In short

Cheryl Reeve, Minnesota Lynx’s head coach since 2010 and WNBA’s winningest coach, discusses evolving as a coach, the WNBA’s legacy of activism, and how authenticity shapes team culture—framed by Megan Rapinoe’s question “Why are you like this?”

Guest backgrounds

Cheryl Reeve is a five-time WNBA All-Star coach, Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, and four-time WNBA champion coach with the Lynx. She also coached at the 2024 Paris Olympics and has supported social justice efforts in Minneapolis, including advocacy for transgender athletes.

Key claims

Reeve argues players and staff perform best when allowed to be authentically themselves. She emphasizes “keeping the main thing the main thing” during activism and insists activism is compatible with winning. She describes activism as informed by lived experience and responsibility, not just altruism.

2016 Lynx police-brutality protest via on-court T-shirts; the team’s 2016 captains’ decision-making after Philando Castile’s killing; a 2025 “Studs” stream incident where she coached players to consider teammates’ comfort; her 2001–2003 WNBA uncertainty after teams folded.

Today we're bringing you an episode of a new podcast called Why Are You Like This? with Megan Rapinoe from A Touch More and the Vox Media Podcast Network. In this episode, host Megan Rapinoe sits down with five-time WNBA All-Star coach Cheryl Reeve, the winningest coach in WNBA history. The WNBA has exploded in popularity in recent years. On top of the surge in viewership, the league's 30th anniversary season tipped off on the heels of an historic collective bargaining agreement that gave players a nearly 400 percent salary increase.

0:52Kara Swisher:Cheryl Reeve has been head coach of the Minnesota Lynx since 2010. In addition to leading the team to four WNBA World Championships, Reeve supported the Lynx's 2016 protest against police brutality and continues to advocate for social justice issues in Minneapolis and beyond, including as an outspoken supporter of transgender athletes. In this conversation recorded live during the WNBA All-Star Weekend, Megan and Cheryl get into how she's evolved as a coach, the WNBA's legacy of activism, and why she's proud of the league where, quote, everyone is so authentically themselves. Stick around.

3:20And I remember the word at that time. I was like, God, no! That one's not a lesbian. I was more a dyke than I was a lesbian, right? At that age, right? I was.

3:41Kara Swisher:Please welcome the host of Why Are You Like This, two-time World Cup champion Megan Rapinoe.

4:09Hello! How's everybody? Hi, hi, hi.

4:17You know, you just like get a little nervous randomly. All of a sudden, I'm like, I knew what the call time was and I knew what time the show was starting. But then I get up here and I'm like, oh my God. It's just me. Hello, everyone.

4:38welcome to why are you like this i'm megan rapino we are live here in the windy city of course shout out shawty town chicago this is actually where i started my professional career lol it was so fucking cold when i got here i think it was like april too and they were like It's actually warming up. It's spring. That's cute. Before we get the show started, I wanted to just kind of run down what this new show is going to be like. Why are you like this? I want to be sitting down with disruptive people, athletes, of course. We have an amazing guest today. But also people across culture, artists, politicians, honestly, anybody will say yes.

5:29Just sitting down and having a different kind of conversation. I feel like I got this question all the time. I think I still do in a lot of ways. Like implicitly, explicitly, sometimes literally, like, why are you like this? What's going on? Sometimes my mom asks me that. Like, do you have to do it? Do you have to be the one to say it? And I'm like, I do, Mom. remember those lessons um but I feel like I got this question all the time like why do you you know say the things you do or why is your hair that color why isn't it that color why do you wear the things that you do or not I mean not usually that I feel like I'm not like a you know a skin boy or anything um but I think it's really easy to like flatten people out or things out.

6:25I think in our kind of like media landscape and culture right now people are really, not really people, I think things are like wanting it to be simple. And I'm like, humans just really aren't that simple. We're way more complicated that we're way messier than any sort of like one tagline thing. I think everybody knows that. There's a lot more nuance. So I feel like that's the conversation I want to have just putting a little bit more space into why are people the way that they are like why do they make the decisions where does that come from who are the people that shape them that was something that I feel like was always important to me to be able to like have that space I'm like I don't know sometimes I use humor when I'm sad and I'm like what the fuck is that like why do we do that that's so weird like I'm so sad and I'm gonna make a joke about myself Okay.

7:20Like, I'm interested in that for other people and also for myself. And I know, like, having the space to do that is really important. So that's kind of the way that I want to have all of these conversations and talk to people. That's kind of like the impetus to the new show. So that's that. Obviously, we're recording in the middle of WNBA All-Star. Have you guys been taking in the sights and the scenes and the sounds? Yeah? How is this? This is like people's first all-star. Baby's first all-star. Okay. People's like 25th all-star. Anybody? Somebody. Somebody here has been here for a very long time.

8:05We have the winningest coach in the WNBA joining us today. That's right. Yeah. She's a baller. You know her. you love her, five-time all-star coach Cheryl Reeve. Plus, you're going to get some reactions to my hot takes. I'm going to let you guys throw some shit out there. I know you like to say stuff. I like to hear stuff. Welcome to Why Are You Like This with Megan Rapinoe. I'm Megan Rapinoe.

