In addition to his time as Head Coach of the Los Angeles WNBA Sparks, Cooper has been an Assistant with the Lakers and Nuggets, and Cooper has also worked for the NBA Development League’s Albuquerque Thunderbirds. Not only has Cooper been successful as a Head Coach (WNBA) and as a player in the NBA, he was a legendary defender. If Cooper is as good at teaching defense as he was at playing it, the Lakers should hire him.
