Apparently, the San Antonio Spurs have hired former CSU great Becky Hammon as an assistant coach.  She'll become the first paid female assistant coach for an NBA team.  Hardcore Husker Hoops fans might recall that Becky almost became a Cornhusker but Angela Beck recruited Megan Yedsena instead and Becky went onto greatness at Colorado State.

 

IIRC, she also became a Russian citizen when she got snubbed for our Olympic team.

 

Sorry no link.

 

Edited to add:  Smarter people than me, with better memories, have fact-checked me on the Megan Yedsena/Becky Hammon recruiting issue.  My memory was faulty.  It wasn't an either/or proposition as they were not in the same recruiting class.  Which actually makes Beck's decision not to offer Becky Hammon come across as even more of a colossal error on her part -- one of the best point guards of all time wanted to come play for you and you passed on her?

 

Anyway, I was in error.  I was still right that Becky Hammon wanted to be a Husker but wasn't offered.  But I was wrong to suggest it was a situation where Beck chose Meggan Yedsena instead.