8:37Let's get into it. I feel like the first thing that I was excited about is the said butt, right we have we've got blue hair now and i'm like i get it i've been there i'm like let's change it up um i love it for him never got paid to change my hair but i'm like that was stupid of me hey at &t i have a clean palette for you no you got your girls i get it I'm loving it are you guys like following in on their content we're just we're vibing have we had any like favorite moments so far you can just like holler them out if you want or not you got on their live stream wow what were you doing you don't even you were like we don't know we were just there I love it I got to go to the presidential Obama center this morning.

9:43Has anybody been? Wow. It was kind of shocking. I feel like we've gotten used to some stuff at a different level. A lower one, obviously. And I'm like, damn, he could talk. That's inspiring. I'm like, si se puede. I yeah we can right we can yes we can it was absolutely beautiful um I also saw all of the footage of them practicing like at the I feel like it was just so cute they were like he loves them and they love him and it was just like oh that's amazing that was so cool like there's some just moment I do believe in FOMO and I get it and I'm trying to work on it but I'm like I want to play in the WNBA at the all-star game I don't even need to do the whole season I'm like I want to play the all-star game I want to dribble around and like have President Obama be amazing all the time I hope all the female players were reading the plaques and stuff but no okay I too am wondering where my three-point contest invitation was.

11:08Just if those were getting lost up, like, did mine? They were sending them out late. I don't know. What happened there, though? You know what I love about the WNBA players? They will just, like, never, ever not call out shade. They're like, no, you didn't ask me. They're like, excuse me in a press conference. I didn't receive the text message, nor did I receive the official invite. Don't come for me. Kay Mac, I feel like, and Sabrina especially, they were like, mm-mm, we love to shoot a three. We would have shot that thing. But anyways, that's all the jokes I have for now. Let's get to our guests.

11:56Cheryl Reeve's bio is, like, just kind of ridiculous. But I'm going to do it. So that's actually the bulk of the show. So I'm just going to be here for the next 46 minutes or so. She's the wingest coach of all time in the WNBA. She's been inducted in the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. She's led the Minnesota Lynx to not one, two, three, but four WNBA championships, one Commissioner's Cup win. She's got a gold medal to her name, the 2024 Paris Olympics. Incredible. I was in the stands for that. Everybody saw it. That was a two. Sorry, Gabby. We love you, but absolutely not when you're playing for LeBlou and we're in America, okay?

12:43No. She's been the coach of the year four times, named an all-star coach five times. Please welcome to the show New Jersey and Minnesota's finest, Cheryl Reign.

13:10Get up here. Get up here. All right. Let's do this. And a fellow gay, obviously. You don't say. Welcome to the show. Thank you so much. This is so exciting. Yeah. This could not be more fitting. I heard the same darn thing from my mom. Why are you like that? What are you doing? Why are you like that? How are you? How are your sleep levels? WNBA All-Star is a totally different beast. How does it feel to be coaching in the All-Star game again for the fifth time, but just in general, how's this experience been so far? It's always really special. It's a celebration. And, you know, I said this is one of the few times that, you know, all these great competitors and all the things that you see in the moments in the games that might be difficult and competitive.

14:08It looks like we don't like each other. When you're at All-Star, you see there's actually lots of love for everyone, right? The coaches, the executives and the players themselves. And so it's really refreshing to be in that moment. Obviously, it's a great honor. It's never lost on me, although there's some times when I think maybe just going to sleep for a few days would be great. But it's always an honor. And obviously now I have a son who's 11. How much he enjoys being around the WNBA players is one of his favorite events to come to. He was in Indianapolis last year, had a great time, and he was really excited we had a chance to come back.

14:46I love it. Oliver's in the crowd there. Shout out Oliver Harrison. um your coaching team spoon this year i'm curious maybe you like didn't envision that you would be here this year your team went through quite a transformation why is that funny to you like i'm just like i know honestly people ask me all the time if i'm gonna coach and i'm like are you fucking serious do you know what it means to be a coach do you know the levels of stress we were talking just backstage you lost eight or nine of your players um fee had not one but two ankles done in the offseason like she's recovering from that you uh had a high draft pick so you drafted olivia i mean you have to like put the ball in a rookie's hands i mean who knows how that's gonna go that's crazy like it turns out it's fine um but you're here your team is in first place you're the only 20 team uh 20 game win team 20 win team jesus 20 win team yeah i'm like i can't even do this well how am i gonna coach you know what the only 21 team in the league.

16:06What does this one mean to you? Well, it's been a lot when I think about CBA negotiations, a lot of uncertainty, and then boom, you know, we got the word, it's on. And, you know, we've been preparing and we sort of knew some of the changes we were going to go through as a team that were inevitable with the increased money and roles that people could have. I felt really incredibly proud about the team that we had in 24 and 25. Really, really special. And we create a lot of opportunities for these players. But then when it was all said and done, I was kind of pissed. You know, I'm going, that's just great.

