at any level.

Great hire!

 

[packer2012]

I personally think it's ridiculous.

There is absolutely nothing beneficial this girl can tell or teach an NBA player...

Balls-on accurate Hache. Total publicity stunt....... bullshit..... pathetic.

And then.... on top of how blatantly ignorant the whole thing is...... we have to hear all the talking heads discuss it for hours.... days..... forever?
