The Sacramento Kings have hired former WNBA coach Jenny Boucek as an assistant coach for player development, the team announced Friday.
The hiring makes Boucek one of two women currently on the full-time staff of an NBA team, along with San Antonio assistant Becky Hammon, who is in her fourth season with the Spurs and was the first woman to have a full-time coaching position in the NBA.
Boucek is expected to be alongside Kings coach Dave Joerger on the bench Friday in Dallas when the Mavericks host the Kings.
"Over the years, I've crossed paths with Dave several times," said Boucek, 43.
