What have you done for me lately? This is the proverbial question that hangs over every coach’s head, knowing that they are only as good as their last game. For the Liberty, a first-round exit in the WNBA playoffs was enough to part ways with Sandy Brondello, who led New York to the franchise’s first title just a year earlier. The casual cruelty of sports spares no one, not even a two-time WNBA champion coach.
Thank you Coach Sandy, for bringing the Liberty its first championship and leaving an everlasting impact on the franchise.🏆 pic.twitter.com/cpf0pUGuuo