16:47You know, like we did all this and they chose other teams and we're supposed to celebrate them. And, you know, outwardly it was really great. But when I was home, I was like, this sucks. And, you know, you have to start over, you know, kind of. obviously it's not starting over when you have Fee, Courtney, and McBride. It's not starting over. But as you mentioned, starting this season with such uncertainty, we didn't know, and I think about training camp, which feels like a year ago at this point. But the training camp, there was a lot of uncertainty even who was going to make the final roster.

17:19Those are not necessarily your best seasons. And I think what happened in maybe all of our sort of granular thinking about who was going to make the roster, Something special was actually brewing with the starting five that we had with, obviously, Olivia Miles. It was week two after we had a preseason game in Kansas City that I had this sort of moment where I thought, okay, we can go forward with Courtney as the sometime point guard and sometimes, Liv, you're the point guard, or we can just get right to it. Let's just get right to it. And in week two, I brought Courtney in and I said, hey, I think we want to turn the reins over to live and let her just go.

18:05And she stood up and she said, let's, the only way Courtney can, let's go all height and I think it's the right thing and I can go back to my natural spot. And so that last week, that third week, boom, we just sort of took off. Nia Coffey having her best season in her career. It's about opportunity, as we're seeing around the league, whether it's expansion or a team like ours, maybe some dilution in our team. And so new opportunities around the league. And then Natasha Howard coming back and everybody just sort of fitting. That starting five really fitting. Really, really special through the first half of the season.

18:41Their net rating was darn near plus 20. And I've got a bench that we're, you know, they're still trying to figure me out, my impatience and how to fit in into that impatience. And, you know, yeah, it's hard to believe that we're sitting here first in a league and, you know, 20 plus wins. You know, I feel grateful.

21:17the perfect segue of why are you like this coach Cheryl I don't know if you heard me talking backstage but the the question I really want to get to in the show is that and I feel like I've had this question a million times in a million different ways and I think there's so much especially you've had such a long career you've been in the game so much. Why do you have to say it like that? Such a long career. Long and accomplished yeah but still young and bright and a long road ahead of you but you have like an established who you are in this league and I'm so interested I feel this for me of like I feel like there's two of me I'm like there's Megan Rapinoe and everybody knows that.

22:06You know, that's kind of like who's in front of the mic. And then like Megan's like inside of Megan Pino right now. And she's like, whoa, this is crazy. So there's two. I wonder if you ever feel that that sort of like divergence of personality where like, yes, you're Cheryl Reeve, the coach, Olympic coach, all star coach, coach of the Minnesota Lynx, like all time coach in this league. And then there's also just you. Do you feel those two things? And how do you feel them? The first one you describe, I don't think of myself as, and that's hard for me. I don't see that I am such a sort of grinder in the moment.

22:44And then I come to places like these, and then the gravity of the moment and maybe your impact, you start to feel that. But for me, it's just kind of where I am and what I'm doing that day and that practice. And I only know one way and that's to kind of pour in to what I'm doing there. So I don't feel like I have that. I'm the same. I mean, it's kind of scary for my family that what you see, I'm actually like that at home, you know, and that can be hard, you know, for that, you know, for those two in my life. But I'm by nature, a very critical person, very critical of myself, critical of those around me.

23:22I've tried to evolve in that space and be less critical, you know, and that's been an evolution, you know I'm still evolving as they say who shaped that part of you do you think who the critical just like the I mean part of it is the critical but also just like the Cheryl the coach the you know the wife the mom the like person that you are in the world um I'm not sure because I've kind of gone through that like am I more like my mom or my dad and you know who like what is it from I have those questions when you get older right like where does this come from who do I oh um you know like who do I thank um you know and so recently so my mom's 87 and uh you know recently you know people are asking her things and so she's doing a little more storytelling and and uh they asked you know somebody asked about sort of my stronger voice or willingness to you know to speak on things she said oh she was always like that such a smart mouth you know when she was you know just a youngster just always had something to say and I was like oh okay so I guess it's always been the case I have felt confident but there you know from a professional standpoint I think I've always been I was a point guard I remember in my freshman year when I went to LaSalle University and we were doing our fall workouts and I've just always had a way of sort of speaking you know whatever I was thinking and It's not always good.

24:52I don't mean to say this as like complimenting myself at all. It's not always good. Having a filter would be much better. Yeah, no, I've been there. I'm like, oh. But I remember we were playing pickup and I'm mad. We're just playing pickup. But I just, I wanted to win that possession. And, you know, and I'm yelling at my teammates that don't even know me yet. I'm telling them, you know, get back on D. Don't rest. Don't rest on defense. You know, like right away, I'm just kind of. And I think if you just take that and just put that everywhere, you know, like as a teammate, you know, as a partner, you know, probably as a mom, I think I'm a little softer as a mom.

