Expectations are everything in coaching, and the Bears saw that clearly in the two coaches they hired before bringing in Ben Johnson this year.

There were virtually no expectations of Nagy upon arrival in 2018 coming off a brutal 5-11 season.

UNCASVILLE, Conn. — Angel Reese held up all 10 fingers in celebration of her first career triple-double, and the Sky needed exactly that kind of fiery, wind-ranging effort from her Sunday to beat the Sun 78-66 at Mohegan Sun Arena. Double-doubles are fairly regular for Reese, but she needed one assist late in the game to get there. She handed off to Ariel Atkins with 2:46 left for a long jumper, and Reese knew immediately she’d gotten it.

COLLEGE PARK, Ga. — There were stretches of the Sky’s game Friday against the Dream in which they looked exactly like the team coach Tyler Marsh has been imagining they could become. Even through three quarters, they held their ground against one of the best teams in the WNBA.

COLLEGE PARK, Ga. — As Sky coach Tyler Marsh tinkers with his rotation, he has two sides of the same coin at the wing position with Kia Nurse and Rebecca Allen. Nurse began the season as his starter, then he flipped them this week against the Liberty to see if Allen’s hot shooting could spark the starting lineup. They both started Friday against the Dream, as Ariel Atkins took a shot at filling the void at point guard left by Courtney Vandersloot’s season-ending injury.

Now that longtime Sky sharpshooter Allie Quigley is officially retired, the team plans to put her No. 14 in the rafters next month. The Sky announced Wednesday they will retire Quigley’s number at their July 9 game against the Wings. She’ll be the first number they’ve ever retired, with Candace Parker’s No. 3 set to go up Aug. 25. Quigley, 38, hasn’t played since 2022 and announced her retirement Tuesday.
