DALLAS — Jose Fernandez was officially named the next Dallas Wings ' next head coach, the team announced Monday. Fernandez will fill the role that became vacated when the team fired its previous coach, Chris Koclanes, after just one season on the Wings bench.

The Wings, who have had just one winning season since the franchise moved to North Texas, hope Fernandez will help them take flight.

The Dallas Wings officially announced on Monday that their new head coach would be Jose Fernandez, who spent the last 25 years at the University of South Florida, leading them to 9 NCAA Tournaments in the last 13 years. That's a hard thing to do at a program like USF, and now he'll try to apply that to the WNBA.
