Cheryl Reeve completed her eighth season as Lynx head coach in 2017, leading the Lynx to a 27-7 record and their fourth WNBA championship in the last seven years. Since taking over as Lynx head coach, Reeve owns a career 195-77 record, the most coaching wins in franchise history. She was initially named head coach on Dec. 8, 2009, taking over for former head coach Jennifer Gillom. On Dec. 6, 2012, Reeve signed a multi-year contract extension with the club. Prior to the 2016 season, the Lynx signed Reeve to a multi-year contract extension. On December 28, 2017, Reeve signed a multi-year contract extension and was named general manager.

Reeve becomes the sixth dual Head Coach and General Manager currently in the WNBA, joining Amber Stocks (Chicago), Curt Miller (Connecticut), Pokey Chatman (Indiana), Bill Laimbeer (Las Vegas) and Mike Thibault (Washington).

Under Reeve’s tutelage, the Lynx have compiled 195 wins over the last eight seasons, the most prolific eight-year run in WNBA history. Finishing the 2017 season 27-7, Minnesota has registered its sixth 25-win campaign in the last seven years, becoming the first WNBA franchise to win 27+ games in a season four separate times. Since taking over in 2010, Reeve’s .715 winning percentage (195-77) ranks first in league history; she’s one of just two coaches to win more than 60% of their games (Van Chancellor, .655).
