Longtime Washington Mystics coach Mike Thibault is stepping down.
Thibault, the winningest coach in WNBA history, announced on Tuesday that he will step down from his post with the team. He will remain in the team’s front office as their general manager.
The Mystics will now replace him with his son and longtime associate head coach Eric Thibault.
“I am proud to have been the head coach of the Washington Mystics the past 10 years," Thibault said in a statement. "After 55 years in coaching (the last 20 in the WNBA), I feel like it is time to turn this team over to Eric and his coaching staff on the court.
