The preseason victory over the Nuggets marked the first time that Hammon coached the regular team in the preseason, though she served the past two seasons as head coach of San Antonio’s summer league team.
“It’s an amazing opportunity for me,” Hammon told the press after the victory.
“But we’re a teaching program, and that comes directly from Gregg. So for him to give us this opportunity and the guys here a different voice, that’s what his coaching tree is kind of all about. It’s mentoring and bringing people along.”
“For me, [assistant] Will Hardy, coach [James] Borrego and Ime [Udoka], it’s a nice opportunity to get out there, hold the clipboard and kind of be in the action”, she continued.
