Sandy Brondello made a triumphant return to New York, coaching Toronto against her former team, the Liberty — the very squad she led to their first WNBA title in 2024. Despite leaving the Liberty after last season, the warm reception was undeniable: fans roared, former players showed love, and a tribute video honoring her and other ex-Liberty staff earned a standing ovation. Brondello, now leading the first WNBA team outside the U.S., embraced the emotional reunion while staying focused on Toronto’s strong start — currently tied with the Liberty at 5-4. Her husband, Olaf Lange, and key former player Nyara Sabally are also on the Toronto staff, reinforcing the deep ties to New York. This wasn’t just a game — it was a heartfelt homecoming, proving that championship bonds never fade. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
