WNBA Team New York Liberty Hiring Warriors Assistant Chris DeMarco as Next Head Coach
The New York Liberty coaching search is now over and complete. WNBA team the New York Liberty are hiring Golden State Warriors assistant Chris DeMarco to be their next head coach. DeMarco is the longest-tenured person on Golden State’s staff. The Liberty want to win more championships and DeMarco is the coach they believe can help bring their goal to fruition.
On September 23, news broke that the New York Liberty would not be renewing the contract of head coach Sandy Brondello. Thus, ending her time with the franchise and causing a replacement search to commence. Brondello seemingly had support from her players, but was still removed after just four seasons. Apparently, at some point the coaching and leadership vision had become misaligned. Hence, New York trying to find a coach this offseason that will hopefully be more on the same page.
Nevertheless, in interview DeMarco left the Liberty organization extremely impressed. Thanks to his experience, championship pedigree and knowledge of coaching in high-stakes games. The New York franchise got a taste of winning and now possesses a strong desire to get back to being on top.
New York won a title in 2024 and came up short in the postseason the very next year. The New York Liberty’s 2025 playoff run ended in the first round with a 2-1 series loss to the Phoenix Mercury. The Liberty lost the deciding Game 3 by a score of 79-73, ending their bid to repeat as champions. Chris DeMarco and Golden State has had success in the playoffs winning four championships. Such victories no doubt played a big role in the Liberty’s hiring of DeMarco.
