On August 5, 2014, the San Antonio Spurs signed Hammon as an assistant coach, making her the first full-time female assistant coach in not only the NBA, but in any of the four major North American sports. A year later, the Rapid City, South Dakota native was named Head Coach of the team’s Summer League squad—the first female to hold this position as well. Hammon’s basketball pedigree speaks for itself, and the Spur’s signing her was no publicity stunt. After a prolific college career for the Colorado State Rams, she was the fifth alum to have their number retired. Hammond signed with the New York Liberty of the WNBA, despite going undrafted after her senior college season, where she played for eight seasons before moving to the San Antonio Stars for eight more. Over her 16-year career, she was selected to six WNBA All-Star teams, was twice First Team all-WNBA and in 2011 was selected as one of the 15 best WNBA players of all time! #womenshistorymonth #fempower #pioneers #breakthebarri...
