“I’m so grateful to be the next head coach of the Chicago Sky,” Marsh said in a statement. “Thank you to Jeff Pagliocca, Michael Alter and all of Sky ownership for their belief in me to be the next leader of this franchise. I’m looking forward to building relationships with our players and throughout our entire organization as we work towards establishing a championship culture on and off the court.”

“Tyler’s relentless work ethic, deep understanding of the game, and his ability to connect with players on a personal level set him apart,” general manager Jeff Pagliocca said in a statement. “His commitment to developing each player’s unique strengths, along with his basketball acumen and calm, composed leadership style, make him an outstanding fit for our team. Tyler is known for his integrity, humility, and focus on building a culture rooted in trust and accountability. We are confident that he will lead the Sky to new heights and inspire our players and fans alike.” 

Who Marsh will add onto his coaching staff is still yet to be seen as well as where the Sky will sit in the upcoming 2025 WNBA Draft. The lottery for the WNBA Draft is set for Sunday, November 17 at 4 p.m. on ESPN.
