Following Historic WNBA Deal, Damian Lillard Shouts Out ex-Coach Joining $7.6 Billion Worth Owner?s ?Greatest Sports Organisation? Campaign

Mat Ishiba was recently the headline of all the sports tabloids for his progressive move. Phoenix Suns owner, NCAA championship ring owner, and most importantly, a basketball junkie, is here to become a force in the NBA. Following his father?s sage advice, Ishiba is all set to spend more than $100 million to build a revolution in the WNBA?s history.

A dedicated practice facility and falling short of assistant coach positions?hah,? that was but obvious. With a downtown campus for Suns and Mercury employees, Ishiba has a new shark on board.

Ex-Portland Blaizers Coach, Set to Become Mercury?s Mentor

The new GM of the Phoenix Mercury, Nick U’Ren, who switched from the Golden State Warriors, along with CEO Josh Bartelstein, went on a coaching hunt, and they hit the jackpot. Former assistant coach of the Portland Trail Blazers and Cleveland Cavaliers and presently dealing with the Orlando Magic, Nate Tibbetts is a golden find for the Phoenix Mercury.

It definitely needs some work around stability with the recent firing of Vanessa Nygaard and then the appointment of the interim coach. Will Nate hit the spot with some of his father?s wisdom, because Sr. Tibbetts was the coach of a successful high school girls’ team in South Dakota?

Be that as it may, Lillard couldn?t be happier about the move.
