Brondello favored a quick tempo with Hughes’ Storm in 2003, and the Liberty featured the WNBA’s fifth-fastest pace 20 years later.
It’s impossible for a first-time coach to craft their own system, Brondello’s assistant coach and husband Olaf Lange told The Post.
“She understands her own system,” Lange said. “She knows what she wants, what she doesn’t want, what works, what doesn’t work, and now she can teach this team to play the right way. That’s when Hughes sensed Brondello was comfortable. Her Mercury teams made the playoffs every season. They lost in the first round just twice. Former Atlanta Dream head coach Nicki Collen, now Baylor’s women’s basketball coach, told The Post that Brondello turned Griner’s talent into a matchup nightmare.“They were always playing their best at playoff time,” Hughes said, “and you just kinda almost came to expect that when she was in Phoenix, and I’m seeing the same thing here in New York.
This season emerged as the latest example of the coaching impact Hughes sensed when Brondello retired and asked to join his San Antonio staff in 2005.
