Los Angeles (AFP) - The Sacramento Kings have become the latest NBA team to hire a woman as an assistant coach, appointing Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman to work alongside head coach George Karl, reports said Friday.
Lieberman will be only the second female assistant coach with an NBA team following the appointment of Becky Hammon at the San Antonio Spurs last year.
The 57-year-old said on Twitter late Thursday she was "honored to be a Sacramento King" ahead of a formal announcement expected next week.
