Former WNBA Coach Tanisha Wright Joins Chicago Sky as Assistant Coach

The Chicago Sky have struck a significant chord in their off-season strategy by announcing the appointment of Tanisha Wright as an assistant head coach, a move that comes as part of Tyler Marsh’s revamped coaching staff. Wright, the former head coach of the Atlanta Dream, who parted ways with the franchise earlier this month, brings a wealth of experience to the Sky, particularly in nurturing new talent.

Her expertise will undoubtedly be invaluable as the Sky focus on harnessing the potential of their promising first-round picks from the 2024 draft, Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso. With Wright’s insights and player development skills, the team is looking to establish a culture of success.

Wright’s illustrious 14-year tenure in the WNBA as a player, including a remarkable decade spent with the Seattle Storm, is a testament to her credentials. Her defensive prowess saw her earn recognition as a member of the WNBA All-Defensive First Team on five occasions, alongside two Second Team selections.

Tyler Marsh expressed his confidence in Wright’s abilities, stating, "Tanisha has built an outstanding resume as a player and coach in the WNBA with more than a decade of experience. With a long history of accomplishment and player development, she will help us to build a winning culture at the Sky." This sentiment captures the aspirations of the organization as they prepare for the upcoming season.
