“We promised our fans that we would be very intentional with our next coaching hire, with the goal of being a playoff and championship contender every year,” Nadia Rawlinson, Chicago Sky Co-Owner and Operating Chairman, said while unveiling their coach for the 2025 season, Tyler Marsh. The side had a frustrating previous season and completely revamped the roster, adding Tyler Marsh as the first piece to the change. While fans were curious about Marsh, Sky GM Jeff Pagliocca provided the franchise’s insights to choose Marsh as their HC.

“Tyler is known for his integrity, humility, and focus on building a culture rooted in trust and accountability.” He mentioned, “We are confident that he will lead the Sky to new heights and inspire our players and fans alike.” The GM, who had a close relationship with Tyler, knew what they were bringing in. Praising Tyler’s ability to connect with players on a personal level and combining the same with his relentless work ethic, the franchise handed the roster to Marsh.

He started his Head Coaching career with two wins in a row and lost a close game against the Minnesota Lynx. While fans are somewhat familiar with his style of play and game tactics, Tyler’s personal life is still very much under wraps. Here are details of Tyler Marsh’s relationship/marital status.
