Will the NBA's first female head coach be born?

"ESPN" quoted sources as saying on the 9th that Lindsey Harding (39), who leads the Stockton Kings, a G-League team under the Sacramento Kings, will challenge for the NBA coach position.

Harding will conduct a directorial interview with Charlotte Hornets, whose current managerial position is vacant.

The permission of the current team, Sacramento, has already been granted.

Harding played nine seasons in the WNBA as a former No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 WNBA Draft.

After retirement, he transformed into a leader. He coached the Philadelphia 76ers and Sacramento.

In June 2023, he took over as head coach of the Stockton Kings and won the G League Coach of the Year by leading him to the conference finals after recording 24 wins and 10 losses in the 2023-24 season.

He was recorded as the first female director to win the award.

Charlotte is looking for a new coach to lead next season as Steve Clifford pulls back from the front line at the end of the season.

ESPN reported that in addition to Harding, Denver Nuggets coach David Adleman, Sacramento coach Jody Fernandez, Boston Celtics coach Charles Lee and Phoenix Suns coach Kemin Young will participate in the coach interview.

There have been challenges to become the first female coach in the NBA. Becky Haman, who coached the San Antonio Spurs, was considered the closest person to that position.

In December 2020, when San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich was sent off during a home game against the Los Angeles Lakers, he took on the role instead. This was the first time in NBA league history that a woman served as a coach.  프라그마틱 슬롯 사이트

Haman later entered the interview as a coach candidate, seeking the NBA head coach position, but took over as head coach of the WNBA Las Vegas Aces in December 2021.
