LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Las Vegas Aces Head Coach Becky Hammon announced Thursday the hiring of Ty Ellis as an assistant coach for the Aces.
“I’m super excited to add Ty Ellis to our coaching staff,” Hammon said.
He brings a wealth of experience both as a head coach and as an assistant from the NBA, G League and international play. Not only is his energy palpable, but his character and work ethic are things I highly value.