25:28But I think the, you know, the idea of, you know, saying what you think there's value in the truth, right? I think that's, but I, that I've really kind of learned is not everybody really wants to hear the truth, you know, and sort of finding that balance of, I think you should surround yourself with people that are going to be honest with you. I think that's really important. I've shared that with Oliver when he didn't get the report that he wanted. I said, you should thank your teacher for that. And he thought I lost my mind. But it's true. You know, is there somebody to, like, you're not, nobody's perfect.

26:00There's always room to grow. Go back to what the original question was, because I'm starting to go on my tangents. I like it I'm like I'm locked in yeah just who shaped you yeah the shaping that part of you so so so when I first got the WNBA as an assistant coach again I you know I worked for you know some people that maybe my directness as an assistant coach wasn't always appreciated it was coming from a space of wanting to wanting to win but I thought everyone was confident you know in what they were doing. And when I started to recognize that maybe that wasn't the case, it was when I went to work for Bill Lambeer, um, that he, he embodied, um, the, uh, be yourself, how important it is for everybody to show up and be yourself.

26:48And he wanted me to be myself. And so for me, it was, you know, I could be hard hitting and I could speak my mind and that was okay. And that was sort of the first time that I thought how good that felt like to be able to be yourself. and then you know just you know when I went from there right into head coaching I feel like that gave me the confidence that everyone needs to be able to be themselves every player and their personalities or everyone that's working for you so you can bring your authentic self to the workplace and how what what you know great heights you can reach in doing that so I've just been able to do that players let me be me I am so every every season I thank the players thank you for letting me be me because it's not always easy.

27:28But they know that I'm coming from a place of care and love and wanting the best for everyone involved. That's such an interesting thing. I feel that so much of like, if everybody's allowed to bring their full self, it's not, it's going to be less comfortable, but it's going to be better for everyone. Certainly Bill was wanting to bring his full self. I mean, I think you have, at least on the outside from, I'm sort of like half in half out but from my view you have a real reputation of allowing players to be themselves in a really wide spectrum um I mean I think back to I feel like my real first like in entree into the Minnesota Lynx is 2016 and you know the players protesting police brutality Philando Castile has just been murdered in Minneapolis um your players are standing up you're standing with them all the way to like you know Maya Moore and her activism that you know eventually led her away from your team um I have some regrets yeah yeah you're like you know what good for you Maya love that for you um you know to the stud buds like they were too um you know really outspoken and they were like doing the stream and for such kind of like a a hard-ass coach or someone who says what they think and what they feel you really like let them do that and I'm curious about the I always feel like doing the right thing isn't 100 altruistic like there's you know at the end of the day like you're judged on your wins and losses and I'm curious how you think about that in in terms of letting your players be who they are in terms of your like coaching style and your strategy in trying to be the best coach that you can?

29:22Yeah, I think it's really simple, exactly what you said. Another recent one was, was obviously the stud buzz and we were in Dallas. And I guess they I'm not real up on this. And so it's probably for the better that I don't know a lot of this. But sometimes people send me things, you know. And so I was really unaware. This was Dallas in, I guess it would have been 2025. And we had just had our film session and we were breaking. We were going to go do our pregame meal. We're going to go out that game that night. And I get a message from Courtney and T saying they wanted to meet. And I thought, oh, that's kind of annoying.

29:59We all have our routines and like, why are we meeting now? Like, what are we doing? And so they bring me in and they sit me down and they go, we're worried. You know, we're worried. What are you worried about? Well, we're worried because I might have put a battery on Dijanae Carrington's back, who was playing for Dallas at this time, which means that maybe she said something on the stream that might have gotten her motivated, a little extra motivated that night. Apparently, she was maybe disparaging the lack of success that Dallas was having at that time. And she's like, I'm worried you're going to be upset with us.

30:31I'm worried you're not going to be okay with this. And so I said, well, tell me exactly what happened here, you know. and Courtney, I like, you know, we have, we have some good banter and there's a fine line. And I, I told her 10 years ago, maybe I wouldn't be able to be in the space that I am. So we always said the timing of us being together has really been important. I don't know that Courtney could handle me 10 years ago and me them, right? Because it really has stretched my boundaries and it's fun, right? It's really fun to kind of do that, but all of it while the team is successful. That's why I told them as long as the main thing is the main thing.

31:09And that's been stretched, you know, and I'm a big believer in you get what you accept. And so I wanted them to know how important it is that they are mindful of their teammates and how they feel. And it may be they're very comfortable in this very loud space, this very, you know, revealing, et cetera. But not everybody is. And so always considering your teammates and your organization, you know, make sure that, you know, that, you know, you're representing yourself, your family, your organization, all the things. So I, you know, I do that spiel. And then they assured me that, you know, it was all about winning and doing that.

31:45And so, you know, you mentioned the, you know, the activism and, you know, same thing, you know, when we went through, you know, in 2016, I don't know if you have time for this, if you're interested in this, in this part of this, but you are? Okay. Short answer, yes. And, you know, it was a really difficult time. You know, 2016 wasn't new in terms of what was happening with police officer-involved shootings or the racial profiling, etc. Simone Augustus had experience being racially profiled a couple of years before. I had some conversations with players and coaches, and we just talked about their experiences going shopping, going through a store and being followed, and just different things that sort of accumulated over time.

