Tyler Marsh is the Chicago Sky‘s new head coach, ESPN reported Saturday, as another of Las Vegas Aces coach Becky Hammon’s assistants moves to take control of a WNBA team.
The Sky fired Teresa Weatherspoon in September after just one season, a move that Chicago rookie forward Angel Reese lamented on social media. The Sky leadership offered little explanation about that decision. In moving to Marsh, the Sky hopes he will bring some of the Aces’ formula for success with him.
Marsh will be the Sky’s fourth coach since 2023, when James Wade left the franchise midseason to become a Toronto Raptors assistant. Wade’s assistant Emre Vatansever moved into an interim role with Chicago but wasn’t retained after going 11-13 and seeing the Sky lose in the first round of the playoffs. Weatherspoon was hired in October 2023, then fired less than a year later.
Like Natalie Nakase, who was named coach of the expansion Golden State Valkyries on Oct. 10, Marsh spent the past three seasons on Hammon’s staff, winning WNBA titles in 2022 and 2023. Marsh was head of player development in Las Vegas and known for his ability to help players improve specific parts of their games.
The Sky, led by post players Reese and Kamilla Cardoso and guard Chennedy Carter, finished 10th at 13-27…
