Newly named Tempo coach Sandy Brondello catches Raptors-Bucks game

Sandy Brondello was recently named the first head coach of the Toronto Tempo, the newest expansion team in the WNBA. Her appointment was officially announced just hours before she made a special appearance at the NBA game between the Toronto Raptors and the Milwaukee Bucks, held at Scotiabank Arena. This event marked an important moment as Brondello began her tenure with the Tempo, signaling a new chapter for the franchise. The Raptors-Bucks game provided a high-profile platform for Brondello’s introduction to the Toronto sports community. The Tempo’s announcement and Brondello’s attendance at the game highlight the growing presence of professional basketball in Toronto across both men's and women's leagues. This development is part of the broader expansion and increased visibility of women's professional basketball in North America. The timing of the announcement and her public appearance suggest a coordinated effort to generate excitement around the new team and its leadership.
