ability to clearly communicate<\/a> her system and the roles she desires in her players.\u00a0<\/p>\n\u201cThe style of basketball she plays, for me, coming halfway through the season, it was simple,\u201d Talbot said. \u201cI know her system. It\u2019s a little less complicated coming into a system I already know. I know what the coach wants.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAlready having a relationship, she\u2019s easy to talk to. We have an open, honest relationship, so that probably helped, for sure.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Plenty of time had passed for Harrison and Talbot before they reunited with Brondello.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think she\u2019s changed,\u201d Harrison said. \u201cI think she\u2019s a lot more assertive now. In the group that I had in Phoenix, I think she just let them run the show. They were Olympians. I get why she did that. We have Olympians here, but she definitely implements exactly what she wants now. I love to see that from her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Talbot had a slightly different perspective.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Sandy always stays the same,\u201d Talbot said. \u201cObviously, there\u2019s adjustments she makes to what we\u2019re doing on the court, slight adjustments and things she\u2019s trying to get better at as a coach, but Sandy is Sandy \u2014 I think that\u2019s what makes her her. She always stays the same, never too high, never too low.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Either way, whatever Brondello is doing is clearly working \u2014 and popular with her players.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Isabelle Harrison grinned, then put it simply:\u00a0 \u201cClearly,\u201d Harrison said after Liberty practice Thursday, \u201cwe\u2019re loyal to Sandy.\u201d\u00a0…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22462,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[629],"tags":[49,48,1173,3457,3543,82,630],"class_list":["post-22461","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wnba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-coaches","tag-new-york-liberty","tag-ny-sports-minute","tag-sports","tag-wnba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22461","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22461"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22461\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22462"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22461"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