32:32and this particular one was hard. Simone Augustus in Baton Rouge, Alton Sterling had been murdered at the hands of the police and I remember thinking how difficult that was for Simone. Simone had frequented that store that had occurred in front of and so that was on our minds, having those conversations and talking about their feelings and then just a couple of days later, we were in Connecticut at the Mohegat Sun getting ready for a game with the Connecticut Sun. And we woke up to the news of Philando Castile on his awful murder in the hands of police in St. Paul, Minnesota. So it was really hitting close to home for us.

33:14And, you know, I learned a long time ago that when the unaffected are affected, that's when change can happen. I'm the unaffected. I'm white. I'm with privilege. and I was affected. And so I remember waking up and not really giving a shit about the game that night. I thought, how can I give a shit? How can I go into shoot around and demand this focus, this preparation? And we went and before shoot around, we gathered the captains, Lindsay, Simone, Maya, and Rebecca. And I told them how I was feeling. I said, I can't imagine how you all are feeling. And so we gave them the space to talk. And I said, let's do something.

34:00Let's use our voice for good. Let's use our voice for change. What do you guys want to do? And they thoughtfully, I said, I'll give them the space. And they thoughtfully came up with the idea of wearing T-shirts that represented some names that were just recently involved in the police officer involved shootings. You know, the phrase Black Lives Matter. in 2016 is very different than the phrase in 2026. And in between, it was a Thursday night, we had a game Thursday night, and then Saturday, we were going to be playing Dallas at home. And Friday, my job was to get on the phone and alert those key stakeholders to let them know that our players had made a decision.

34:44They were creating these t-shirts and they wanted to be thoughtful and change starts with us was what was on the front obviously on the back the names of those that were involved and by Friday evening there was a ambush of police officers in Dallas and so they quickly said we need to have that Dallas Police Department shield on that shirt and representing trying to represent everyone that we have to come together for some solutions by Saturday night there was a planned press conference by Saturday night I was already on the phone with the president of of the league at that time and my phone calls were calling to say this is what we're doing this wasn't asking for their permission their forgiveness or anything like that this was important that they understand that their support was so important at this time the president of the league at that time there was there were two hats that she was wearing She was wearing the hat of a commissioner, and she was wearing the hat of a black woman.

35:47And so I understood, and I told her I understood, but I told her I was going to take it out of her hands completely. And we're doing this. And by that night, we had a press conference as our four powerful captains stood in front. I was visited an hour before the game with the director of security at the Target Center, and I was told that the police officers walked out. and we did not have a secure facility. And they walked out because we had Black Lives Matter on our T-shirt. And I said, they're making the very point of what we're talking about. They're making the very point of what we're saying, that enact change, that we all have to be a part of this solution.

36:28And it was a lot to go through. I told them that it takes courage to stand in this because there's a lot that's going to come from this that's not going to be favorable. And I said, oh, by the way, and you have to win tonight. And you have to win tonight. Keep the main thing the main thing. When you don't win, keeping the main thing, because when you don't win, then people say, see if you're stuck to basketball and focus on the right things. So we wanted to make sure we could silence. And we won by 30 that night, as heavy as things were. We won by 30 that night. Thanks for letting me tell that story.

37:05Being on the right side of things is good business. We always say that. That's exactly right. I want to talk a little bit about your personal style of activism. You took this opportunity. You take every opportunity, whether it's in media, at a press conference. You have an unprecedented slogan shirt collection. It's well documented. It will be in a museum in Minneapolis at some point after your retirement. I can't even imagine how big your closet is. Just for the shirts, obviously. It just would be perfectly reasonable for you and most people do to just like wear a suit. Why don't you? Well, this was post-COVID.

37:58You know, the meta part of that. And so, you know, post-COVID, who wanted to go back to wearing suits? I look at some of the pictures and how silly I looked, wearing suits and heels. And, you know, and I thought, what a time that was. And so, you know, it was actually that decision of post-COVID of what were we going to do? What were we going to, we weren't wearing those things anymore. And so how could I rock my new style? And so I just wanted to, I want people to be seen, feel seen, heard. and there's just so many things that we could really champion for women and other marginalized groups and I just started doing that and I just heard from so many people what it meant to them and so we've continued that.

38:46No it really is I mean it's kind of like your signature now and it seems like such a small thing but it's really not. It's taking the opportunity every time to say like week i'm gonna wear this orange shirt because you know we care about gun violence or i'm gonna wear a shirt about abortion rights or black lives matter or whatever it is or you're wearing your players like you're supporting your players do you do you feel like i mean minneapolis has such a long history of protest i mean righteous protest um renee good alex preddy victims of ice this year. It's just like, it feels like it's always the first place that it really pops off.

