For Lindsay Whalen and Eric Thibault, they are both embarking on a new opportunity in their careers by joining the Minnesota Lynx coaching staff.
But for both coaches, they are actually joining an organization that they have endless ties to.
On Monday, Minnesota officially introduced Whalen and Thibault as new additions to Cheryl Reeve’s coaching staff, with Whalen being hired as assistant coach and Thibault being hired as associate head coach.
And both coaches are ready to hit the ground running while already feeling comfortable about joining — or rejoining — the organization.
