One element Liberty need in their next coach to avoid another failure
November 4, 2026
Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu and Jonquel Jones didn’t move. None of the franchise faces appeared physically bothered by the question regarding Chris DeMarco’s future after the Liberty suffered a semifinals sweep.
It was a drastically different reaction than a year ago when Sandy Brondello was on the hot seat only 11 months after leading the Liberty to their first championship.
After losing Game 3 at home, Jones passed off responsibility, saying, “That’s not our say.”
Ionescu thanked DeMarco for his contributions but said “that’s not our decision.”
