She granted a Zoom interview from Toronto where she and the San Antonio Spurs are preparing for tonight’s game against the Raptors.
When asked about her decision to take on the head coaching role, Hammon shared:
“This was the best spot for me and my family and an opportunity for me to sit in the big chair and be a head coach of a major professional sports league.
