For the first time since 2013, Mike Thibault will not be patrolling the sidelines for the Washington Mystics. Coach T made way for Eric Thibault to take over the head coach spot as he took on the General Manager job full-time. While ahead coaching change is nothing to scoff at, the Mystics are relying on continuity and internal growth to compete for a championship.
Seven of the team’s projected top eight players have played for the Mystics and the roster could feature as many as six players from the 2019 championship roster. Washington brought in Brittney Sykes to take over the departed Alysha Clark’s spot.
