Two people with knowledge of the situation tell The Associated Press that Amber Stocks has been hired to coach the Chicago Sky.
The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the team has not announced the move. A news conference has been scheduled for Tuesday.
Stocks replaces Pokey Chatman, who the Sky let go after she guided Chicago to an 18-16 record and an appearance in the WNBA semifinals. She won 106 games in Chicago and led the team to its first-ever playoff appearance in 2013 and a trip to the WNBA Finals in 2014.
Before coming to Los Angeles, Stocks served as an assistant coach at Xavier from 2002-09. She played at Cincinnati, helping the team win a Conference USA championship before graduating in 1999. She also worked briefly at Notre Dame and Tennessee.
