That sounds like a very Dallas hire

I feel like a contender with that move. Although I struggle to figure out how to alphas like him and Bibb can stay on one accord.

As an old school Miracle fan, I would LOVE to see Nykesha as a coach. She's had a few years as a college assistant. I'm not sure how well she'd interview or what her coaching philosophy is (I don't watch CBB) but she'd be a great pick.
That being said, I don't know if that is a "win a chip now!" type move. The Sun will need to be very bold (like Vegas). They should pursue Reeve or try to lure Weatherspoon away from the NBA.
Unless CT is planning on blowing it all up. Who knows.

I can work with that. Give her the GM title as well |
She’s been a terrible GM, but never mind that.

I'll give you a name for next Sun coach, how about Asjha Jones? She played there, was an assistant with Washington, hired by the Trailblazers. Coached under Thibeault I don't know if she would be interested.
They did raise her number at Mohegan Sun Arena like the Aces did with Becky...

I think Brandi Poole deserves a chance of being the head coach of the Sun and Stephanie White a 2nd chance of being the head coach of the Fever. Also, I think Amber Stocks will get strong consideration to be the next GM of the Los Angeles Sparks or Connecticut Sun.

Shoot, I'm available, too!🤣 Let me put my hat in the ring!!!
Her HC stint was unremarkable.
None of her 2017 picks are in the league (Coates lasted longest but never made much impact anywhere, sadly.) She drafted Diamond and Gabby but cut Laney who I believe was still recuperating from her first major injury. Granted, Laney wasn't the player she is now, but I saw her potential,which is why I am happy for her now!
Something must have happened shortly after the 2018 draft lottery because Stocks was quickly out the door.
Don't think she's coached in the W since.
Thus, I am not convinced she's a viable candidate.
Totally tangential...it always puzzled me why, during a STH social event, she felt the need to tell me, sotto voce, that the VanderQuigs had just bought a house. I was glad to hear it, but that wasn't her news to share...

Maybe VanderQuigs were fine with her using that info for marketing purposes?

Did you read the part where I mention Amber Stocks has a previous working relationship with the new LA Sparks Head Coach Curt Miller. Also, Amber Stocks does now the inner workings of being a WNBA GM that the average person doesn't know. It's not easy being a successful GM and Head Coach which is why almost all the WNBA teams (except Lynx, Mystics and Sky) have separated the jobs.

Snoopy......i know there will be a lot of backlash due to his previous actions as a HC in the W but he has won a title with LA and Conn continues to be 1 step short. Could he get them over the hump ?

I did but guess had a mental block about the potential significance of that connection because I just don't see Stocks as a good repeat HC or GM prospect. Perhaps I have missed something but it seems her name hasn't been mentioned in other open job speculations. Jmo. Let her prove me wrong.

Patterson seems content as an AC. Berube sounds intriguing. Smith? I dunno...
