Dallas Wings soar into new era, introduce new head coach

The Dallas Wings officially introduced new head coach Chris Koclanes on Thursday during a Zoom press conference.

Koclanes is currently in his second year as an assistant coach at the University of Southern California and has over a decade of WNBA and Division women’s coaching experience.

Latricia Trammell, former Wings head coach, was let go in October after two seasons with the organization. She led the team to a 22-18 record in her first season, the best since the franchise relocated to Dallas. That season was capped off with a trip to the WNBA semifinals.

A year later, Trammell was unable to overcome a season riddled with injuries, finishing the year 9-31 and missing the postseason.
