Chris DeMarco tells The Post what hell bring to Liberty, thing he learned most from Steve Kerr

First-year Liberty coach Chris DeMarco takes a timeout for some Q&A with Post columnist Steve Serby, before the WNBA season tips off later this week.Q: How would you describe your leadership style? Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Madeline Kenney about all things Liberty and WNBA.A: I would say connected.

I want my staff connected.I want my players connected on the floor.

It’s big for me to build relationships, to build trust.I’ve really tried to bring our words to life in terms of when we’re talking value, culture, identity, really explain what those mean.

If the players understand that I care about them and I care about their careers, and they understand that our staff does, then anything we’ll do is to get them better and get this team better, right? We’re not just going to have you go through 20, 30 minutes of some individual work that isn’t going to fit into what we’re doing offensively or defensively.I want to elevate all of our players, and I want to play a lot of people, and I believe in this roster and I believe in the talent and more than anything I believe in the people that they are and their character.

It’s in front of ’em.I’m honest.

I will say what’s on my mind.I will correct if I need to correct.

I would rather have the conversation now than later where we want to get ahead of conflict and all that stuff.Q: Longtime Golden State Warrior Draymond Green once said of you: “He’s not afraid of confrontation.”A: Draymond said that (laugh)? We spent a long time together.Q: Why aren’t you afraid of confrontation?A: We’re all trying to win.If you keep the ultimate goal in mind, all that other stuff shouldn’t matter.

We’re all trying to win, we’re all trying to get better, we’re all trying to accomplish something.And if there’s a disagreement that’s going to happen it’s not supposed to be smooth.

People don’t watch sports because it’s smoot...
