The Atlanta Dream named their new head coach on Wednesday — and he is one of college basketball’s winningest coaches.
Florida Gulf Coast University’s (FGCU) Karl Smesko will lead the Dream in what they hope will be a “new” and “dynamic” style of play.
Smesko has the third-highest winning percentage (.843) among active coaches in NCAA Division I women’s basketball history. He brings more than two decades of head coaching experience to the Dream.
The Dream fired Tanisha Wright last month. She was 48-68 in three seasons. The team was eliminated from the first round of the WNBA playoffs in back-to-back seasons.
