Casey Madden is one of the newest members of the Houston Rockets organization. In the process, she has become a part of one of the biggest stages in sports in America – the NBA playoffs. With her two years of experience as an assistant coach for the Denver Nuggets, John Lucas is now calling her to be his top assistant and player for the team. What does she bring with her to this new challenge?
Well, according to Casey Madden’s bio on the website of the sports management school that brought her to Houston, her athletic ability is ranked as the number one fit candidate for the sporting director position that is currently available in Houston. The school claims that it has successfully signed the likes of Scott Hamilton, John Lucas, and Mike Krzyzewski to three ten-year contracts. It is also worth noting that Casey is taller than the other mentioned individuals. In fact, she is listed as a 6′ 2″ player. This is the same height as former Oklahoma State Cowboy football player Lane Harris, who is currently on the practice squad for the Cowboys. However, the claim may be false since Sports Management students are not required to have an athletic background as a prerequisite to be considered for a sports management career.
What does all this mean to you? As a basketball fan, you need to know that height is not an issue when it comes to becoming a professional athlete in the National Basketball League or the National Football League. According to Madden, her height is not a reason for NBA teams to sign her. She feels that as an athlete, she should have the right to pursue the sports management career that she wants if that is what she really wants. If you are an athletic fan who wants to pursue a professional sports career but is having trouble boosting your height, consider the many heights in sports management that are available for women today!
