bbc.com/sport/basketball/68715301

Quick Glance: Irish Basketball Team Refuses Replay of Final 0.3 Seconds

The Irish basketball team Portlaoise Panthers will decline to replay the final 0.3 seconds of their match against Limerick Sport Eagles as it would go against the spirit of the sport.

Despite Limerick beating Portlaoise 80-78 on March 23, their opponents appealed the result citing a foul call preceding the Eagles' winning free throws that was awarded after the buzzer.

Basketball Ireland mandated the teams to replay 0.3 seconds of the Division One game.

However, the Panthers stated that replaying a fraction of a second in the quarter-final would violate the 'values of the game of basketball' and they would refuse to do so even if instructed.

Hornets to interview Lindsey Harding, Jay Larranaga for vacant head-coaching position, per report

cbssports.com/nba/news/hornets-to-interview-lindsey-harding-jay-larranaga-for-vacant-head-coaching-position-per-report/

Quick Glance: Charlotte Hornets Interview Lindsey Harding for Head Coaching Role: Insider

The Charlotte Hornets have been given the green light to engage with Lindsey Harding, the coach of the G League’s Stockton Kings, for the head coaching position in Charlotte, as confirmed by a league insider on Monday.

If selected, Harding would make history as the first woman to lead an NBA team as head coach. Recently, Harding was honored as the NBA G League Coach of the Year for guiding the Stockton Kings to an impressive season record of 24-10.

At 39 years old, Harding was the top pick by the Phoenix Mercury in the 2007 WNBA Draft. She made headlines last year as the sole female head coach in the NBA or G League, debuting against the Santa Cruz Warriors in November 2023.

Despite the scarcity of women in NBA coaching roles, an increasing number are excelling as player development coaches or serving as second or third assistants.
