Becky Hammon added another line to an already crowded resume on Monday night, and she did it on the road. The Las Vegas Aces routed the Toronto Tempo at Coca-Cola Coliseum, with Hammon picking her 135th career regular-season win in the process. That moved her past Richie Adubato and Pokey Chatman, who each finished with 134, and into sole possession of the 13th place on the WNBA’s all-time coaching wins list.

The league celebrated this milestone by posting it on their X page. What makes the climb notable is how fast Hammon reached this level. She took over the Aces in 2022 and reached this mark in only her fifth season. That stretch has produced three WNBA championships, in 2022, 2023, and 2025. Few coaches in any era have combined that kind of hardware in so short a window.

The win itself doubled as a showcase for why Las Vegas keeps climbing both leaderboards, coaching and otherwise. A’ja Wilson led the way with 26 points on 11-of-14 shooting, adding six rebounds and four assists. Jackie Young turned in a near triple-double of her own with 24 points, 12 assists, and four rebounds. The final margin, 109-83, was the Aces’ 11th road win of the season, the most in the league. It pushed Las Vegas to 18-7, keeping them second in the standings behind a Toronto team now on a three-game losing skid.

None of this looks like a team pacing itself. Eighteen wins in 25 games, many of them lopsided, suggest Las Vegas is playing for more than just a favorable seed. The next milestone on Hammon’s ledger is already close enough to see. Four more wins would move her past Fred Williams into 12th place. With a full slate of games still left before the postseason, that jump feels less like a question of if than when.

The mountain still ahead of her is a different story. Minnesota’s Cheryl Reeve sits atop the list with 385 regular-season wins, a total built over a far longer career. Even if Reeve stopped coaching today, Hammon would need roughly 250 more wins to catch her. At her current pace of about 27 wins a season, that gap alone represents nearly a decade of coaching.

Passing Reeve isn’t the kind of thing that happens in a single hot stretch. Climbing the list one name at a time, as Hammon has done since Monday, though is very much a possibility.

Possible WNBA Coaching Milestones Becky Hammon Could Still Reach This Season

With the number of games still left to play this season, Becky Hammon will almost certainly climb into 12th place on the WNBA’s all-time coaching wins list before the 2026 campaign comes to an end. Beyond that, there are also several other milestones that she still has a realistic chance of reaching this season.

First, Becky Hammon will enter the upcoming postseason with 25 playoff wins. That leaves her just three behind Sandy Brondello’s 28 playoff victories. If the Aces make another deep postseason run, Hammon would need just four more playoff wins to become the winningest head coach in WNBA playoff history.

Hammon already became the second-fastest coach to reach 150 combined wins, regular season and playoffs, earlier this season. But she is also on track to reach 150 regular-season wins at a historic pace. She currently sits at 135 regular-season victories. This means another 15 wins this season would make her the second-fastest coach in WNBA history to reach that milestone.

Perhaps the most impressive achievement of all would be another WNBA championship. If Becky Hammon leads the Aces to yet another title, she would secure her fourth championship as a head coach. That would tie her with Van Chancellor of the Houston Comets and Cheryl Reeve of the Minnesota Lynx. Both currently have the most championships in WNBA history.

Las Vegas gets a chance to add to all of it Wednesday, when the Aces travel to face the Washington Mystics before the league pauses for its All-Star break.
