Re: "attract" — a sly joke here? FYI, you do know what team she plays for, right? And I ain't talking about Russia.

She used to do some commentary with Al Trautwig on MSG before she got the Spurs gig.

She is from Big Sky Country. Could see eye-to-eye with President Zen. But she is part of an incredible organization right now. I agree with NYNY on this.

so you think that she would not leave for this opportunity? Of course she would. In a heartbeat.

Maybe, maybe not. Only she knows. But doubt she'd do it because she thinks she would "own" NY or "attract" FAs. That is more of my quibble with your take. Don't understand exactly what you mean.

And the larger point that NYNY made is that she knows both what NYC — the Garden specifically — and SA have to offer her as organizations and environments. Media climates are very different. But I don't know her enough to know what her career goals and priorities are.

Is that a good thing?

NBA head coach carries enough of its own pressure. Media frenzy is great for when you are selling something, not necessarily while building something, especially when success is not guaranteed. She also knows the organization and ownership.

As to the history making part, I'm sure she wants a shot as a HC some day, and she's has more coaching experience than fellow PGs Kidd or Fisher had. Just because she'd want the job, doesn't mean she'd want the drama. You can see that possibility right?

I think that the attention as well as her reputation would make NY a helluva lot more attractive than it is now with Phil being Phil and Rambis being just a stubborn dummy.

She has a higher probability of being success coaching for the Spurs and waaaaaay less pressure. We don't offer a winning situation currently. Which will immediately hurt her coaching record. Then we would have fans bashing her for not having a winning record. Then there will probably be some type of created drama from "sources" about how players don't respect her because she is a woman.

So if she were to evaluate NYs tendency to tear people down. To go with high possibility of drama and distractions created by "sources". To go along with a good possibility that her record may not start off so good. She could do major damage to her coaching career before she even really got started.

Its not worth it. If NY had a ready made team then it would be worth the shot.

This right here. Look at the situation with Rambis: he can't shake his W/L record as an HC. Look at Fisher: I haven't heard a peep about him being considered for any of the open HC positions (though Instagram makes him a special case). Look at Vogel: more success than the last 4-5 Knicks HCs and still on his ass at the whim of Larry Legend and the Pacer front office.

I think she could handle it if she wanted to. I'm just questioning why she'd want to considering where she is right now.

Really though, she would be putting herself in position to fail. Being the first Woman head coach is already putting herself in an up hill battle. Y add more on top of that by going to a team that isn't ready made.

because when an opportunity like this is offered you never know if it would come around again.
