Chris DeMarco just leveled up in the coaching world, and we’re here for the epic glow-up.

The Warriors’ longtime assistant coach is trading the Bay Area for Brooklyn, landing the head coaching gig with the New York Liberty. Talk about a career power move that’s got everyone in the sports world buzzing.

From Video Room to Victory Lane

Starting as a video coordinator back in 2012, DeMarco climbed the Warriors’ coaching ladder like a total boss. He’s been part of four championship runs and was finally sitting at the coveted front-bench spot this season. But apparently, coaching royalty was calling his name louder than Golden State.

Breaking WNBA Glass Ceilings

The Liberty didn’t mess around, snagging DeMarco after parting ways with their previous coach Sandy Brondello - you know, the one who just led them to a WNBA championship in 2024. DeMarco beat out some serious coaching talent, including former Warriors assistant Jama Mahlalela, to land this dream job.

Bay Area Roots Run Deep

Despite the move, DeMarco’s heart remains in NorCal. A Dominican University Hall of Famer who’s called Marin County home for 15 years, he’s not just leaving a job - he’s embarking on a new chapter. And let’s be real, with his track record of coaching success, the Liberty just hit the coaching jackpot.
