The pressing questions facing Chris DeMarco as Liberty’s coach

Let’s start with the Ellie in the room.

Chris DeMarco, the Liberty’s soon-to-be-named head coach, is a 40-year-old white man with no prior women’s basketball experience.

It’s fair to question what his transition to the WNBA might look like and how the Liberty plan to continue to prioritize empowering women within the organization.

DeMarco’s lengthy résumé, championship pedigree and body of work as the head coach of the Bahamian men’s national team is a big reason he was awarded the opportunity to replace Sandy Brondello.
