I’m referring to the WNBA coaching carousel, which in the last few years has basically become a one-way thoroughfare from NBA benches to the lead seat in the W. Becky Hammon was the first and most prominent of these, but in the years since we’ve seen Nate Tibbets, Chris DeMarco, Natalie Nakase and Tyler Marsh, among others, all make the same move. But at some point, shouldn’t this street star
