.@AnnieCostabile on Liberty’s decision to move on from head coach Chris DeMarco:
“It was visible as the year continued that there was a bit of a disconnect…Or just a lack of clarity on what the culture was, what the direction of the team was, etc…The language from players seemed to emphasize that they were not on the same page as the coaching staff, even going into the semis against the Dream.”
.@kenzofuku on Valkyries Head Coach Natalie Nakase:
“When you talk to her you feel like you can say anything to her…Be personal, be vulnerable with her and she's talked a lot about that with her players. She wants to know what makes them tick, what motivates them…She genuinely wants to have these connections, these relationships, that's what she values the most.”
