Kristi Toliver has Liberty head coach interview on horizon

PHOENIX – Mercury associate head coach Kristi Toliver’s name has come up in a lot of WNBA circles as an interesting candidate for any of the league’s five head coaching vacancies. 

She’s even in the mix to potentially be Sandy Brondello’s successor in New York. 

The Mercury granted the Liberty permission to speak with Toliver, according to multiple league sources. A formal interview is expected to take place after the WNBA season, sources said.

Toliver also previously interviewed to be Toronto’s inaugural head coach, sources said. Other candidates for that job include Brondello and Pacers assistant Jenny Boucek, sources said.
