Kevin Pelton weighs in on issues of gender in coaching, and discusses what it will take to get more women coaching in the WNBA. Part of the responsibility, he says, rests with the media:

Potential coaching candidates really haven't been introduced to the public. Evaluating an assistant coach's ability to be a head coach is difficult at any level because such difficult skills are involved, but the media could do a better job of getting the word out about some of the better female assistant coaches in the league.

Meanwhile, the Coaching and Gender Equity Project recently released a report on gender equity in college coaching. (Hat tip, Phil at the Sports Economist.) Greg at the Sports Law Blog says that it's ludicrous to try to make coaching more family-friendly so that more mothers can coach.
