Huffington Post: Hammon Becomes The First Female Coach To Win NBA Summer League Title
Becky Hammon continued to make history on Monday as she led the San Antonio Spurs to a NBA Las Vegas Summer League championship victory, becoming the first woman ever to do so.
Hammon earned another spot in the history books just two weeks ago when she became the first woman to serve as head coach of a NBA Summer League team. And that title is just an extension of her day job -- as an assistant coach on Gregg Popovich's team in San Antonio. Which, yes, when she was hired last August, she was named the first full-time female assistant NBA coach.

If there's any debate remaining as to whether Hammon can provide insight into the men's game, allow this performance to silence all of that. Many of Hammon's players emphasized that they see her as a valuable voice on the bench.
"She gives another perspective on the sidelines for us. She see some things that we don't see," Danny Green told NBA TV in an interview during Monday night's game.
