WNBA: Chicago Sky to name Tyler Marsh next head coach

Date:

Another WNBA head coaching vacancy has been filled.

The Chicago Sky are set to hire Tyler Marsh as the franchise’s next head coach, as Marsh’s agent, Klutch Sports’ Andy Miller, told ESPN’s Alexa Philippou, Andraya Carter and Bobby Marks on Saturday afternoon. The Athletic and Chicago Sun-Times have confirmed the hiring, although the team has not made an official announcement.

Marsh spent the last three seasons as an assistant coach with the Las Vegas Aces, focusing on player development for the 2022 and 2023 WNBA champions. Marsh, in particular, has been credited with Jackie Young’s improvement. He is the second coach to be plucked from Vegas head coach Becky Hammon’s staff this offseason, with the Golden State Valkyries having hired Natalie Nakase.

Marsh is expected to mold a successful Sky team around the tandem of Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso. With a lottery pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, Chicago will have the opportunity to add another talented player to their young core. Reese appeared to give her stamp of approval with a post on X/Twitter.
