WNBA Names Becky Hammon 2022 Coach of the Year Award

The WNBA announced that Becky Hammon has been named Coach of the Year for the 2022 season.

Hammon led the Aces to a 26-10 record, tying them with the Chicago Sky for the best record in the league. The Aces also won the 2022 Commissioner’s Cup, beating Sky 93-83 in July. Las Vegas earned the No. 1 seed after winning a tiebreaker over the Sky. Hammon is the first former player to win the award while on the sidelines in his debut season, and only the third former player to win the COTY award overall.

The ace coach became the second female NBA coach when she was sidelined as a Spurs assistant coach on coach Gregg Popovich’s coaching staff from 2014 to 2022. While on the Spurs coaching staff, she became the first female head coach of a Summer League team in 2015. That same season, the Spurs won the Las Vegas Summer League title. She also became the first woman to serve on an All-Star coaching staff.

After an offseason filled with interviews for high-profile NBA coaches and GM positions, Hammon decided to sign on as the Aces’ head coach and first million-dollar coach. She received advance offers and calls from the WNBA, including an offer from the Liberty that she almost signed with.

The Aces return to action on Sunday for Game 1 of the series against the Seattle Storm. The semifinal series features a record seven former No. 1 overall picks played between the Aces and Storm.
