WNBA sees wave of coaching changes after record season

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 and can take advantage of increased funding. Analysts suggest that the influx of resources allows teams to pursue high-profile coaching candidates from both professional and collegiate levels.
