Becky Hammon made waves when she became the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs after Gregg Popovich’s ejection Wednesday. The world took notice.
While things didn’t go their way on the court Wednesday, the San Antonio Spurs made history in more important ways. “It’s a substantial moment,” Becky Hammon said to the press after becoming the first female head coach in a regular-season NBA game. In a moment we all knew would come eventually, Gregg Popovich was ejected after what he felt were missed foul calls against the Los Angeles Lakers.
