Former Lakers’ star Derek Fisher named head coach of WNBA’s L.A. Sparks

As long as Sparks general manager Penny Toler doesn't force him to run the triangle, this should work. Derek Fisher, still beloved in Los Angeles as a Lakers' point guard who helped the team to five championships, has been named the head coach of the WNBA's Los Angeles Sparks. "I am thrilled to name Derek Fisher our next head coach," Sparks Executive Vice President and General Manager Penny Toler said in a statement.
