Paige Bueckers lived up to her hype from her UConn career as soon as she entered the league. Coming from a national championship season, Bueckers took the WNBA by storm. The Dallas Wings drafted Bueckers as the first overall pick this year.<\/p>\n
She repaid that faith with an outstanding season. Paige averaged 19.2 points, 5.4 assists, and 3.9 rebounds. She led all rookies in scoring and assists. Bueckers was also named the WNBA All-Star starter. She also set a new rookie record for points in a single game with 44.<\/p>\n
Paige Bueckers comfortably won the Rookie of the Year award with 70 out of 72 first-place votes. Despite Bueckers\u2019 exceptional year, the Dallas Wings\u2019 season was forgettable. Wings finished last in the table with a 10-34 record.<\/p>\n
Dallas fans were adamant to give the boot to head coach Chris Koclanes. Their wishes came true on September 30 when the Dallas Wings fired Chris. There hasn\u2019t been much talk around a replacement yet. However, Sandy Brondello has surfaced as an option. Unfortunately, fans are not that pleased with her either.<\/p>\n
As per WNBA insider Jake Fischer, the Wings are exploring<\/a> the opportunity to bring Sabrina Ionescu and Breanna Stewart\u2019s former coach, Brondello. The former New York Liberty head coach might be a solid option<\/a> to lead Paige Bueckers, as per Fischer. Fans, however, do not think she is the right choice.<\/p>\n \u201cPlease god no. Her entire career has been underachieving with stacked superteams. Please get someone with a modern vision and NBA experience,\u201d one fan commented<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cWe not hungry. Go get Noelle Quinn or a college coach,\u201d another said<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cSandy go anywhere but Dallas,\u201d another fan replied<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cWe do not want Sandy bruh,\u201d one user claimed<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think sandy would be good for Dallas. She\u2019s not that good with a young core. Boucek may be a better option,\u201d another explained<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cPlease nooooooooooo Curt Miller. Sandy is a wonderful person but she\u2019s not the coach of the future for Paige and this franchise,\u201d another exclaimed<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cSandy Brondello\u2019s not a good coach though that\u2019s why the Liberty let her go,\u201d one fan said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Sandy Brondello\u2019s Last Season With New York Liberty Sandy Brondello led Sabrina Ionescu, Breanna Stewart, and the team to their first-ever WNBA championships in 2024. Liberty started the 2025 season in great form. They began with a dominant 9-0 win streak and also qualified for the playoffs rather comfortably.<\/p>\n However, Liberty faced a resilient Phoenix Mercury in the first round of the WNBA playoffs. Mercury won the series 2-1 with dominant displays in Games 2 and 3. The Phoenix Mercury reached the finals. Liberty, on the other hand, chose to part ways with Sandy Brondello.<\/p>\n It was just hours after Breanna Stewart dropped the f-bomb in reply to the question of Brondello\u2019s future in New York. Shockingly enough, Liberty let their head coach go just one year after winning a WNBA championship. Is Brondello and Wings the perfect match?<\/p>\n College Sports Network has you covered with the latest news, analysis, insights, and trending stories in college football<\/a>, men\u2019s college basketball<\/a>, women\u2019s college basketball<\/a>, and college baseball<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n
