Following the departure of a few key individuals within the organization to begin the offseason, the Minnesota Lynx have made a few big-name hires to bolster their coaching staff.
Minnesota announced Saturday it has hired Lynx legend Lindsay Whalen and former Washington Mystics head coach Eric Thibault to Cheryl Reeve’s coaching staff.
Whalen, a Hall of Famer and Minnesota native, has been hired as an assistant coach, while Thibault has been added as associate head coach.
“I am excited to add both Eric and Lindsay to our coaching staff,” Reeve said via a statement issued by the organization.
