Overview
- Cheryl Reeve recorded her 380th regular-season win when the Minnesota Lynx beat the Connecticut Sun 86-80 on Wednesday, July 8, passing Mike Thibault's previous mark of 379.
- Reeve reached the milestone after earlier becoming the all-time leader in combined regular-season and postseason wins on Sept. 14, 2025, and after her June 27 induction into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame.
- Mike Thibault publicly congratulated Reeve in a video, and the Lynx celebrated in the locker room as Reeve said on the postgame broadcast she was “so glad this is over.”
- The win keeps Minnesota near the top of the standings this season with a 16-6 record and underscores how Reeve’s coaching and roster moves have sustained the team’s competitiveness without full availability of key players.
- Reeve’s 17-year run in Minnesota, four WNBA titles, four Coach of the Year awards, front-office responsibilities, and role as Team USA coach explain why the record matters for the league’s continuity and coaching legacy.
