After a disappointing elimination in the first round against Mercury, Liberty decided to separate from his trainer Sandy Brondello, in office from 2022. At the press conferenceThe team’s general manager, Jonathan Kolb, explained that his team needed “innovation and evolution”.

Therefore, with this philosophy, the New York franchise launched a search for a new coach with an emphasis on those who have already been in the NBA, as reported. The Athletic. Among them we find Lindsey Harding, JJ Redick’s assistant in the Lakers, but most of all the G-League coach of the year in 2024, when she was at the head of the Stockton Kings, a franchise associated with the Sacramento Kings.

Soon the air of Paris in New York?

The Liberty also reached out to Rio Grande Valley Vipers coach Joseph Blair, as well as Will Weaver, who worked for Paris Basket during the 2022-23 season before being an assistant with the Nets and now advisor to Charles Lee at the Hornets.

Sonja Raman, who was Sandy Brondel’s assistant in New York, is also a candidate for the position. However, she has also spoken with the Storm and could go to Seattle to replace Noel Quinn as well relieved of duty at the end of this 2025 season.

Finally, the Liberty front office asked the Mercury if it was possible to speak with Nate Tibbetts’ assistant, Christy Toliver, who briefly took over the team during the fourth game of the VNBA finals after the dismissal of the Phoenix coach.

“I think she did a good job and she’s ready,” the Mercury coach said about Christy Tolliver. “I think it’s like any job: the interview is one thing, but the day-to-day approach is another. The organization has to give her a chance, I think she deserves it.”
