Story summary
Chris DeMarco, head coach of the New York Liberty, expressed confidence in his job security despite the team's season-ending loss to the Atlanta Dream in the semifinals. When asked if he had discussed his future with general manager Jonathan Kolb, DeMarco responded affirmatively. However, players Jonquel Jones, Sabrina Ionescu, and Breanna Stewart avoided endorsing his return for 2027, focusing instead on the missed opportunity rather than personnel changes. The coach's management of late-game situations was criticized, particularly a timeout mistake during Game 2 against the Dream. Despite this, DeMarco remains optimistic about his position with the team moving forward.
