Yeah, and I know before you had mentioned that there were a number of coaches you were looking at that said these are, you know, black women, women who have been coming up or just coaches coming up in women's basketball that should be getting looks.
Yeah, Breanne January comes to mind as well.
And it's not even just like that it has to be women or black women.
It could also be males.
It's just like coaches that have been working their way up for years within the women's basketball system, whether that's college hoops or WNBA.
But there does seem to be a little bit of a recent trend of kind of looking completely outside of women's basketball.
And look, the goal when you're in franchise is to win, right?
It's to win.
And you can, as a player...
You respond well to any coach.
It doesn't matter if man, woman, black, white.
I'm not going to say that.
I'm asking.
Yeah, actually, so, I mean, understanding, like, what the lifestyle is, you know, being able to talk to a grown woman.
These aren't kids in college.
Like, there's an issue of...
You know, being able to connect and you may be a brilliant mind, but you might lose the locker room if like you can't get the message across.
You know, and a lot of people, you know, might have pointed to was the connection right for Coclanus, who is highly regarded.
And Dallas only lasted a season there just using that as a case study.
But, you know, so there might be something to be said about someone who understands what it's like to be in that locker room.
