New York Liberty stars decline to endorse head coach Chris DeMarco's future
New York Liberty players Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and Jonquel Jones have publicly distanced themselves from decisions regarding the future of head coach Chris DeMarco. Each player stated that the coach's job security is not a matter for the players to decide.
Following recent speculation regarding the coaching staff, the New York Liberty’s core trio—Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and Jonquel Jones—addressed questions concerning head coach Chris DeMarco. When asked about their support for the coach and his potential future with the organization, the players offered a unified response, consistently noting that such personnel decisions are "not our decision."
The refusal to provide a definitive vote of confidence has drawn attention, as it leaves the team's internal stance on the coaching situation ambiguous. While the players did not explicitly criticize DeMarco, their choice to avoid offering public support suggests a neutral or non-committal position regarding his tenure. The organization has not yet released an official statement clarifying whether DeMarco’s position is under review or if the players' comments reflect broader internal discussions within the Liberty front office. The situation remains fluid as the team navigates the remainder of the season.
