We wish Sandy the very best in her next chapter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">This move comes only a year after Brondello coached the Liberty to their first WNBA championship, though their title defense didn&#8217;t go according to plan. New York finished fifth during the regular season and got bounced by the Phoenix Mercury in the first round.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium
