Because the future best player to ever grace the Blazers Uni is in his prime? :dunno: Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying don't do it, just at least something one would assume to be considered.

I'd lay good odds she'd get more out of our players than Stotts.

So many athletes look up to their moms for everything. Having a strong woman in charge would bring out the best in many.

Lillard raised by mom, moved her here to be with him. I'm telling you, the team that hires a strong woman as head coach will have a leg up

Well let's just grab some assistant coach from college out of the sky then because "why not?" Your reasoning is lacking substance.

So is hiring a retread because that's what's always been done the way to go?

This actually makes some serious sense. Very good point MM. As was pointed out earlier, the status quo isn’t exactly paying dividends. Maybe it’s time to try a whole new approach.....

I don't recall ever saying that. Can you show me the post where I made that comment? Wasn't Alvin Gentry a retread? Wasn't Nate McMillan a retread? Mike D'Antoni a retread? There is no correct answer but in the case of Becky Hammon she has zero experience of being a head coach other than a handful of games in summer league. Inexperience and having to overcome the obstacle of being a female in a mans profession isn't an easy task and now isn't a time to experiment. A team at the bottom can maybe take a chance but I wouldn't with where the Blazers are at. If it fails it would be a waste of a couple years and could set us back.

Steve Kerr came from the booth
Phil Jackson, Erik Spolstra, Gregg Popovich all won titles with their first head coaching job.

Brad Stevens coached Butler until Danny Ainge signed him as Boston's head coach. Currently, there are some intriguing head coaches in the college ranks, such as Villanova's Jay Wright and Virginia's Tony Bennett.

So now you are equating Hammons with championship coaches?

Kerr took over a loaded team

Spoelstra was also an assistant for 11 years.

Popovich was an assistant for 5 years and took over a team with an injured David Robinson, tanked and got Duncan

Jackson took over a team that was in the ECF and had the GOAT and top 50 player of all time.

I would much rather go that route than take a chance on the first female head coach ever. Maybe Hammons will be good, but the Blazers aren;t in a position to take on that risk at this stage. If I were a Sacramento, Phoenix, Orlando, Memphis etc. then maybe.

And let’s don't forget Pat Riley......straight out of the broadcast booth and handed a loaded team. Actually, he was the very first......but all that said, I think Hammond has at least as good of a chance at succeeding as any of the current college coaches that were named. Maybe more so based on her exposure to the pro game and the differences that entails. I just don’t see gender as being an indicator of success or failure.....

These 2 antennas got married last week. The wedding wasn't that good, but the reception was magnificent

So then you must have thought my post about hiring Lillards mom as serious? Sorry buddy, that's on you not me.You're working way to hard to find an argument.

He went from being a touted college coach Boston College and at Providence to coaching the Celtics and failed .....I was saying great college coaches don't always succeed in the NBA...he was my example.

Yes but what does that have to do with Hammon?

She's unproven as an NBA head coach...might not have anything to do with it...Patino was an assistant with the Knicks for a short spell too....I think my point was simple and clear....she might not be Brad Stevens level or she might but I don't think it's without risk hiring a rookie coach with only college coaching success.

Yeh, it looks like it is not gonna happen, and as a result my fan interest has dropped to maybe it's lowest in 40 years. I mean, where is the hope?

That's where I was a year ago, when I hardly watched the Blazers in the playoffs. Borrring.

So in September, I looked for a new team and followed the Utah Jazz for a couple of weeks. Exum went down, apparently for the season (and later Gobert). I noticed that they have a lot less talent than the Blazers, but a better coach. The Stotts style is more exciting (and dumb). So I returned to the more entertaining Blazers, which was inevitable anyway. It was just a little show of rebellion.

Now the Jazz are doing great. I am a double loser. What else is new.

If they had good ideas, yes. For years I've generally been of the mind that we should be looking for new coaching talent, rather than recycling through the current pool of mediocre talent.

Any names in particular?