39:28Do you feel like being in Minnesota so long, like, do you owe Minnesota something? Have you been shaped by it? Like, tell me about that relationship with the city in particular. Yeah, I mean, I think there's, you know, George Floyd, which was, you know, worldwide, you know, influence. I think that we've just been so good for each other. the Twin Cities communities in Minnesota. They've let me be me. Hopefully I've let them be them. And together we've been really, really good. And I feel, you know, you mentioned the ICE protest. And I feel so proud to be a part of the community. One of the decisions I made when I was hired to be the Minnesota Lynx head coach was I wanted to live in Minnesota.

40:13That was at a time when coaches were living somewhere else for six months. and then coming into market, you know, or flying in occasionally. And it was a really conscious decision that we wanted to be a part of the community. Best decision that I made and obviously now raising, you know, a beautiful child into, you know, the community and what he's learned and how he's been impacted. So incredibly proud of how we show up for each other. And it was on full display worldwide in what Minnesota did to support. and so I get energized and I feel empowered by living in the community. No, it's a really special.

40:54I mean, Prince performing at one of your guys' after parties after you won the championship is just incredible. Fucking iconic. Yeah, yeah, incredible. Iconic. I want to transition a little bit to your upbringing. You're from Jazzy. Yeah. Is that a decent accent in Jersey? South Jersey, Jersey. Yeah, Jersey. It's South Jersey. I mean, first and foremost, do you hate pumping your own gas? Yeah, you know, that's actually, did you guys know what she's talking about? Yeah. I feel like I half know what I'm talking about. Shout out to my producer, Courtney. She's like, you have to ask this question.

41:28It's really funny. It's annoying when you go somewhere, right? You know, when you just roll up and you put your window down and hand the card, right, in Jersey. Man, when you come to Minnesota in the winter, and I'm like, God, I wish I was in Jersey right now. when I'm pumping the gas it's like probably the only time that I kind of have that moment of like I wonder how we could get this you know

43:37um i always say that um little megan had lots of wisdom she was wild but she had lots of wisdom i want to talk about little cheryl for a bit what do you remember of like how you saw the world at that time like what are you saying your mom was always asking this question of you um you were born in Nebraska, but raised in New Jersey, not far from Philly. LeBron's going to Philly if people are interested in that. I don't know. Oh, he was supposed to be a Timberwolf. Yeah, tough, tough. What do you remember about that little girl and how you saw the world way back then? I just remember loving sports.

44:15I started at a young age. Softball was my first love. I was actually, you know, pretty, pretty decent in that sport. And I remember playing with the boys. so it was interesting that you know girls can play boys sports at that time because we didn't have you know we didn't have the opportunity to have our own teams and so I didn't think anything of it I just wanted to play I had two brothers one older one younger we were always doing something playing 500 in the backyard you know baseball emulating Chuck Foreman you know it was kind of wild that I end up you know being in Minnesota when the Vikings were you know a team that I really loved.

44:55Mostly it was the helmet, the purple and that little yellow thing. But then I became to love, you know, some of the players. And I just always wanted to, you know, be in sports and play. I don't remember, you know, obviously the things that you learn when you're older, how the world really works. I don't remember being aware. I remember my dad. I don't know if it was intentional. I'm still, you know, trying to figure that out, whether he was being intentional to empower his daughter or if this was just him being him, but he treated me the same as my brothers. I was right there with him when he was working on home improvement projects.

45:33He was very much a DIY guy. We didn't have a lot of money, so we did everything. I was right there with him, and I don't remember much. I remember, you know, a little bit further in life, you know, when you start to you know like learn about who you are and your sexuality and things like that then I realized that I knew when I was younger younger but that really wasn't necessarily what you did right so there's just so much and and it was high school you know you went through kind of learning who you are and kind of going I don't really know what this means I don't really care. I'm just me. I still to this day haven't come out anywhere.

46:15But it's isn't it obvious? I always was like, it is. Yeah. I mean, it's obvious, right? Well, you know, my dad actually asked me one time I was 16. And I had gotten maybe a note from a friend that maybe we feeling a little extra, whatever. It was a very long note, and I must have left it out. And dad found it. and it was a come back to the bedroom kind of conversation. And, you know, and he asked me, it was just him, you know, my mom wasn't there. And they said, my dad said, Cheryl, are you a lesbian? And I remember the word at that time. I was like, God, no, not a lesbian. I was more a dyke than I was a lesbian, right, at that age.

47:04I was. lesbian dad grow up I was I'm a dyke but I was going through you know I was in high school and and I tell my I tell my son this because you know this upsets him but I tell him it's okay um we were I was changing classes uh I was in between like it wasn't a change of class it was just a couple people in the hallway and and I remember walking down the hall and from a distance I hear someone yell dyke down the hall and it really hurt my feelings you know and I thought like well my gosh like what's like what's like why are we doing this years later I found out right it was a teammate and you know what I'm about to say they're a dyke yeah right they were they were the one um and so that's my it was like my journey and uh I always was able to you know sort of live my like my truth and even maybe when it wasn't supported in my in my upbringing.

