Wings hire Curt Miller as new GM
The Dallas Wings named Curt Miller its new executive vice president and general manager, the team announced.
"Curt Miller is a proven winner with deep experience building and leading WNBA rosters and staffs," Wings president & CEO Greg Bibb stated. "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 most recently served as the head coach of the Los Angeles Sparks over the last two seasons. The Sparks went 25-55 and missed the WNBA playoffs both years. The two sides mutually agreed to part ways Sept. 24.
Prior to L.A., he spent seven seasons as head coach of the Connecticut Sun, also serving as general manager for his final six years. Miller was crowned the 2017 WNBA Executive of the Year and was a two-time Coach of the Year (2017, 2021). He led the Sun to a 126-66 record, with six consecutive playoff appearances and two trips to the WNBA Finals.
"I'd like to thank Greg Bibb, Bill Cameron, and the rest of the partners for this incredible opportunity. The potential of the Dallas Wings is immeasurable," said Miller. "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."
Miller will be tasked with finding the Wings' next coach. The team parted ways with Latricia Trammell on Oct. 18. They will also be selecting no worse than third overall in the upcoming draft due to a pick swap with the Chicago Sky.
"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," said Miller.
The Wings finished the 2024 season with a 9-31 record, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2020.
