Minneapolis, MN (My Sportsbook) - The Minnesota Lynx announced Tuesday the hiring of Cheryl Reeve as the club's new head coach.

Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Reeve most recently was with the WNBA's Detroit Shock, where she served as an assistant coach before being promoted to the team's general manager position just three games into last season.

After joining the Shock coaching staff in 2006, she helped the franchise reach the WNBA Finals in each of her first three years, winning WNBA titles in 2006 and 2008.

Reeve's coaching resume includes 21 years as both an assistant and a head coach at the collegiate and WNBA levels.

"We are very excited to have hired Cheryl to lead our team," said Lynx executive vice president Roger Griffith. "She's been part of two WNBA championships in Detroit, has been in two other WNBA finals, and has been to the playoffs in seven of her nine seasons in the league. She's had the chance to learn from three of the most accomplished and well-respected coaches that have ever coached in the WNBA in Bill Laimbeer, Anne Donovan, and Dan Hughes."

Minnesota missed the playoffs last season after posting a 14-20 record.

"I'm looking forward to this exciting opportunity to lead the Minnesota Lynx," said Reeve. "I believe that with the rising young talent on this team, the return of Seimone Augustus, and the additions we'll make to the roster this offseason, the time is now for the Lynx to be the best in the West. I have spent the last four WNBA seasons competing for championships and look forward to doing the same with the Lynx."
