| | rantnrave:// Will BECKY BONNER be the NBA's first female GM? B/R MAG's HOWARD BECK profiles her as part of a story on the pioneer women getting jobs in teams' front offices. The NBA's newfound surge of women execs took long enough. The SPURS hired BECKY HAMMON as an assistant coach in 2014. There's Bonner and several others across the league. When will one of them break the glass ceiling? This question has been asked around baseball for years. Just as the GM pool has grown more homogenous. White and IVY LEAGUE are the prereqs for the job. MLB is trying to change that. NBA GMs are more diverse, barely. But it's not as much about the men being hired as the men doing the hiring. It'll take an owner willing to buck tradition. The NBA is progressive -- from its players to its commissioner -- but it hasn't taken this step yet. ADAM SILVER wants a female head coach soon, he probably wants a female GM too. But he's not the one doing the hiring... New contender for most interesting man in football... Jerseys aren't just for players. They pop up in the stands, in bars, and on the runway. They are culture, and couture. Whose jersey are you wearing? SportsSET: "The Sports Jerseys We Love (and Hate)"... Age ain't nothing but a number. The year of BRADY, LEBRON, FEDERER, and SERENA... Will the new tax bill drive down salaries for college coaches and administrators? If schools start splurging it'll get even more interesting. Just how much do they have to spend on everything but the players?... Who does your team's owner call for advice?... Free MEEK MILL... A $500,000 flub... Caption this... RIP DICK ENBERG. Oh my... RIP JOHNNY BOWER. | | | - Mike Vorkunov, curator |
