Tanisha Wright’s time with the Atlanta Dream is over.

The Dream announced Wednesday afternoon it had fired Wright after three seasons leading the franchise. The announcement came days after the Dream were knocked out of the first round of the playoffs.

Wright was hired ahead of the 2022 campaign after a short run as an assistant with the Las Vegas Aces. She was hired to replace both Mike Petersen and Darius Taylor, who split the 2021 campaign as the Dream’s head coach after the organization parted with Nicki Collen the year before.

Wright led the Dream to double-digit wins in each of her three seasons, which is something the organization hadn’t seen since 2018, but she failed to mount a winning record. The Dream have had just one season over .500 in the past decade.

The Dream went 15-25 this season and reached the playoffs for the second straight season, but they were knocked out of the first round by the New York Liberty. The Liberty swept their opening-round series, 2-0.

Wright went 48-68 in her run as the Dream’s head coach.
