Hammon could trade Spurs sideline for Gainesville with Flordia offer

Rumors started circulating early this week, first via Swish Appeal, that San Antonio Spurs assistant coach and former Stars player Becky Hammon was being considered as one of the top candidates to fill the University of Florida’s women’s basketball head coach vacancy.

Today, the Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Hammon is indeed considering leaving coach Gregg Popovich’s staff to take the lucrative offer the university is offering her.

Hammon being hired to Popovich’s staff made her an instant coach to watch, and with Pop entrusting her with summer league coaching duties, many feel she could be another coach on the rise in San Antonio’s ranks.
