2023 Pac-12 Coach of the Year Lynne Roberts Named Los Angeles Sparks' 16th Head Coach
Nov 20, 2024, 01:10 AM
Lynne Roberts has been appointed as the new head coach of the Los Angeles Sparks, becoming the 16th coach in the franchise's history, the team announced on Tuesday. Roberts leaves the University of Utah women's basketball program less than three weeks into the season, where she had been head coach since 2015. She led the Utes to significant success, including earning the 2023 Pac-12 Coach of the Year honors. This marks the second time in as many weeks that a WNBA team has hired a college coach. The Sparks are aiming to improve upon their previous 8-32 season under Roberts' leadership. Assistant coach Gavin Petersen, who has been with Utah for 10 years, has been named the interim head coach for the Utes.
