Wings hire Curt Miller as general manager

The Dallas Wings named former Los Angeles Sparks head coach Curt Miller as their new general manager and executive vice president on Friday.

Miller, 56, coached the Sparks the past two seasons after serving as head coach (2016-22) and general manager (2017-22) of the Connecticut Sun.

"Curt Miller is a proven winner with deep experience building and leading WNBA rosters and staffs," said Wings president and CEO Greg Bibb. "I believe Curt's ability to construct winning teams as well as his success in coaching in the WNBA and beyond will prove invaluable for our organization as we continue our pursuit of a WNBA Championship."

Miller was a two-time WNBA Coach of the Year (2017, 2021) and the 2017 WNBA Executive of the Year with the Sun, who made the playoffs six consecutive seasons and twice reached the Finals.

"The potential of the Dallas Wings is immeasurable," Miller said. "With a new arena and practice facility on the horizon, a talented roster which is impactful both on the court and in the community, exciting positioning in the upcoming draft, a passionate and loyal fanbase, a fully invested ownership group, and a dedicated front office staff, now is the time for the Wings. As a veteran head coach and GM in the WNBA, I'm looking forward to bringing my experience, passion, and leadership to Texas while we strive to hang a WNBA Championship Banner in Dallas."

Miller's top priority is hiring a new coach to replace Latricia Trammell, who was fired after a 9-31 season in 2024.

Miller's WNBA teams compiled a record of 165-141, including an 8-32 finish with the Sparks this season.

The Wings also promoted Travis Charles to the role of assistant general manager and senior vice president and Jasmine Thomas to assistant general manager and vice president.
