Minnesota Lynx President of Basketball Operations and Head Coach Cheryl Reeve was named USA Basketball’s National Team Coach of the Year, USAB announced on Wednesday morning.
Reeve earned the honors after leading the USA Basketball Senior Women’s National Team to its fourth straight gold at the FIBA Women’s World Cup (WWC) down in Sydney, Australia this fall in her first major international tournament as Head Coach of the prestigious hoops dynasty.
“What I wanted to do was make sure this journey was fun. Because I think there’s sometimes when you have pressure to win, or the perceived pressure, it takes the enjoyment out of it.
