Last Saturday, Dan Hughes announced his retirement from WNBA head coaching, stepping away from the Seattle Storm six games into the 2021 season. Hughes shared:
After over 40 years of coaching basketball, I want to finish my career with the focus and determination with which I started. The Seattle Storm is in amazing shape, after two championships and a terrific playoff run in 2019, I would like to announce my retirement from the WNBA. I believe now is the right time because the team is performing well, but the rigors of being a head coach in the WNBA have taken their toll on me.

Fluffy snowflakes are sticking to your eyelashes. Your car is parked far away from the gym doors.
