The Atlanta Dream fired coach Michael Cooper on Tuesday after plummeting to their worst season since 2008.
The WNBA team said it “decided to part ways” with Cooper, the former Los Angeles Lakers star who guided the team the last four years.
With leading scorer Angel McCoughtry deciding to sit out this season to rest, Atlanta struggled to a 12-22 mark that included a nine-game losing streak in July and August. It was the Dream's worst showing since a 4-30 record in their inaugural season as an expansion team.
