Currently, there are seven WNBA assistants who are former WNBA head coaches:

- Brian Agler (current assistant coach for Phoenix; former head coach for Minnesota)
- Shell Dailey (current assistant coach for San Antonio; former head coach for San Antonio)
- Nancy Darsch (current assistant coach for Minnesota; former head coach for New York)
- Lin Dunn (current assistant coach for Indiana; former head coach for Seattle)
- Linda Hargrove (current assistant coach for Washington; former head coach for Portland)
- Marianne Stanley (current assistant coach for New York; former head coach for Washington)
- Fred Williams (current assistant coach for Charlotte; former head coach for Utah)

Still counting Michael Cooper as the Sparks' head coach, there are currenly eight male head coaches in the WNBA and five female head coaches in the league. Of the seven current assistants who were former head coaches, five are women. Hmmm...
