NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said he is committed to seeing a woman become head coach of an NBA team. In an interview with ESPN’s Ohm Youngmisuk on Tuesday, Silver said the NBA needs to do more to “accelerate the move toward a woman being a head coach in the league.”And in 20 years they'll be wondering why the NBA gets WNBA numbers. I have to admit, I really don't care, though. I haven't watched any basketball since Michael Jordan retired the second time. It's of zero interest or relevance to me.
Silver said he would make it his responsibility to see a woman become a head coach while he is commissioner.
“I think it is on me to sort of ensure that it happens sooner rather than later,” Silver said. He added that he hopes to see more women officiating in the NBA as early as next season.

The NBA, converged
A sport invented by white men is now run by Jewish owners, played by black men, and will be coached by white women.

I love how they no longer bother to even pretend that adding women will be good for the institution. Just we need more women, why because we do.
Well which low-class post-wall spinsters wouldn't want exclusive access to some of the biggest wangs in the country?
There's nothing more nauseating than watching some white office worker dweeb trying to bond with a black guy by talking about basketball.
Me too, last BB game was Jordan hitting the last second jump shot versus Utah. No interest, the NBA doesn't want me and I have no interest in them.
Basketball is a boring sport imo. Fun to play, boring to watch. So their slow death is just fine.
Unfortunately, I have to put up with this dreck at the gym, as the only thing they show in the cardio room is ESPN.
Back during the 80's, it was a watchable game with definable rules and players who understood the fundamentals. Now, it's pretty much the same thing you'd get at the average schoolyard, and takes a half hour to play the last 5 minutes of the game.
Hockey, baseball, auto racing. Pretty much the only sports that haven't been thugged out. Gee, I wonder why?
I always pull for the players who don a Kentucky uniform to do well in the NBA if that is their goal, but I won't be watching them as I don't care about the NBA. So a heap of thanks and good luck former Wildcats. Via con Dios.
(((adam silver))) interviewed by "Ohm Youngmisuk." heh.
I stopped watching the NBA after the 2005 season. Since that time, the only game I watched in full was one for which I was given tickets to a skybox. I haven't watched on TV at all.
In the name of fairness, why don't we also see to it that a blind person be allowed to fly a jetliner?
And in 20 years they'll be wondering why the NBA gets WNBA numbers.
I have a family friend who used to be an NBA player in the late fifties/early sixties. These days he only watches WNBA. I asked him about that and he said, "these women are the only ones who know how basketball is supposed to played."
Presumably he is referring to some archaic concept like team-work.
I wonder if Rome's gladiatorial games also entered a period of becoming caricatures of prior times?
There seems to be a rule somewhere requiring the owners & managers of all institutions to destroy their products from the inside during the final days of any major trend.
I haven't watched the NBA since the Boston Celtics were able to put 5 white men on the floor at one time (1986) and embarrass the whole league of Zoo looz .And after Tom Brady retires i won't be watching them trying to create the dark version of him ,while casting away white men in their zeal to accomplish this goal.
Men's basketball playbooks have entire schemes women can't execute and can't practice. If you can't execute them how can you possibly know how to adjust the scheme?
This is like taking a local youth league - not even high school - football coach and "giving them a shot" with an NFL team.
Who really cares. The game already sucks and this will just continue its death spiral. As analogy, look how SJWs have destroyed ESPN. I stopped watching it many years ago. At least college football, for the time being, is still enjoyable.
Yup. The WNBA is good, solid, team-based fundamental basketball. And it's DAMNED BORING.
They know how to pass because they HAVE to. They have no explosive speed. No jumping ability. No muscle for outside shooting.
I would be very surprised to find they use the same weight BALL as the NBA.
The best WNBA YouTube clip I ever found was their "ALL-STAR GAME". Two dykes went up for UNCONTESTED dunks on both ends of the court and missed both. The second got her own UNCONTESTED rebound (?!WTFF?!) and tried again - uncontested, AGAIN - and finally got it in.
The crowd erupted. I wanted to vomit.
The teams and crowds are full of "normal"-hating dykes. So many short, fat and ugly broads in the crowd... so many mullets... I wish I could forget attending that one game...

So which lucky city will be the first to wind up with the shittiest team in the NBA?
Incidentally, how many of the hardcore hood rats who are the NBA's Allstars are going to hold any respect whatsoever for "dat bitch" who pretends to be their coach? (Hint: "zero" is too generous of an estimate).
Looking forward to seeing the first NBA player file sexual harassment charges against his female coach after she tries to terminate him or simply gives him too much time on the bench. With the female propensity for middle-aged mudsharking, it might even be true.
“accelerate the move toward a woman being a head coach in the league.”
Stop being such a pussy, Adamski, and just appoint a fat black lesbian in a niqab as a head coach. The Knicks would probably be the best team to demonstrate your devotion to Facebook likes over sound business practices, being in super progressive New York and all (Golden State would be even better, but I doubt even you have the balls to cut the league's best team off at the knees).
Any NBA team with a female head coach will need a backup male coach to do the actual ... you know ... coaching.

Mythic truth at its finest.
Insert "women" = *DESTRUCTION*.
The "equation".
I got free tickets to the Old WNBA Charlotte Sting. My wife was quite taken by all the pretty Rainbow stickers on the cars til I told her what it meant.
From Sailer: The More Money Goes Into Women's College Basketball, the More Men Are Coaches.
The most successful coach in women’s college basketball is of Connecticut, which has won 111 consecutive games and is seeking its fifth consecutive national title — and 12th over all. In the second semifinal of the N.C.A.A. tournament on Friday, UConn will face Mississippi State, also coached by a man, Vic Schaefer.
As more money and higher salaries came into college sports, men became increasingly interested in coaching women’s teams. (In October, Auriemma signed a five-year contract extension that will pay him at least $13 million).
How 'bout that? The NBA is whining about women in coaching, and colleges are hiring more men to coach the women's teams. Between the pay and the job stability, good coaches would rather coach women's college teams than in the NBA.
>Between the pay and the job stability, good coaches would rather coach women's college teams than in the NBA.
Maybe coaching a bunch of dykes isn't that much different than coaching men, other than the limited ability of the former.
"Between the pay and the job stability, good coaches would rather coach women's college teams than in the NBA."
Making a virtue out of necessity. No NBA team is interested in even the most successful women's college coach, especially when many successful men's college coaches crash and burn in the NBA. these coaches have nothing special to offer the pros.
"Maybe coaching a bunch of dykes isn't that much different than coaching men, other than the limited ability of the former."
Auriemma would probably loudly declare different, but his bullshit wouldn't work with male pros, who hold all the cards. Besides, none of these coaches are innovative, they're just good recruiters, a skill which amounts to exactly dick in the NBA.
Men's basketball playbooks have entire schemes women can't execute and can't practice. If you can't execute them how can you possibly know how to adjust the scheme?
How many male coaches (other than former players) could execute them? You don't have to be able to actually do something to know how it's done and how to teach it. Remember the old saying: them as can, do; them as can't, teach.
Not to deny that a female NBA head coach would be a trainwreck--it just wouldn't be for that reason.
