Angel Reese may have been furious that Chicago Sky fired Teresa Weatherspoon as head coach in September, but it’s safe to say she’s a fan of the replacement.
Tyler Marsh, an assistant at Las Vegas Aces and head of player development at the organization, is the coach who is taking over the team, according to ESPN on Saturday night.
And Reese was quick to take to social media to celebrate, first simply tweeting: ‘W.’
Aces player Sydney Colson replied saying: ‘Excuse me?! We’re grieving, have some respect!’ to which Reese said: ‘Sorry but your time is UP. It’s our turn! I’ll send you some tissue tho sister girl unless you want to come join this side too.’
Another Aces player, Alysha Clark, replied to Reese saying: ‘Like give us a day. Dang.’

When the Sky announced they had fired Weatherspoon, Reese write on X: ‘I’m heartbroken. I’m literally lost for words knowing what this woman meant to me at such a pivotal point in my life.
‘She was the only person that believed in me. The one that trusted me… You were an unsung hero in my life. We built a relationship in a short amount of time that will last forever.
‘I’ll never question God why he brings people into my life and takes them away from me in the capacity that I need them but I’ve always believed everyone is in your life for a reason and a season.
‘You were the best reason & season. You didn’t deserve this but I can’t thank you enough. I love you Tspoon.’
Chicago Sky failed to make the playoffs last season and Reese missed the final few games of the season with a wrist issue that required surgery.
