Becky Hammon has been on the verge of NBA history for a few years now, as the clear frontrunner to become the league's first female head coach. The last thing she wants is for that status to be what gets her the job.
Speaking with the Associated Press, Hammon said she wants a team to hire her for her qualifications as Gregg Popovich's top assistant and a former All-Star player, not because it wants to make history:
“It’s huge and important. It’s something that can’t be (checking) the box,” the Spurs assistant told The Associated Press.
