What happened: The Dallas Wings launched a campaign supporting Jose Fernandez for Coach of the Year. The post promotes Fernandez’s candidacy without announcing an award result.
Why it matters: The push puts league-wide recognition around Fernandez’s first season leading Dallas. It also reflects expectations that the Wings would improve under his direction.
By the numbers: Fernandez received 14% of WNBA general-manager votes for the coach expected to make the biggest impact with a new team.
What to watch: The award decision will determine whether the campaign gains formal recognition.
