The New York Liberty have reportedly parted ways with head coach Chris DeMarco after just one season, following the team's sweep in the WNBA semifinals. The decision comes despite DeMarco leading the Liberty to a playoff appearance in his first year at the helm.
DeMarco was hired ahead of the 2026 season but could not guide the team past the semifinal round, where they were eliminated in a clean sweep. The franchise appears to be seeking a different direction as it aims to contend for a championship in the upcoming season.
The Liberty's front office has not yet announced a replacement or a timeline for the coaching search. DeMarco's departure marks a quick turnover for a franchise that has been building toward title contention in recent years.
