The Sparks need you to yell at them

Ever want to be a pro basketball coach in Los Angeles? The Sparks are interested.

Really, they are. Can you start yesterday?

The WNBA team said in a press release issued Friday that it is searching for an additional assistant coach. The release says: “Candidates ... should have extensive college experience and some professional level experience is preferred.” Inquiries and resumes should be sent by mail to Angela Bryant in the Sparks’ office at 888 S. Figueroa St., Suite 2010, L.A. 90017.

“We are looking to add one more assistant to give coach (Michael) Cooper the depth necessary to help achieve the results we all desire,” said Sparks general manager Penny Toler.

Apply sooner than later. The Sparks start their season May 17 at Phoenix; their home opener is June 6, also against Phoenix.
