After the abysmal season, the Dallas Wings are looking to make changes in the entire squad, including the back-office staff. As rumors suggest, Sandy Brondello is the top candidate for the Wings’ head coach position, with Paige Bueckers as the centerpiece of the development.
The player at the moment is making the most of the offseason, working on her skills and also attending games outside basketball. She was at the Cotton Bowl Stadium for the Texas Longhorns vs. the Oklahoma Sooners football game.
