Lynx Hire Whalen, Thibault to Coaching Staff

News summary

The Minnesota Lynx have bolstered their coaching staff by hiring Lindsay Whalen, a franchise legend and Hall of Famer, as an assistant coach, alongside Eric Thibault, former Washington Mystics head coach, as associate head coach. This comes after Lynx's narrow loss to the New York Liberty in the WNBA Finals and a significant staff restructuring, including the departure of associate head coach Katie Smith and general manager Clare Duwelius. Head coach Cheryl Reeve expressed excitement about the new hires, highlighting Whalen's unique insights from her playing days and Thibault's extensive coaching experience. Whalen, who led the Lynx to four championships in the 2010s, previously coached at the University of Minnesota. The revamped coaching team aims to guide the Lynx back to the Finals, building on the success of last season. Reeve emphasized that the new staff is well-positioned to help achieve the team's championship goals.
