Entering her 13th season with the Sparks, Penny Toler is the longest standing general manager in the WNBA. She was named Executive Vice President on October 11, 2012 after serving as Vice President/General Manager since 2010 and general manager for the past twelve years.Her skill at roster-building bringing some of the most talented female athletes in the world to Los Angeles and keen sense of basketball operations are complimented by her years as a professional athlete. Through her experience she has assembled the rosters of two back-to-back WNBA championship teams with the Sparks in 2001 and 2002.

Tolers responsibilities include a variety of duties year-round, with overall attention to the day-to-day management of the team. Her areas of oversight include contract negotiations, salary cap relations and strategy, and the scouting of collegiate and international players. In addition to those tasks, she also works in various marketing, public relations and other management capacities.

Toler retired from playing professional basketball in November 1999 with a combined 13 years overseas/WNBA experience to become the second general manager in team history. In just two years, Toler became the fastest person in any mens or womens professional sports league to win a championship after transitioning from a playing career to general manager. Toler delivered the fi rst WNBA Championship to the city of Los Angeles by dethroning the four-time WNBA champion Houston Comets (2001).

In her 12 seasons as General Manager, Toler has guided the team to the WNBA Playoff s 10 times (2000-06 and 2008-10), as well as three conference championships in 2001, 2002 and 2003, to go along with the pair of WNBA titles. In an eff ort to advance the womens game, Toler was a strong advocate in implementing the 24 second shot clock and turning the two, 20-minutes halves into four, 10-minute quarters.

Toler has also been a member of the USA Basketball Womens Competition Committee where she assisted in the selection of three gold medal winning teams: the 2002 World University Championship games, the 2004 Olympic team and the 2008 Olympic team.

Toler made history again in 2006 when her No. 11 Sparks jersey became the fi rst female athletes jersey to be retired at the STAPLES Center in recognition both of her playing and management career.

She scored the fi rst basket in WNBA history on June 21, 1997 vs. the New York Liberty, and fi nished the inaugural season as the Sparks second leading scorer with 13.1 ppg. Toler also shot 41.7% from three-point range in 1997 ranking her second in the WNBA while she fi nished fi fth in the league in assists at 4.8 per game. Toler again ranked among the league leaders in assists and three-point accuracy in 1998, and retired after the 1999 season with WNBA career averages of 10.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 88 games played.

Toler graduated from Long Beach State University in 1989 where she set several school records including career assists (513) and career free-throw percentage (.795). A member of two Final Four teams, (1987 and 1988) under Coach Joan Bonvicini, Toler earned Kodak All-America honors, Pacifi c Coast Athletic Association Player of the Year and Co-Big West Player of the Year recognition in 1988 and 1989.

Tolers impressive collegiate career was recognized with her induction into the LBSU Hall of Fame in 1995 and a jersey retirement ceremony in 2007 by the 49er Athletics Department.

Beyond the WNBA, Toler combined her sense of community and business savvy and began her Points from Penny program in 1998. The goal of the program is to teach youth in the Los Angeles and Las Vegas areas the fundamentals of basketball, the importance of teamwork and the value of competition.

Since that time she has focused on bringing the same type of community-oriented programs to the Sparks front offi ce.

After being named the WNBAs 2012 Coach of the Year, Carol Ross returns for her second season at the helm for the Sparks. With Ross leadership, the Sparks 24-10 record in 2012, third best in the WNBA, was an nine-game improvement over the previos year, accounting for the second-largest turnaround in franchise history. Earning the second seed in the western conference, Ross and company returned to the postseason after a year off in 2011 and to the conference fi nals for the fi rst time since 2009.

Ross was named Los Angeles Sparks head coach on January 5, 2012, bringing over 25 years of coaching experience to the STAPLES Center sidelines.

Prior to her tenure in Atlanta, Ross amassed a 324-161 (.668) record in 16 seasons as an NCAA Division I head coach in the highly-competitive Southeastern Conference, guiding her teams to 12 NCAA Tournaments and two WNIT appearances.

In 2006-07, Ole Miss reached the 20-win plateau for the fi rst time in more than a decade and advanced all the way to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament.

Ross also developed a reputation for developing WNBA talent at Florida, where she remains the winningest coach in school history with a 247-121 (.671) mark over 12 seasons and was a fi nalist for the Naismith National Coach of the Year in both 2001 and 2002. The Lady Gators who had never received a bid to the NCAA Tournament before Ross arrival in Gainesville appeared in nine NCAA Tournaments over her last 10 years. Florida averaged over 20 victories per season during her 12-year tenure, and almost 23 wins over the last 10 years.

Also active in USA Basketball, Ross has served as an assistant coach with the 2005 Under-19 World Championship team that won the gold medal as well as head coach of the 1998 USA Womens Select Team that went 7-1.

Ross earned her bachelors degree in Education from Ole Miss in 1982. Ross was a four-year starter for the Lady Rebels from 1978-81, when Ole Miss logged a 93-50 record. She became the fourth womens basketball player ever to be inducted into the University of Mississippi Athletic Hall of Fame when she was honored on Sept. 1, 2001.

After earning her degree, Ross served as a volunteer assistant at Belhaven College in Jackson, Miss., for one year before returning to the SEC as an assistant at Auburn from 1983-90. During that time she advanced from graduate assistant to top assistant and chief recruiter. She played a key role in the schools development and maturation into a perennial NCAA Tourney team.
