I’m not sure why that’s controversial. You’re not keeping anyone from playing or coaching. Plus, let’s be perfectly blunt, NBA players are notoriously very unwoke when it comes to attitudes towards women. You might have guys publicly say the right things, but in a locker room, all bets are off.I say this all the time when I watch women's college softball and basketball. Let the women coach and officiate the women, let men coach and officiate the men.
But a lot of them at least played in the NBA, that gives them some degree of respect.Very few pro players become good coaches in any sport. Most are guys who spent those years learning the game and working their way up the coaching ranks
My good buddy had a German Shepard. Great dog but every time they would leave for a day it would get into their newborn's diaper bin and destroy a diaper creating a mess when they got home. I would always tell him that you cannot fight 35,000 years of evolution (far longer actually). He never got the dog fixed so if he did get out of his fenced yard he was gone. You cannot fight instincts. Lol.I’m not sure why that’s controversial. You’re not keeping anyone from playing or coaching.

The response to this is always “so a woman could never be a man’s boss?” No, it’s just that sports are a unique situation. There’s an element of physicality & strength that’s required in order to demand respect.My good buddy had a German Shepard.

Having women around NBA and NFL teams is a frigging joke from a couple perspectives. One, they are not qualified (there are 1,000 more qualified coaches) and two they have zero street cred (I think you said that). The two I know of in the NFL are at least lesbians so the guys cannot poach even though a couple will probably still try. Lol. I did see the one for the Browns just got a DUI. Wonder if she keeps her job?
I'm all for fair anything as long as the person can do the job. I will call anyone whatever the F they want to be called. I will respect you and as long as you respect me. But there was a reason women did not serve on the front lines in the military. 99% of women cannot physically do what an average man can. We are different. We have physically different bodies and different hormones running around. We think differently. This notion that women can do anything is BS. They can do most anything but there is a line.
Same with transgender. You can identify as a f$%&ing horse for all I care. But physically you are still a man or a woman so do not expect me to acknowledge you as a horse when it matters. Weird times man. Really weird times.

I just said a woman could be a man’s boss, just not in sports. And the reverse is also true.and it is a wonder you are single.
Sexist pig.
Seems like you feel threatened that a woman could actually teach a man something in sports.....I just said a woman could be a man’s boss, just not in sports. And the reverse is also true.
Pro athletes? No, there’s nothing they could teach them. That’s just being honest, none of them played in the League. Becky Hammon never had to post up on a 7 footer, or guard someone like Doncic who can post up and shoot the 3. And I don’t think a male coach could teach a female player much either. The style of play in both leagues are very difft, I’m not sure how you can coach anyone w/o having played in them.Seems like you feel threatened that a woman could actually teach a man something in sports.....

Did your momma diddle you as a kid and that's how you have such a poor impression of women.Pro athletes? No, there’s nothing they could teach them.

How is it a poor impression? I keep saying men shouldn’t coach women for the same reason. Unless you played in the League, you can’t relate to the players.Did your momma diddle you as a kid and that's how you have such a poor impression of women.
So sexist.How is it a poor impression? I keep saying men shouldn’t coach women for the same reason. Unless you played in the League, you can’t relate to the players.
That’s my opinion. It’s not that women are less than, it’s just as a coach you have to be able to communicate and to communicate effectively, you have to share the same experiences as your players.So sexist.
Men should not coach women¿. That Elder education failed you
So women cannot communicate with men, and men cannot with women.That’s my opinion. It’s not that women are less than, it’s just as a coach you have to be able to communicate and to communicate effectively, you have to share the same experiences as your players.
Not when it comes to sports. Again, how can a man coach softball if he’s never played at the competitive level the girl’s have?So women cannot communicate with men, and men cannot with women.
Got it.
Thanks for the gender lesson.
I'm sure you make Elder and your parents proud.
I will have to tell my buddy that. He was just COY in the conference. He needs to quit coaching.Not when it comes to sports. Again, how can a man coach softball if he’s never played at the competitive level the girl’s have?
I’m talking about higher levels, college & the pros.I will have to tell my buddy that. He was just COY in the conference. He needs to quit coaching.
Our HOF HS football coach never played football. Hmmm. Wonder how that was possible.
Does anyone here even watch women's sports?So sexist.

It’s still pretty boring even when you do have a relative playing.Does anyone here even watch women's sports?
I mean if you have a daughter or sister, or some relative who plays, then of course.
Other than that, it's pretty boring.
But at the same time, I’m not sure how a former NBA player could communicate with players in the WNBA. I admit, I don’t watch any WNBA, but from what I’m to understand, it’s more reliant on passing & spreading the court, where the NBA is focused on athleticism & physicality.I have to agree with Omar on this one. The NBA is big on “street credibility” and rep. Hammon can never get those things in the eyes of most players. Not going to happen. The world might be getting softer, but I don’t think the hearts and minds of most NBA players are softening that much.
True, but you gotta goIt’s still pretty boring even when you do have a relative playing.
Dirty sobs will watch volleyball and softball because the women objectify themselves with their uniformsDoes anyone here even watch women's sports?

That’s true for Volleyball, not so for Softball. It’s funny bc I’m not sure there’s any reason to wear those shorts at least not that tight.Dirty sobs will watch volleyball and softball because the women objectify themselves with their uniforms
You see what they are wearing in softball nowadays? Damned near yoga pants they are so tight.That’s true for Volleyball, not so for Softball. It’s funny bc I’m not sure there’s any reason to wear those shorts at least not that tight.
I haven’t, but a lot of those girls are beefy, so that’s not a great look.You see what they are wearing in softball nowadays? Damned near yoga pants they are so tight.
Oh no...the first basemen/catchers...yeah, some of them are on the "big bone" side but many of the pitchers and positions players...............I haven’t, but a lot of those girls are beefy, so that’s not a great look.
This contributed nothing to the conversation.Does anyone here even watch women's sports?
