For the first time since 2012, Bill Laimbeer isn’t coaching a WNBA team, and he said he doesn’t plan to return.
“I’m not ever going to coach again,” Laimbeer said, via ESPN’s Mechelle Voepel. “I just don’t have that kind of energy. I don’t have that willpower. It’s an all-consuming thing.”
Laimbeer mentioned he knew during last season that it was time to move on.
