Cheryl Reeve’s Hall of Fame Induction
The Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame welcomed Cheryl Reeve on Saturday, honoring the Minnesota Lynx president and head coach for a career that has reshaped the sport.
Reeve, a four‑time WNBA Coach of the Year, is on the cusp of a historic milestone; her next victory will tie her with Mike Thibault for the league’s all‑time regular‑season win record.
In her acceptance remarks, Reeve traced her path from a young assistant at La Salle University to her first WNBA role with the Charlotte Sting, crediting mentors such as Cathy Rush and the late Pat Summitt for shaping her philosophy.
She emphasized that her focus remains on the next game, not on accolades, and expressed gratitude to the players, staff and fans who have supported her throughout her journey.
A Legacy in the Making
With the Lynx poised for another deep playoff run, Reeve’s leadership continues to influence a generation of players, including former stars like Lindsay Whalen and Seimone Augustus, who have praised her mentorship.
