New Sparks coach Lynne Roberts knows turning around the franchise won't be easy, but she's determined to transform the Sparks into winners once again.
It's a new era for the Sparks once again. Longtime collegiate head coach Lynne Roberts enters into the spotlight as the Sparks' new coach, making the leap to the WNBA with the mission of revitalizing a franchise coming off its worst season in history. Over her 27-year coaching career, Roberts has successfully transformed college programs, achieving complete turnarounds at Chico State, Pacific and Utah.
The team is led by a young core featuring second-year players Cameron Brink and Rickea Jackson, alongside veteran and WNBA All-Star Dearica Hamby. 'We're going to do just fine, and I want to compete,' Roberts said. 'I want to win now. I know that's easier said than done, but I'm up for the challenge, and I can't wait to get started.
