The Las Vegas Aces are on the verge of becoming one of the WNBA’s greatest dynasties.
While the Aces have an excellent roster, a large part of their success must be owed to their head coach, Becky Hammon.
Hammon has been fantastic for the Aces, and her direct yet positive coaching style has made her a fan favorite.
And during the Aces’ practice on Monday, prior to their Tuesday game against the Phoenix Mercury, Hammon called out WNBA rookie and Caitlin Clark’s former Iowa teammate, Kate Martin.
Las Vegas Aces head coach Becky Hammon gestures to players during the second quarter against the New York Liberty at Michelob Ultra Arena.
Per a Las Vegas Aces YouTube video, Martin was defending someone during the Aces practice with Hammon watching her intently.
“Good, that’s it. Good,” Hammon said to Martin.
“Hey, that’s a great job,” Hammon added, now addressing the entire team. “Kate jumped out, great. You give him one step here. Now it’s guarding space. You did your initial job, because you stopped that momentum from going North-South. Now it’s about guarding and keeping people in front.”
Martin has got to like earning her head coach’s praises.
