The New York Liberty have parted ways with head coach Chris DeMarco after a single season, according to reports from the New York Post.
The decision to fire DeMarco has prompted discussions about the team's future direction and the criteria for selecting their next head coach. Analysts are examining the responsibilities of General Manager Jonathan Kolb in the process and what the Liberty should prioritize in a new leader.
Considerations are also being given to the potential influence that star players, including Breanna Stewart, might have in the coaching search. The Liberty organization is reportedly weighing candidates that range from established names like Becky Hammon, Kara Lawson, and Dawn Staley to other less widely known individuals who could be a good fit for the team's needs.
