The 11th-place finish in the 12-team league represented a major step backward from her first year in 2023.
The Wings were 22-18 and reached the WNBA semifinals in 2023 before being swept by the eventual champion Las Vegas Aces.
“After 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,” team president and CEO Greg Bibb said in a statement. “On behalf of our entire organization I thank Latricia for her efforts and wish her well moving forward.”
Trammell, 56, was an assistant coach with the WNBA’s San Antonio Stars (2017) and Los Angeles Sparks (2019-22) before taking the reins in Dallas.
The Wings also are searching for a new general manager following the departure earlier this month of Amber Cox to the Indiana Fever.
The new general manager will lead the search for Trammell’s replacement, Bibb said.
