The Washington Mystics ushered in a new era on Wednesday, but with very familiar faces sticking around. Mike Thibault stepped down as head coach, a position he held for the past decade. Eric Thibault takes over the reins of the coaching staff while Mike will remain as the Mystics’ General Manager. Eric has been an assistant coach on Mike’s staff since the duo came over from Connecticut in 2013.
After a lifetime of following his dad to practices, Eric followed Mike into coaching during college. Eric did not originally go to school with coaching in mind.
