Over half of WNBA head coaches fired after record season
wcpo.com —
Over half of the WNBA's head coaches have been fired or parted ways with their teams since the end of the 2024 season. This includes notable dismissals like Connecticut Sun's Stephanie White and Indiana Fever's Christie Sides. The changes come despite a record year for the league, which saw significant growth in viewership. Teams are now looking to hire coaches who better fit their future plans, reflecting a shift in management strategies. In addition to head coaches, the Las Vegas Aces also did not renew the contract of general manager Natalie Williams. This trend indicates a broader restructuring within the league as teams adapt to increased financial resources and expectations.
