We expected a double from Becky Hammon or Sandy Brandello, but the voters opted for Stephanie White for the trophy. Coach Of The Year in WNBA. Fourth former player to be rewarded in the history of the league, the Connecticut Sun coach collected 36 votes out of 60 possible, leaving crumbs to Latricia Trammell (Dallas Wings, 11 votes), Brondello (New York Liberty, 6 votes ), Becky Hammon (Las Vegas Aces, 3 votes), Cheryl Reeves (Minnesota Lynx, 2 votes) and Tanisha Wright (2 votes).
In her first season at the helm of the Sun, Stephanie White guided the franchise to a record of 27 wins and 13 losses, which is a franchise record. Seeded number 3 in the playoffs, the Connecticut franchise leads 1-0 in its series against the Lynx, with the hope of winning its first WNBA title.
Before arriving at the Sun, Stephanie White spent four seasons as an assistant at the Chicago Sky, then four seasons at the Indiana Fever. In 2015, she took the reins of the Fever, leading the team to its first final in the first season.
