I have no problem with her advancement. If Popovich is on board, she’s a strong addition to the Spurs team and she is likely deserving of all future opportunities.
Now, watch ESPN pivot to women’s issues in sports just as Hillary(!) enters the fray. Right on queue.
I could see her getting a shot at a head coaching job after several more years learning under Popovich, but there are many more qualified people out there now. If anyone gave her a head coaching job now it would be a gimmick based solely on her gender.
Is she still a Russian citizen? She became one in 2008 to play on the Russian Olympic Women’s Team. To me that’s a low thing to do.
Who? :)
