Chicago Sky Appoint Latricia Trammell as New Head Coach Following Tyler Marsh’s Departure

In a bold move aimed at reshaping the future of the franchise, the Chicago Sky have announced that Latricia Trammell will take over as head coach following the departure of Tyler Marsh at the end of the 2025 WNBA season. The announcement was made by Sky CEO Adam Fox in an official press release on Wednesday morning.

This decision marks a new chapter for the Sky, who are looking to bounce back from a turbulent and underwhelming campaign. With the team currently sitting outside playoff contention and struggling with chemistry, injuries, and inconsistency, the front office made it clear that change was necessary—and Trammell, known for her discipline, defensive mind, and player relationships, is the leader they believe can bring the team back to prominence.

“We are thrilled to welcome Latricia Trammell to the Chicago Sky family,” said CEO Adam Fox. “Her track record as a motivator, a tactician, and a proven winner makes her the right person to guide this team into the future. Our players deserve a leader who will challenge them, support them, and help them reach their full potential—and we believe Coach Trammell is exactly that.”

Trammell’s Resume Speaks Volumes

Latricia Trammell, previously the head coach of the Dallas Wings, made a strong impression across the league for her defensive expertise and strong player development skills. Under her leadership, the Wings became one of the WNBA’s most physical and well-prepared defensive squads, regularly ranking among the league’s top teams in rebounds, blocks, and opponent field goal percentage.

Trammell also gained praise for her ability to build trust and accountability among young rosters. This is seen as especially important for the Sky, who are currently rebuilding around a young core led by Angel Reese, Marina Mabrey, and promising rookie Brynn Carlson.

“This is an incredible opportunity, and I’m honored to be joining the Chicago Sky,” Trammell said in a statement. “I’ve watched this team closely and know the potential it has. I’m here to instill a winning culture—built on hard work, defense, and unity. The fans of Chicago deserve a team that reflects their passion and toughness, and that’s what we’ll work to deliver.”

A New Culture in the Making

After a season plagued by locker room tensions, poor performance, and speculation around head coach Tyler Marsh’s future, the Sky are now looking to rebuild not only their record, but their identity.

Team President Nadia Rawlinson added:

“This is more than a coaching change—it’s a cultural reset. With Coach Trammell, we are laying the foundation for something sustainable and strong. Our message is clear: we are committed to building a team that competes, connects, and grows together.”

Trammell will officially assume her role at the conclusion of the 2025 WNBA season but is expected to begin meeting with players and staff in the coming weeks to prepare for the offseason and 2026 campaign.

With a respected leader now at the helm, fans in Chicago are hoping brighter days are ahead.
