At the beginning of the new year, the Spurs' already weak teaching assistant group was once again shed of wool.
According to Shams, Spurs female assistant coach Becky Harmon is about to join the WNBA Las Vegas ace team as the team's head coach, and the two sides will sign a large contract for a period of 5 years, and the contract amount will create WNBA history.
Sister Harmon has finally taken a solid step on the road to her dream, in the past few years, the NBA reform has appeared more and more female assistant teachers, but no one can take away the crown of "the first female assistant teacher in the league" of Sister Harmon!
There is a saying that the coaching effect of Sister Harmon should be able to get a place in the NBA head coach, originally before this news came out, there were already some rumors about sister Harmon's succession after the retirement of Mr. Bobo.
After all, in the past few years, some familiar faces, graduated from the Spurs academy, such as the very familiar Uduka, is now the head coach of Lu Kai, who once pulled the old man's arm countless times to make him calm when the old man was angry, and now he is alone.
According to uncertain data, in all the teams in the league, there are people who have worked for the Spurs, including not only coaches, assistant coaches, but also scouts, and team management, and the Spurs have sent more than 70 excellent staff to the league.
And Sister Harmon is deeply rooted in the true biography of the old master, although she has gone to other teams for interviews, but this can not hide her own talent.
Speaking of which, Sister Harmon's experience, one of which was particularly outstanding in the WNBA battle, was previously a star player in the WNBA, playing 16 seasons in her career, the first 8 seasons with the New York Free Team, the last 8 seasons with the Silver Star in San Antonio, during which 6 seasons were selected to the WNBA All-Star Team.
Moreover, Harmon has entered the top ten in the history of total points in the WNBA, the top five in total assists, and has been named the top fifteen superstars in WNBA history, and becky Harmon's name is also among the previously announced 2022 Hall of Fame candidates.
She was already very good as a player, and Sister Harmon, who began to try the role of team coach, was even more handy, and after retiring in 14 years, she joined the Spurs coaching staff, served as the summer league head coach in 15 years, and won the championship that year.
Since then, Sister Harmon has begun to make a fuss in the "big", and after Bobo's grandfather has received two consecutive technical fouls and been expelled, it is often Sister Harmon who takes on the responsibilities of head coach.
Now in Brooklyn, the "giant" Mills, who has set off a bloody storm in the East and carried the Nets forward, once said to the media: "Harmon does not seem to be any different from Bobo, they seem to be my manager." ”
In 2016, because of the league's system, the All-Star coach was supposed to be Kerr, but because he couldn't be the same coach for two consecutive years, the Spurs coach who was the second best in the West that year, Popovich, served.
And Bobo's grandfather brought his own right-hand coach Sister Harmon, so Sister Harmon became the first female assistant coach at the All-Star Game.
In fact, in the past few years, Sister Harmon has also participated in the trial training of other teams every off-season, but every time she has missed it, as if everyone has expectations for her female identity on the one hand, and discriminates against her female identity.
Mr. Bobo once said to the media, "If Harmon were a man, she would have already taken a place in this alliance, and his strength is obvious to all." ”
In this off-season, Sister Harmon and Changsi Billups competed for the position of Blazers coach at the last minute, but in the final Blazers management, they would rather choose Billups, a new coach, than choose Sister Harmon, who has a wealth of coaching experience.
Sister Harmon may have long been ready to become the first female head coach of the four major leagues, but she always rubbed shoulders with opportunities, or that people's prejudices against women have always been deeply rooted, in the NBA, a patriarchal world, here is full of violent disputes, as well as blood, Sister Harmon's female identity is her lifeblood after all.
"I don't want to be in the news because I'm the first lead coach in NBA history — it's because being the head coach that the team needs to be in the news." Sister Harmon said to the media interview.
Although Sister Harmon did not become the first female coach in the NBA, she has already won the respect of fans, and the sky-high contract signed with the ace team has also proved her strength, and I hope that Sister Harmon's coaching career can get better and better!
