Becky Hammon had known for some time that she was going to be coaching San Antonio's summer league team in Las Vegas.
When her phone blew up Friday, she knew the secret was out.
Hammon spoke out for the first time Saturday about the history-making move by the Spurs, who have given the former WNBA star player the chance to become the first woman who'll serve as a head coach in an NBA summer league. She'll lead San Antonio's entry in the Las Vegas league — the biggest of the three NBA summer showcases — starting next weekend.