48:04It wasn't, you know, like, hey, we love you no matter what. It wasn't necessarily that. I just, it was just, that's who she is. Like, but don't tell anybody, don't tell anybody else, you know, don't, let's not tell the family, you know, that sort of thing. But I've always been, fortunately, what I now know, unapologetically, myself, and I don't know where that came from, but I'm very thankful that's who I've been. Did you have a, like, a come to Jesus moment in coaching where I mean I think it's like no secret in the WNBA they really tried to push this like femme kind of like feminine straight vibe I think they tried to push it on players and coaches like when did you become comfortable we were just like I'm the motherfucker who throws the jacket on the floor and is like not ladylike you know it's so coded but you really are one of the the most prominent in like first go, maybe it was Bill Lambert, you know, he's more like a lesbian than we think.

49:06I don't know. But that moment where you're just like, you know what? Like I'm going to just, I'm just going to be me in this. Well, I, and I've said this recently, as I've reflected more on my career in the WNBA I was coming out of college coaching and college coaching in the nineties, you know, was absolutely brutal for those of us that knew who we were. you couldn't really be out which was just all really silly it's still silly anybody that is it's just it's unfortunate but that's what it was at that time societal norms that's that's what we were dealing with at that time and then there was all the code of you know like use against you and recruiting you know family atmosphere was the thing in the 90s and then I and Donovan giving me the opportunity to coach in the WNBA in 2001.

50:00I don't know if you guys heard the story, but she offered me$5 ,000 to be an assistant coach. And I was absolutely... Like total? In total. That was my salary. She's like, sure, I don't have much. My full-time position is filled, and this is what I have. And it was$5 ,000. And my family, I had two degrees, and I have an older brother who was, you know, very logical, you know, for him is like, everything is planned. And, and he was kind of like, you know, you do have two degrees, you know, and, and, but I was like, I really wanted it. I never thought twice about it and did it. And the WNBA has been so home for me.

50:42And that ability, when I got to the WNBA, what was most striking to me is that you could be yourself. I could be myself because I wasn't a player and I wasn't forward-facing. And the time that Megan is speaking to is when we were, you know, opportunities for commercials and promoting the league and go back and look at those photos of Sue and Diana and they look tough. Maybe Diana more like in drag. But, you know, it was like, it's not who they are, right? And you can kind of see it. It's like, what are we doing? You know, and they were still talking about changing the uniforms, right? So that they fit better, right?

51:25All this code, you know, stuff that we were dealing with. It's so exciting that the league, you know, now we have stud buds. I mean, come on, like now we have stud buds. And everyone loves it. And everyone loves it. And that's what I was gonna say it was really cool societal norms have changed right Megan you know like you've been such a big part of of pushing you know that forward and uh being ourselves as important and your bravery um and your time as an athlete uh and being able to show that you can you can you can have both and that you um that you are valuable um you know and and it's uh I think that that when that floodgate opened and now we have a league that everyone is so authentically themselves and how beautiful it is whether you are femme girl go ahead right right whether you're you know and so it's such an incredible time and so to see it go from where it was in 2001 to where it is in 2026 makes me really really proud yeah yeah yeah you've seen you've seen the span And was there ever a moment where you're just like, what am I doing?

52:34This is like, I feel like for the early builders of leagues, whether it's players or coaches, like I feel like there always just comes that moment where you're like, yeah, I've got two degrees and I'm making five dollars. This is this is tough. Like, did you ever doubt that moment or like you just knew I'm in the W and this is where I'm supposed to be? Well, not until 2003. So 2001, I was in Charlotte. And then 2002, we had a team that picked up in the middle of the night and left. The Charlotte Hornets left, right, and left the WNBA team behind. And so we lost the team. and then so it was after 2002 so 2003 I go to Cleveland the Cleveland Rockers with Dan Hughes at the end of that season so LeBron James was coming in to the NBA and Gordon Gund was the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Rockers at that time and he wanted to sell the team and so therefore that meant and I still don't understand it meant getting the books in order and so that That meant getting rid of the WNBA team first, and then they could then sell the, you know, sell the NBA franchise.

53:51And so in 2003, when that happened, that was the second team, you know, sort of in short order. And I remember kind of going, all right, this is kind of rough. And every year it was, is the league going to be here? Not just the team that I'm working for, but is the league going to be here? and when I was in Charlotte not only you know was it sort of you know difficult in terms of support from the NBA franchise but it went so far as you couldn't be in the facility the practice facility at the same time as the NBA team so just marginalized to the nth degree and it just you know felt kind of you know it was demoralizing at times and and it could be hard to believe in But in 2003, when we lost to Cleveland Rockers, I remember having a conversation with my older brother, kind of going, okay, here we are again.

