What happened: The New York Liberty will not retain head coach Chris DeMarco after one season at the helm. The decision concludes his tenure leading the franchise.

Why it matters: DeMarco guided New York to a 26-18 regular-season record before the team was swept in the playoff semifinals. The dismissal marks an abrupt reset for a roster built to contend for championships.

What to watch: The Liberty now enter the offseason searching for their next head coach.
