Sky add Latricia Trammell to coaching staff, replacing assistant Courtney Paris

The Sky announced Monday that they have added Latricia Trammell to their coaching staff as an assistant to head coach Tyler Marsh.

Trammell was the head coach of the Wings for two seasons, leading them to a franchise-best 22 victories in 2023, before being let go after the 2024 season. She served as a special assistant on the Sparks’ staff in 2025.

‘‘Latricia’s three decades of coaching experience and impressive résumé make her a thrilling addition to the staff,’’ Marsh said in a statement. ‘‘She’s produced impressive results at every level of her career and will be key in elevating the Sky.’’

Trammell becomes the second assistant on Marsh’s staff with WNBA head-coaching experience. Tanisha Wright led the Dream for three seasons before being let go and joining Marsh’s staff. She’s known as a defensive specialist who made the All-Defense team five times as a player.

As is the case with Wright, general manager Jeff Pagliocca values Trammell’s defensive acumen. It should help to complement Marsh, whose strengths are in player development and offensive schemes.

Trammell will replace Courtney Paris, Pagliocca told the Sun-Times. Paris served one season on Marsh’s staff, focusing on post development. She also served on Trammell’s staff with the Wings.

The Sky have four players under contract: forward Angel Reese, center Kamilla Cardoso, forward Maddy Westbeld and guard Hailey Van Lith. Veteran guard Courtney Vandersloot also has indicated she will return next year, and the Sky plan to bring over Slovenian wing Ajsa Sivka, the No. 10 overall pick in the 2025 draft.

The Sky will have the No. 5 pick in the 2026 draft in the spring.
