SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio Spurs assistant coach Becky Hammon has been offered the University of Florida women’s head basketball coaching position, according to The Vertical.

Sources tell The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski that Hammon is considering a lucrative offer by Florida, but the decision will be difficult because she wants to stay on a path to become the first female head coach in NBA history.
