September 27, 2024

The Chicago Sky have fired head coach Teresa Weatherspoon after just one season, the team announced on Friday. Weatherspoon, who was hired less than a year ago, went 13-27 in her first year in charge, as the Sky missed the playoffs for the first time since 2018.

“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 Nadia 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.” CBS Sports
