Thats just it. Lack of experience and working her way up the chain, like any man has to do. And be better than others to make it up the chain.
As an official at NCAA level, and I”ve called some of the summer camp NBA games in northern California, I’ve worked with NCAA women’s teams female coaches and a number of them are highly qualified to handle the NCAA level of play and that gender which in many ways is more difficult than the men. But when you consider the failed coaches, some just for the failure at the psychological aspect of the game with the players, most notable Magic Johnson with his very brief stint as skipper of the Lakers, it takes years of practice and learning to handle these temper mental overgrown children let alone figure out the plays to run and post game interviews so important to the league’s public relations.
So to put it in prospective, assistant coaching, coming from the WNBA players ranks, for less than four years is not a ticket to head coaching with the requirements needed, way too many not in the actual playing part of the game. You’re not in Kansas anymore Dorothy.
