The Dallas Wings are searching for a new leader after parting ways with head coach Latricia Trammell on Friday following an unimpressive season where her squad won fewer than 25% of their games.

Wings President and CEO Greg Bibb announced they'd fired Trammell after two years leading the team and thanked her for her efforts.

β€œAfter an extensive review of our basketball operations department, which included interviews and conversations with stakeholders across our organization, I have made the decision to relieve Latricia Trammell of her head coaching duties with the Dallas Wings,” said Bibb. β€œOn behalf of our entire organization, I thank Latricia for her efforts and wish her well moving forward.”

Trammell went 31-49 across her two seasons with the team, including 2-3 in playoff appearances.

The Wings finished the 2024 season in 11th place, with a 9-31 standing, missing the postseason for the first time since 2020.

Bibb said the decision aligned with previous "long-term strategic investments," such as the relocation to Dallas, the new practice facility and the renovation of the Dallas Memorial Coliseum.

β€œThese investments will best position the Dallas Wings to continue to be a leader on and off the court as the team pursues WNBA Championships while making a consistent positive impact in our community," Bibb said.

In addition to a new head coach, the Wings will also hire a general manager who will be responsible for hiring a new head coach.

β€œAs part of our year-end review process, and in conjunction with our organizational long-term strategic planning, I have decided to expand and strengthen our basketball operations through the hiring of a general manager who will oversee the day-to-day operation of our basketball group,” said Bibb. β€œThe search for this individual has already begun and I hope to have more news on this hire soon. The general manager will lead the search for the next head coach of the Dallas Wings.
