Nancy Lieberman and Becky Hammon became the first female coaches in certain divisions of men’s basketball. This was made possible by
A) the creation of the WNBA.
B) the creation of Title IX.
C) the NBA’s decline in coaches.
D) the NBA’s increase of new teams.
The correct answer is B) the creation of Title IX.
Title IX is a federal law enacted in 1972 that prohibits discrimination based on sex in any educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. This law helped increase opportunities for women in sports, including coaching roles in various divisions of men’s basketball, enabling figures like Nancy Lieberman and Becky Hammon to break barriers as coaches.
