Noelle Quinn is taking her talents to Unrivaled.
On Thursday, the 3-on-3 women's professional league announced Quinn will serve as the inaugural head coach of Breeze BC, one of two new teams to join Unrivaled for the league's second season, which tips off in January. Quinn previously served as the head coach of the WNBA's Seattle Storm for five seasons (2021-25). Her contract wasn't renewed in September for the 2026 season after the Storm's second consecutive first-round playoff exit.
"We're thrilled to add such exceptional talent to our head coaching roster in our second season, elevating the strong foundation established by our inaugural coaching staffs across Unrivaled," Unrivaled general manager Clare Duwelius said in a statement.
Quinn is not the only Unrivaled head coach with WNBA experience. Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer Teresa Weatherspoon previously served as the head coach of the Chicago Sky in 2024 and will lead the Vinyl BC for the second consecutive season after her team fell just short of winning the first Unrivaled League championship game in March against the Rose BC.
Noelle Quinn, who spent the last five seasons as head coach of the Seattle Storm, will coach in Unrivaled.

Unrivaled expanded from six teams to eight teams following the league's successful inaugural season, adding Breeze BC and Hive BC to the ranks. Rena Wakama, who serves as the head coach of the Nigerian Women's National Team and an assistant coach of the Chicago Sky, was tapped to lead Hive BC.
Four of the inaugural coaches from last season returned to Unrivaled for the second season, including Weatherspoon (Vinyl BC), Andrew Wade (Laces BC), DJ Sackmann (Lunar Owls BC) and Nola Henry (Rose BC). New York Liberty assistant coach Zach O'Brien will succeed Phil Handy as the head coach of Mist BC. Connecticut Sun assistant Roneeka Hodges will succeed Adam Harrington as the head coach of Phantom BC.
"We thank Phil (Handy) and Adam (Harrington) for their leadership last season and look forward to building on the momentum for the league this year," Duwelius said.
Although 46 of the 48 players participating in the second season of Unrivaled have been unveiled, the eight head coaches will have to wait until the selection show to see which players will fill out their roster.
