Is she the first head coach of a professional mens team?

(A manager in European soccer is typically more what a North American would call a head coach, for those who might not know this. Although soccer managers generally play a big part in choosing players for the team too.)

EDIT: Google gave me Theresa Phillips, who coached mens Div I NCAA. Not professional sports though.

EDIT2: And Stephanie Ready, who was an assistant coach for the Greenville Groove of National Basketball Development League (which I've never head of).
