Las Vegas Aces head coach Becky Hammon has secured her place in WNBA history as the second-fastest coach to achieve 150 career victories, reaching the milestone following Sunday’s 91-81 victory against the Golden State Valkyries.
Hammon accomplished this achievement in 205 games, combining both regular season and playoff victories during her tenure with Las Vegas. The only coach to reach 150 wins more quickly was Van Chancellor, who previously led the Houston Comets and achieved the milestone in 198 games. Hammon is currently in her fifth season leading the Aces.
“What stands out the most to me is how much I enjoy the process,” Hammon said. “We’re a process kind of team. If you go through the right process, you get good results. The results will be there.”
Under Hammon’s leadership, Las Vegas has captured all three of the franchise’s WNBA championships, winning titles in 2022, 2023, and 2025.
Aces star Jackie Young praised her coach’s approach, saying, “She’s a player’s coach. I’m super thankful for her. She really changed my career.”
Four-time MVP A’Ja Wilson shared similar praise for Hammon’s leadership style.
“I would run through a brick wall for Becky, as well,” Wilson said. “She instills so much power in us, so much confidence in us, and I think that’s one of the reasons why I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get her wins.”
