Great work by Leo Zevin from NBA.com in highlighting the Coaching Development Program and its success in creating pathways for former players to transition into coaching at the highest levels of basketball.
Read how this initiative helps current and former players develop the skills needed to succeed in coaching through technical training, networking opportunities, mentorship, and hands-on experience. The program’s impact is exemplified by Atlanta Dream Assistant Coach and former Portland Trail Blazers Assistant Coach Edniesha Curry, who not only participated in the Coaching Development Program but now serves as lead mentor – an example of the full-circle impact on the next generation of coaches.
