A new coaching position opened in the WNBA on Friday when the Dallas Wings announced Latricia Trammell was fired after two seasons with the team.

Trammell is the fourth coach to be fired since the WNBA regular season ended in 2024, joining Los Angeles’ Curt Miller, Atlanta’s Tanisha Wright and Chicago’s Teresa Weatherspoon. The Dream were the only team to make the playoffs this year.

Trammell led Dallas to a 22-18 regular-season mark in 2023, the franchise’s best record since 2008, when it was still in Detroit as the Shock. The Wings advanced to the WNBA semifinals, where they lost to the eventual champion Las Vegas Aces.

But this year, with star forward Satou Sabally out of 25 of 40 games with a shoulder injury and her commitment to the German national team for the Olympics, Dallas was 9-31.

Amber Cox left the role of Wings chief operating officer after the season to become COO and general manager of the Indiana Fever. With Cox gone, Wings president and CEO Greg Bibb said he will work with a new coach to hire a general manager.

“As part of our year-end review process, and in conjunction with our long-term strategic planning,” Bibb said in a statement, “I have decided to expand and strengthen our basketball operations by hiring an overall director overseeing the day-to-day operations of our basketball group has already begun and I hope to have more news about this appointment soon. The general manager will lead the search for the next head coach of the Dallas Wings. “

The Wings will be part of the 2025 WNBA draft lottery, which will take place on November 17 on ESPN, and must also prepare for the Golden State Valkyries’ expansion draft on December 6, for which all current teams can protect six players. The Valkyries hired former Aces assistant Natalie Nakase as head coach on October 10.

The Wings franchise started in Detroit in 1998 and won three WNBA championships there before moving to Tulsa in 2010. After six seasons in Oklahoma, the team moved to Dallas in 2016 and became the Wings.

They will now hire a fifth coach since moving to Dallas. The Wings also briefly had an interim coach at the end of the 2018 season.

The Wings play at Texas-Arlington’s arena, College Park Center, but plan to move to downtown Dallas in the coming years.

“The investment in human capital in our basketball group aligns with other long-term strategic investments we have made in our organization,” Bibb said. “Including our move to the city of Dallas, highlighted by a new practice facility and the renovated Dallas Memorial Coliseum. These investments will best position the Dallas Wings to remain a leader on and off the court as the team pursues WNBA championships while making a consistent positive impact in our community.”