54:41I'll be collecting unemployment for a little while. And that's what we did. You know, in the WNBA, you lost a team, collect unemployment for a little while, get your next job. You don't know what's next. And I remember kind of feeling like I didn't want to keep calling, you know, sort of with the same concerns. It was like I wanted to be the last call. it's kind of like when you know you guys are hearing out one of your good friends who's in a relationship that keep they keep calling you and telling you the things and you're like well yeah maybe maybe you should do something different or you know it was kind of like that I didn't want to be the one that kept calling my brother saying geez here I am again uh and so I remember kind of going this is a crossroads and I had it's it's it's still very um you know it for me and I feel it that I love the WNBA and I thought if it's going down I'm going down with it uh and I'm so glad that I had that that moment um and I had my brother going Jesus Christ you're you know can you go coach college again or something you know and uh and so um and my dad for many years you know wondered aloud when I was going to get a real job you know because it was like this summer I'd be away for six months come home for six months and my relationships that would be strained by it he's like what are you doing you know uh and uh you know he passed uh in 2008 so he never really kind of got to see this real job worked out uh you know you know pretty good for us oh well he would be incredibly proud and it is uh an incredible time for the W and certainly different from uh when you first started you've had some all-time quotes over the course of your career.

56:23Like truly all timers. I'm going to read you some of these quotes, just in a little rapid fire section. And you're just going to tell me if you would change anything

56:35or not, which I'm guessing I'm going to get some more knots. Okay. We should have done it for the gays. I would absolutely not change a thing. What was funny? Well, go ahead. Yeah. What was funny was that was my attempt at I don't handle losses very well uh and you know we lost and I I have been I've been really really focused on trying to be more graceful after losses and how's that going really good I did that that was my one-liner that was my attempt at levity bringing levity to the situation uh and I really didn't think much about it when I said it because when you're in media sessions I'm with media people that I see all the time I still haven't grasped the viral nature of maybe that something like that could you know could happen so um yeah I don't have any regrets and then like I think it was two days later you said we got our lick back for the gays yeah so you did bring it back I did I did um conflating a couple of things there I guess but moving on passing mike tebow for all-time wins in the wmba uh sorry mike we've had a lot of great battles wait uh well same thing it was very genuine very genuine uh you're like we have and i won most of them yeah no i mean he was he's he was such a a big part of my career in our relationship through the years and learned a lot from mike and he was such a supporter of mine and And so I don't know what else do you say.

58:13I mean, like he was happy for me and I said, I'll be happy for the next person. I love that. I do always appreciate your willingness and ability really to mostly keep up with the times. Quote, I ate all the way down.

58:30All timer. Oh, Lord. You're with it. You're what the kids call with it. I was with it. Yeah. I mean, I've had, you know, whether it's Oliver didn't teach me that all the way down. He gets embarrassed. Sometimes it's like, Mom, oh, God, Mom. But he learned about the clock it thing with Oliver, you know, clock it, clock that tea. Yeah. Right. Yeah. So. Yeah. So he's taught me a lot, which I really appreciate. It helps keep me current. He's being raised by the W also. So. Yes, he is. Yes, he is. He'll be a good man. Yes, he is. Okay. I'm going to try out a new segment game thing. We're going to see how it goes.

59:07It's called Mommy, Daddy, Baby. Forgive me, but we're just going to be sticking strictly to heteronormativity for the sake of the game. You guys will get it. What percentage of the below makes up Cheryl? And I'm going to give the definitions of each. Mommy is like emotional caretaker, mental load carrier, nurturer. She's doing it all. Daddy, protector, enforcer, self-insured. carrying heavy things. Like, what's he actually doing, though? You know, like, sometimes you're like, what's going on? And then baby, baby's just carefree, pampered, not lifting a finger, having an absolute ball. I'm 40 % daddy, 40 % baby, sometimes 90, and 20 % mommy.

59:59So, you know, I'm like, wow really really baby daddy is is where i'm at to give reference what was mommy again mommy is emotional caretaker mental load carrier nurture like she's she's doing it all she's got the ticker in her head my wife is here so i'm kind of looking what's the answer uh I think baby like zero um yeah well no Carly's saying no but it's not the right answer maybe 10 a little bit baby maybe 30 60 90 or 30 60 10 30 60 10 30 30 baby 60 daddy 30 mommy 30 mommy 60 no Carly that's wrong oh god this is so hard this is so hard who am I

I'm like, well, I'm just here. Yeah. Okay. One final question. Who should I ask? Why are you like this to next? Oh, wow. Why are you like this next? Well, I need some time on that one. Jeez. Okay. Anybody want to help phone a friend? Yeah. Maybe Courtney. Who?

Today we’re bringing you an episode of a new podcast called “Why Are You Like This? with Megan Rapinoe” from A Touch More and the Vox Media Podcast Network. 

Live from WNBA All Star Weekend, host Megan Rapinoe sits down with five-time All-Star coach Cheryl Reeve, the winningest coach in WNBA history. 

Cheryl Reeve has been head coach of the Minnesota Lynx since 2010. In addition to leading the team to four WNBA world championships, Reeve supported the Lynx’s 2016 protest against police brutality and continues to advocate for social justice issues in Minneapolis and beyond, including as an outspoken supporter of transgender athletes. 

Megan and Cheryl get into how she’s evolved as a coach, the WNBA’s legacy of activism and why she’s proud of a league where “everyone is so authentically themselves.” 

Why Are You Like This? is a co-production of A Touch More and Vox Media Podcast Network. New episodes every Thursday.
