"I couldn't be more excited at the opportunity to coach Tina," said Storm head coach and general manager Brian Agler. "I've been coaching against her for more than a decade and I sure prefer having her on my side."
An eight-time All-Star during her 15-year WNBA career, Thompson averaged a career-low 9.9 points last year.
The Storm also re-signed forward/center Ewelina Kobryn.
