"After a thorough search, we could not be more thrilled to welcome Chris DeMarco as our head coach."
"Throughout the process, our goal was clear: identify a leader who could elevate our culture, implement elite-level systems, and bring a modern vision for how to guide this franchise forward on the court,"
""incredibly honored" and "proud to carry forward the standard the franchise has set. The chance to work with some of the greatest players in basketball, supported by an exceptional front office and ownership group, is the kind of opportunity every coach dreams of," DeMarco said. "I can't wait to get started - building on the winning foundation and culture that make the New York Liberty so special.""
Chris DeMarco becomes head coach of the New York Liberty after 14 seasons with the Golden State Warriors, where he worked in player development, scouting, and as an assistant coach. He contributed to four NBA championships with Golden State and served as head coach of the Bahamas Men's National Team in 2019 while participating as a featured coach at Basketball Without Borders America. Liberty General Manager Jonathan Kolb emphasized elevating culture, implementing elite systems, and bringing a modern vision. DeMarco stated he was honored and eager to build on the franchise's winning foundation and culture. The hire follows a 2024 championship, a 27-17 2025 season, and the firing of Sandy Brondello after a first-round playoff loss to the Phoenix Suns.
