Chicago Sky Coach Offers Solution After 10th Loss<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Chicago Sky\u2019s 93-80 setback at the hands of the Atlanta Dream marked yet another tough night for a squad still finding its footing under first-year head coach Tyler Marsh.<\/p>\n

Heading into the contest at Gateway Center Arena, the Sky carried a 3-9 record, having lost five of their last six games.<\/p>\n

Chicago\u2019s offense has struggled to keep pace, averaging just 76.5 points per game (12th in the WNBA), while its defense has conceded a league-worst 88.4 points per contest.<\/p>\n

After the game, Marsh was blunt about his team\u2019s recurring handicap. “We need to protect the 3-point line better. That continues to be our Achilles heel.”<\/p>\n

Marsh was named head coach on November 3, 2024, stepping in after back-to-back WNBA championships with the Las Vegas Aces as an assistant.<\/p>\n

A former D-League champion with Rio Grande Valley in 2013, Marsh\u2019s resume includes a 2019 NBA title with the Toronto Raptors (as player development coach), two WNBA titles (2022, 2023) and a Commissioner\u2019s Cup crown in 2022.<\/p>\n

Despite coming into the year with high hopes, Marsh has failed to find consistency and now finds himself in the hot seat through the early portion of the season.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the Sky fell 107-86 to the Phoenix Mercury, allowing a franchise-record 17 made 3-pointers and coughing up 21 turnovers that yielded 29 Mercury points. <\/p>\n

A 79-72 loss to Washington on Tuesday saw Chicago commit 25 turnovers, leading to 40 points and a game-deciding Mystics run in the second half.<\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s game followed a similar script.<\/p>\n

Atlanta jumped out to an early 25-19 first-quarter lead and while Chicago clawed back to trim the deficit to one at halftime (26-21 in the second), the Dream ultimately outscored the Sky 24-11 in the fourth quarter to pull away.<\/p>\n

Chicago shot just 42.2% from the field and 26.7% from three, allowing Atlanta to go 16-of-33 from deep (48.5%). <\/p>\n

Now, with just three wins in 13 tries, the Sky face an uphill climb.<\/p>\n
