Report: Becky Hammon to become first woman to interview for NBA head-coaching job

The Milwaukee Bucks didn't spend their time actively searching for a head coach following the dismissal of Jason Kidd and promotion of Joe Prunty. They had a season to focus on and Prunty would be their coach for the duration.

Behind the scenes, though — as any company would do — the team started to catalog information and do its due diligence for a potential search for a full-time coach.

According to an ESPN report published on Friday night, San Antonio Spurs assistant coach Becky Hammon will interview for the team's head-coaching position.

The Bucks met with Hammon last year about the team's general manager opening, despite the fact that she had no front-office experience. She is the NBA's first female assistant coach and has been with the Spurs since 2014.
