WNBA: Head coaches to support and fade when betting from proven expert
SportsLine expert Calvin Wetzel has disclosed his thoughts on which head coaches to support and avoid when wagering on the WNBA


While head coaches may not have quite as much control over a team in the professional ranks than a squad in college, where things like recruiting, the transfer portal and NIL come into play, WNBA bench bosses still have a significant impact on many important factors of the game from a betting perspective.
They can install their own style or pace of play, and they can be responsible for how well - or poorly - a team develops chemistry. In short, if you project games based solely on the talent on the floor, you're missing a key element.
Which head coaches can you rely on and which should you evade when wagering on the WNBA? Here are proven expert Calvin Wetzel's top three coaches who can make impacts, both positive and negative, on the outcome of a game.
