San Antonio Spurs assistant Becky Hammon will interview for the Milwaukee Bucks head coaching job, making her the first woman to interview for a top NBA bench job, The Washington Post has confirmed.
The news of Hammon’s interview was first reported by ESPN on Friday night.
Hammon, 41, has spent the past four seasons working as an assistant under Gregg Popovich in San Antonio. When she was hired in 2014, she was the first full-time female assistant coach in any of the four major American pro sports, and she coached San Antonio’s Las Vegas summer league entry to the league title the following summer.
