03.16Overton has resigned as Head Coach and GM of the Chicago Sky
Effective immediately, Head Coach Bo Overton has resigned from the Chicago Sky. Former assistant coach, Steven Key has been named GM and Head Coach.
“It has been a privilege to be involved with the Sky from beginning and I am excited to continue our building process,” said Key. “The team made enormous strides in our second season and I have great respect for our athletes. They work hard both on the basketball court and in the community. I’m very enthusiastic about our future; with our current talent plus the number two pick in the rookie draft, the Sky is poised to reach new heights in 2008.”
In 2007, the Sky finished their sophomore season 14-20 with a near miss at the Eastern Conference Finals. Steven Key played an integral role in the team’s dramatic improvement in its second season.
“Steve has played a key role in helping to build and shape the Chicago Sky since day one,” said Sky CEO Margaret Stender. “He shares our values, work ethic and desire to improve and grow. He has my complete confidence as the Sky’s new GM and head coach.”
