The San Antonio Spurs announced the hiring of 16-year WNBA veteran Becky Hammon as an assistant coach. Hammon will become the first female assistant in the NBA.
“I very much look forward to the addition of Becky Hammon to our staff,” said Spurs Head Coach Gregg Popovich. “Having observed her working with our team this past season, I’m confident her basketball IQ, work ethic and interpersonal skills will be a great benefit to the Spurs.”
Great move by a great organization.
