MINNEAPOLIS, MN – OCTOBER 9: Becky Hammon, honoree of the WNBA Top 20@20 ceremony presented by Verizon during halftime of Game 1 between the Minnesota Lynx and the Los Angeles Sparks during the WNBA Finals on October 9, 2016 at Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Okay, here’s the deal: Becky Hammon is an option for every coaching job in the world. Women. Men. Doesn’t matter. And she probably shouldn’t take any of them, not when the San Antonio Spurs sure look like they are grooming her to become the first woman to coach an NBA team. That’s about making history. But the idea of Hammon taking Loyd’s game to the next level, guiding Stewart toward championship glory, well, it would be nothing short of amazing.
