The New York Liberty have dismissed head coach Chris DeMarco following a late-season surge that ended in a playoff upset, USA TODAY Sports reported Tuesday. The decision comes after the team's postseason exit despite a strong finish to the regular season.
DeMarco had guided the Liberty through a notable late-season run that positioned the team for playoff contention. However, an early postseason departure prompted the organization to make a coaching change as it looks ahead to the 2027 campaign.
The Liberty front office has not yet announced a timeline for naming a replacement. The franchise, which has been building toward championship contention, will now search for its next head coach during the offseason.
