CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Sky fired coach Teresa Weatherspoon after one season despite having two of the WNBA's most promising rookies.
The Sky confirmed the decision Friday, a day after two newspapers reported the move.
“After careful consideration, we have decided it is in the best interest of the organization to part ways with head coach Teresa Weatherspoon,” Sky co-owner and operating chairman Nadi Rawlinson said in a statement. “We are deeply appreciative of Coach TSpoon’s contributions to the Chicago Sky, and the energy and passion she brought to the head coaching role.
"We thank her for inspiring a competitive, resilient spirit across the team, synonymous with Chicago Sky basketball."
