Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 5089210, member: 7748"] SB coaching? "Sandy Brondello said, "I liked the second quarter." She should have. That's when New York won the game. The Aces were the better team for the other 30 minutes, but in the second quarter, New York exhibited why it was the best team in the regular season. The Liberty outscored Las Vegas 24-13. Stewart scored or assisted on 13 of those points, with the [I][B]strategy[/B][/I] of making the two-time MVP a facilitator paying off. " [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/41549363/wnba-playoffs-2024-game-2-liberty-aces-sun-lynx-results-happened[/URL] I know some view Liberty performance through a dark lens in which they win in spite of their coach. For those Brondello has only a negative impact and if the Liberty do in fact win it will be in spite of her. As a Mercury fan I fondly remember Brondello particularly in light of her successors. I would also guess franchises in Chicago and Atlanta would consider her to be an upgrade.As an all-time top 10 winning coach in the league she has bona fides and to repeat Phoenix would welcome her back with open arms and perhaps send the million dollar coach on his way to seek his fortunes in Chicago for Atlanta? Or more likely never again to hold a head coaching assignment. In any event the playoff stretch has been a delight particularly the semi final games. [/QUOTE]
