The Los Angeles Sparks are reportedly finalizing a deal to make Curt Miller their next head coach, per Rachel Galligan of Just Woman’s Sports.
Miller will be coaching the Sparks for the second time. He worked for the Sparks as an assistant in 2015 before he took over as the head coach of the Sun. According to Galligan, the Sparks are only hiring Miller as head coach despite his additional job as GM of the Sun.
The 2x WNBA Coach of the Year holds over 30 years of coaching experience and an overall record of 426-210 (.67) at the collegiate and professional levels. Sparks needed a proven winner and veteran coach – but most importantly a builder to get the franchise back to contention.

Miller is a two-time Coach of the Year and holds an overall record of 426-210 at the collegiate and professional levels. Miller will be tasked with rebuilding the Sparks into a contender. The veteran coach will replace Derek Fisher, who was fired during the regular-season. The Sparks enter free agency looking to re-sign their starters, which are set to hit the open market.
Connecticut is the third franchise to start a coaching search after Dallas and Indiana.
