Report: Vickie Johnson Expected to be Named Dallas Wings Head Coach

The Dallas Wings are expected to name Vickie Johnson as the team's next head coach, according to Chantel Jennings of The Athletic.

Jennings reported Johnson has not signed a contract yet and an official announcement is not expected this week.

If hired, Johnson would be the league's only Black woman in a head coaching position. The last Black woman to coach in the WNBA was Pokey Chapman in 2019.

Johnson was an assistant with the Las Vegas Aces in 2018. The Aces lost to the Seattle Storm in the 2020 WNBA Finals.
