Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve will have to wait at least another game to break the record for most regular-season victories in WNBA history. The Lynx lost in her first attempt on Friday night in a 99-86 defeat to New York.
Reeve’s Record Pursuit
The next chance will come Monday when Minnesota hosts Connecticut. That game is on the 13th anniversary, to the day, that Mike Thibault broke Van Chancellor’s record for most career regular-season wins. Thibault finished with 379 — a mark that Reeve has equaled.
Reeve has gone 379-195 during the regular season in her career with Minnesota. She took over the Lynx in 2010 and has led the franchise to four WNBA championships.
Her staff is filled with her former players, including Lindsay Whalen. In 2025, she added Eric Thibault. The younger Thibault was on his father’s staff in Washington when he broke the wins record.
Whenever Reeve breaks his record, the elder Thibault said he’d be happy for her. “If I’m going to have my record broken, I’d rather it was her more than anyone I know,” Mike Thibault told The Associated Press in a phone interview Friday.
