New York Liberty general manager Jonathan Kolb said the organization was being “proactive” when it moved on from head coach Sandy Brondello.
“These decisions mark fork-in-the-road moments for organizations,” he told reporters Thursday. “You can stand still or you can embrace change and move forward, and my commitment is to keep pushing the New York Liberty to new heights.”
Kolb also denied the decision was driven solely by the Liberty’s fifth-place finish in the regular season and a first-round playoff exit.
“This is not a results-based organization,” he said. “This is not about not winning or winning. It’s about how do we position ourselves to be at the top of the league in a real sustainable way as the league evolves.”
