Trammel spent four years as an assistant with the Sparks.
Before that, she was an assistant in San Antonio, where she coached  Dearica Hamby and Kelsey Plum.
She was known as a defensive-focused assistant.

She was hired as a Special Assistant to Head Coach Lynne Roberts.

Los Angeles is the [URL='https://stats.wnba.com/teams/opponent-shooting/?sort=Less%20Than%205%20ft.%20FG%20PCT&dir=-1']second worst defensive team[/URL] in terms of shots between 0 and 5 feet, allowing opponents to shoot over 63 percent (and on 24 attempts per game). They are also [URL='https://stats.wnba.com/teams/opponent-shooting/?sort=15-19%20ft.%20FG%20PCT&dir=-1']second worst[/URL] in terms of shots between 15 and 19 feet, allowing 46.5 percent from that range. They are [URL='https://stats.wnba.com/teams/defense/?sort=DEF_RATING&dir=-1']third worst[/URL] in defensive rating.

Given the team is only two games behind the eighth playoff spot and expect Cameron Brink to return, it certainly cannot hurt to add a defensive-minded voice to the huddle.
