I'm gonna go on record that I think Phoenix are going to play dramatically better in DTs absence. Obviously the Big 3 isn't working. Maybe taking her out of the equation will generate better chemistry between Skyler and Griner, something the team should be shifting towards anyway.
I still think DT is the best player on the team but I think reducing her role is needed for this team to grow forward. Her role really should be more similar to Bird's in Seattle.

It’s Odd..but DT almost always misses time in an Olympic year.

How did the Mercury lose with Cambage mailing in her defense on BG? |

If they fire Sandy, who do they get? Amber Stocks? Pokey? Agler? One of their current assistants?
I don't think they will.

No play ran for BG the last minute of the game. Bad call by the refs. No coaching defensive adjustment.

Agler would be a great choice!

Eh. I just feel like the window is VERY short for PHX/Taurasi and changing a coach could slam that door shut. Granted, the door seems to be barely open with Sandy, but I feel like Sandy isn't going anywhere unless DT demands it.
They should probably do it now while she's out and have the Olympic break. This team is talented enough to make the playoffs and maybe a coaching change will have helped enough with that added time that they may be competitive in the playoffs.

Doesnt matter who the coach is, historically, the Mercury always start off slow. Firing the coach who helped along with the GM to form this roster is not going to make things better. I could see if they decided to start over with a new coach becuase they were young like Dallas, but this is a veteran team which is built to win now. Putting a new coach and system in will do more harm that good.

That's not what I'm saying. My just hesitant that a coaching change will be a met positive in the waning months of DTs career. Scared money. Lol

I do agree. As a Mercury fan first, I want to win. We need to go beyond the idea that players know EVERYTHING. I am not saying that I do by any means. My point is that we constantly get into a situation where the player knows best and when it comes to coaching and management, I don't always think that's true.
For example, when Griner said "no Sandy, no me" I would like to ask why. Why don't you believe that another coach could support you in the same way WHILE you win a championship.
Relationships are important but so is winning. Otherwise, why do we do this?

Sandy has needed to go for years.
It’s hard to do it though. Because she makes the playoffs, but the Mercury have consistently underperformed and a lot of the issues are coaching.
