UNCASVILLE, CT — Cheryl Reeve stands alone at the top of the list for most regular-season wins as a WNBA head coach.
On Wednesday, July 8, Reeve set the league record with her 380th victory when her Minnesota Lynx defeated the Connecticut Sun, 86-80, at Mohegan Sun Arena. Reeve surpassed longtime Sun coach Mike Thibault's record of 379. It has stood since 2022.
Reeve's latest milestone comes after she tallied her 414th victory (regular-season and postseason) on Sept. 14, 2025, becoming the all-time winningest WNBA coach for combined wins, surpassing Thibault (413).
It also comes after she was inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame on June 27 in Knoxville, Tennessee. Reeve is the second WNBA coach to be inducted, joining former Houston Comets coach Van Chancellor, inducted in 2001.
“(I appreciate) the magnitude of this recognition of the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame and the great work that has gone into this institution,” Reeve said during her induction ceremony. “To walk around and see the history of how much has been done years before I could ever have this opportunity to coach."
Reeve has been with the Lynx since 2010, coaching 17 seasons with the organization. During her tenure, she's won four titles with the organization (2011, 2013, 2015, 2017) and four WNBA Coach of the Year awards. Reeve was also the coach of the Team USA women's basketball roster that won a gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
