During his tenure as coach and general manager of the Sky, James Wade never entertained questions about whether the franchise needed to separate the roles. He was adamant that he enjoyed coaching the roster he was tasked with constructing.
After his resignation to take an assistant coaching position with the Raptors, the realities of the dual role are indisputable. The fact that the Sky is the last WNBA or NBA team operating with the dual coach/general manager role is not a badge of honor. It’s a signal of incompetence.
