Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve made history on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, by securing her 380th career regular-season victory.
The milestone came after an 86-80 win against the Connecticut Sun at Mohegan Sun Arena.

Reeve surpassed the previous record of 379 regular-season wins held by former Connecticut Sun and Washington Mystics coach Mike Thibault since 2022.
The achievement followed a temporary delay on Friday, July 3, 2026, when the New York Liberty defeated the Lynx 99-86, briefly holding Reeve at 379 wins.
Breanna Stewart scored 36 points in that game.
Reeve previously became the all-time winningest WNBA coach in combined regular-season and postseason victories on Sept. 14, 2025, reaching 414 wins to surpass Thibault's mark of 413.
She was also inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame on June 27, 2026, in Knoxville, Tennessee, becoming only the second WNBA coach to receive the honor after Van Chancellor 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.
Reeve has spent 17 seasons leading the Minnesota Lynx since 2010, securing four WNBA championships and four WNBA Coach of the Year honors.
She also coached Team USA to a gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
"To walk around and see the history of how much has been done years before I could ever have this opportunity to coach," Reeve noted.
