SYDNEY — Sandy Brondello is set to coach Australia's Opals to the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles, extending her involvement with the national women's basketball team to a seventh Olympics. Brondello guided the Opals to an Olympic bronze medal in Paris last year and helped the New York Liberty win the WNBA title in October. She played for the Opals in the 1988, 1996, 2000 and 2004 Olympics and was appointed coach in 2017, guiding the team at the Tokyo Games and in Paris. Brondello says "Having represented at six Olympics as a player and now coach, the Opals is such a big part of my life and one that I am most proud of."
