It’s early days in the Raptors’ search for a new head coach, but the rumours on potential candidates are already plentiful.
Becky Hammon in particular has generated a ton of interest from fans and media after it was reported that the Raptors will interview the respected long-time NBA assistant who went on to lead the Las Vegas Aces to the 2022 WNBA championship in her first year as head coach.
The Star’s Doug Smith wrote that Hammon is the best coach for the job.
While on site in Vegas to reveal the Aces’ new facility, Hammon was asked about the Raptors coaching rumours and how she manages that potential distraction with her players.
