The New York Liberty announced Tuesday they're moving on from head coach Sandy Brondello. "We would like to thank Sandy Brondello for her everlasting impact on the New York Liberty," general manager Jonathan Kolb said. This move comes only a year after Brondello coached the Liberty to their first WNBA championship, though their title defense didn't go according to plan. Las Vegas Aces head coach Becky Hammon was among those who criticized the move. Those are rare sometimes to get that mixture of qualities as a head coach."
