Weeks after dismissing then-coach Teresa Weatherspoon, the Chicago Sky announced that Las Vegas Aces assistant coach/head of player development Tyler Marsh will now lead the team.
“We promised our fans that we would be very intentional with our next coaching hire, with the goal of being a playoff and championship contender every year,” Chicago Sky Co-Owner and Operating Chairman Nadia Rawlinson said in a statement. “Coach Marsh brings a wealth of successful coaching experience and accountable leadership to our young team, and we look forward to a new era of Chicago Sky basketball with Coach Marsh at the helm.”
Marsh spent the past two seasons as an assistant coach and head of player development with the Las Vegas Aces, helping lead the team to back-to-back WNBA Championships in 2022 and 2023 as well as a Commissioner’s Cup Championship win in 2022. In the three years on the Aces coaching staff under Head Coach Becky Hammon, Marsh helped coach the Aces to three straight playoff berths during 2022-24.
Prior to his time with the Aces, Marsh held a similar role as an assistant coach on the NBA side with the Indiana Pacers during 2020-22 under head coaches Rick Carlisle and Nate Bjorkgren. Before Indiana, Marsh won an NBA championship under Head Coach Nick Nurse in 2019 as the Toronto Raptors’ assistant video coordinator/player development coach.
“I’m so grateful to be the next head coach of the Chicago Sky,” Marsh said. “I’m looking forward to building relationships with our players and throughout our entire organization as we work towards establishing a championship culture on and off the court.”
