Raptors going to interview Becky Hammon for coach. I know she was an assistant coach in SA, but I don't like the idea for a couple reasons. WNBA isn't nearly the calibre of NBA, so would her skills as coach be as fast thinking as the mens game? I personally don't think so. Secondly, being the trailblazer certainly makes headlines, but if things don't work out early on does anyone have the ability to terminate her or does she get more rope than necessary because of the obvious? I know it's a controversial statement but it's the reality. With a team looking to develop talent this could be one of their most important hires for years to come. They have to get it right. If she's the right person so be it but I'm hesitant to be the trailblazer in this case, because I don't think she would be the best candidate.
