This most recent honor for Reeve marks the third time in her career she has received the monthly award, previously being named Coach of the Month in May of 2017
and June of 2024.
Over the month of July, Reeve led Minnesota to a league-best 9-3 record to keep the team atop the WNBA standings. The nine wins in July ties the second-most in Lynx history over the course of a month, with the Lynx also doing so in June of 2024 and July of 2014.
Highlighting the nine-win month was Reeve’s 350th win of her career that was earned July 16 in a win over the Phoenix Mercury, joining Mike Thibault as the second coach in WNBA history to reach that milestone. As a team, the Lynx also recorded win 500 on July 10 in a win over the Los Angeles Sparks, becoming the third franchise in league history along with Los Angeles and Connecticut to reach 500 victories as a franchise.
