The long WNBA offseason has officially begun, and there will be more activity than usual this winter. Not only because of the upcoming expansion draft to fill out the Golden State Valkyries roster, but also due to the unusual number of coaching changes.
Seven franchises have parted ways with their coach thus far: The Atlanta Dream, Chicago Sky, Connecticut Sun, Dallas Wings, Indiana Fever, Los Angeles Sparks and Washington Mystics. It’s no surprise that group includes the five worst teams in the league last season.
Only the Fever have since hired a new coach. On Friday, they agreed to a deal with Stephanie White, who only just left the Sun and previously played for and coached the Fever. Six vacancies now remain.
