Nancy Lieberman calls it "unparalleled" what her longtime friend and peer Becky Hammon has done taking her experience from an assistant for legendary San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich to a head coaching position in the WNBA.
Which is why Lieberman took issue with what she called women sniping at each other and "picking at people's money" when the newly named Las Vegas Aces coach's salary hit the headlines. Hammon is the first coach to exceed a $1 million annual salary, a massive deal that team owner Mark Davis insisted on to show there's value in the WNBA and the Aces can push it forward.
