>Hammon said that during interviews for head-coaching opportunities in the NBA, teams mentioned to her 'You've only been in San Antonio, and you've never been a head coach.' She said Mark Davis told her he wanted her to be a head coach right now.
>Becky Hammon said initially she had no intentions of leaving the NBA, but in talking further with Aces president Nicole Fargas and owner Mark Davis about future plans for the organization and for the WNBA, she could not pass up the opportunity in Las Vegas.
>Becky outlined the fact that she’ll be essentially pulling double-duty over the next few months, being involved during the WNBA free-agency period and putting her staff together, all while fulfilling her coaching duties in San Antonio.
>Hammon on majority of WNBA coaches now being women: "It matters because representation matters ... I think once we can start peeling back the layers of society and what is viewed as (a leader) ... we can start hiring people based on what they bring to the table...
>"There are so many great women coaches out there who should be leading their own teams and given those opportunities. We have never had these press conferences when it came to a man leading a women's team, but there are all these conversations about women leading a men's team."
>"These are quality coaches, period. Take off any other label. They are great coaches, period, and quite frankly, I've been watching the WNBA for a long time and stealing all their plays for a while.
>"(WNBA coaches) have great basketball minds, and they are 100 percent invested in what they do, and they are the best at what they do. And they should be paid as such, and they should be rewarded with these positions."
>More Hammon: "I hope this trend (more women getting opportunities) continues . It's important for little girls to see that, but it's also important for little boys to see that. Because if we're going to talk about changing people's minds, you have to change it generationally."
I don’t think Mark Davis is getting enough credit for his decisive decisions at every critical point in this crazy season. Every negative influence and destructive character was eliminated by him, but his decision, at every and earliest opportunity. Just like Al would have done. Thank you Mr. Davis.
I’d like honest opinions on what you think can be fixed from this point forward.
My opinion is keep Mayock and somewhat keep the same coaching staff with a couple tweaks. Keep Carr but be aware of who can replace him in about 2 years. There’s a ton more I can think of but I’m curious of everyone’s thoughts.
Please Mark hire some good lawyers and find a way to sue the league over this. We need to expose what they are hiding in those emails. This was the final straw. One time too many. This is not about Gruden anymore forget him. This is war - burn it down! Burn it all down!

I haven't seen anyone talk about this yet, and if there is already another post about it lmk. But when Mark was asked what due diligence he was doing and why Gruden coached the Bears game he said:
"I have no comment. Ask the NFL, they have all the answers."
Definitely a lot of salt in the air.
