Cameron Brink's New WNBA Coach Facing Criticism For Controversial Coaching Philosophy

Cameron Brink's Los Angeles Sparks will have a new head coach in 2025 after the dismissal of Curt Miller two months ago and her name is Lynne Roberts. And already Sparks fans seem to be nervous that things may get worse before they get better.

Three days ago the Sparks announced that Roberts would be their new head coach. She departed Utah in the middle of her 10th season with the program to take the job.

Roberts held her introductory press conference yesterday and promptly made a comment that has a lot of fans concerned. She said that her scoring philosophy is "points per attempt" and "points per possession" before expressing that shooting around the rim and on three point shots are above all.

"Everything with scoring it comes down to points per shot attempt and points per possession. If you’re talking about points per shot attempt the highest quality shot is around the rim and threes," Robert said, via WNBA Central on X.
