The End of an Era: Liberty Coach Brondello Out After First-Round Exit
The New York Liberty announced on Tuesday that head coach Sandy Brondello would not be returning for the upcoming WNBA season. This news came just a few days after the defending champions were eliminated from the playoffs in the first round.
Brondello's Legacy
Brondello has been the Liberty's head coach since 2017, leading the team to the playoffs in each of her four seasons. She was also named the WNBA Coach of the Year in 2020 after guiding the team to a league-best 20-4 record. Despite her success, the Liberty have been unable to make it past the first round of the playoffs during Brondello's tenure.
What's Next for the Liberty
The Liberty will now begin their search for a new head coach, looking to find someone who can help lead the team to a deep playoff run. This change comes at a crucial time for the Liberty, as they will also have the first overall pick in the upcoming WNBA draft. With a talented young roster and a high draft pick, the new head coach will have a great opportunity to build a successful team in New York.
