Grading New Head Coaches in the WNBA

This season in the WNBA, there are seven new head coaches making their debut (not counting Stephanie White, who has held that title before at the Connecticut Sun ). Some of those individuals and their respective teams are faring better than others. So, one month into the 2025 season, Zena, Ben, and Sabreena sit down to discuss these coaches their programs, their backgrounds, their unique styles and to take stock of whos meeting expectations, whos beating expectations, and whos missing them altogether. Plus, the crew discusses Ariel Atkins comments about Angel Reese during the Chicago Skys post-game press conference Tuesday night, following their loss to the New York Liberty as well as Reeses on-court performance. 00:00 Intro 02:29 Crew discusses Ariel Atkins' comments about Angel Reese 17:26 Beating expectations 25:59 New Head Coaches Making Their Debut 39:21 Who's Missing Expectations #wnba #chicagosky #angelreese Thumbnail: Daniel Bartel, Catalina Fragoso via Getty Images Follow and listen to the audio podcast: Leave a comment wherever youre listening, or email us at NoOffseason@TheAthletic.com.
