The #Hornets are rumored to be interested in Dawn Staley for their head coaching job. I’m doubtful they could ever get her to do it, but if she wanted to, I have 0.0% concerns about her having NBA players’ respect: pic.twitter.com/0GBkQscpyU

Suuuuuure
respectfully, Nichols being on Undisputed is bad for her & for the show in general (which is already on hard times lol)
People would most certainly clown us for this and I’m sure I’m gonna get downvoted to hell for this take, BUT
Dawn Staley is an exceptionally good coach. The Charlotte Hornets have done precisely fuck all since their inception. Like, what could we possibly have to lose with a hire like this? We already own the league record for the worst winning percentage in a season. I say it’s worth a shot if there’s mutual interest.
Colleges coaches have a great track record in the nba, right?
(X)
It doesn’t matter who the coach is right now we aren’t going to be good
Dawn Staley prob don’t even wanna coach us and I wouldn’t blame her.
The women’s college game and the men’s nba game are completely different. I don’t think a women’s college coach would be successful jumping right into a hc job in the NBA unless she had a shit hot team already firing on all cylinders. I think Staley would need to move to a lower coaching position and get the experience and familiarity with the NBA game before she could be a successful nba hc.
I would heavily doubt that Dawn will ever coach men’s basketball. The entirety of her career has been spent in the woman’s game and she’s incredibly passionate about growing that side of the sport
Source is the girl Jimmy fucked? OK
Why leave a winning team to come to the hornets smh
Dawn is a basketball savant and I feel like she could do very well as a head NBA coach. One look at her overall resume tells me this. While the NBA and women’s games are different I think the way Dawn carries herself would be an instant upgrade over what we have had coaching wise
Gonna be a long offseason…
this, and the G league assistant, are both publicity stunts and comical to me.
Rumored to be interested
Dawn won’t leave USC. Ray Tanner won’t let her. It’s his only success story.
Didn’t she just recently comment that she doesn’t want to coach mens ball?
