The membership of the National Basketball Coaches Association joins the NBA family in mourning the passing of legendary Head Coach and Hall of Famer, Rick Adelman. Rick Adelman coached in the NBA for 29 years, serving as a Head Coach for 23 seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers, Golden State Warriors, Sacramento Kings, Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves. Over his coaching career, Rick won 1,042 games (10th all-time), was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2021 and received the NBCA Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award in 2023. Coach Adelman also enjoyed an eight-year NBA playing career with the San Diego Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers, Chicago Bulls, New Orleans Jazz, and Kansas City-Omaha Kings. Adelman will be remembered not only as a coach and a player, but also as a mentor to so many in the basketball community. Rick was a husband to Mary Kay for 56 years; father to Kathy, RJ, Laura, David, Caitlin, and Patrick; and a grandfather of twelve. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Adelman family during this difficult time.

I have great respect for Jonathan’s work dating back to my time at the NBA, but I respectfully disagree with his characterization of the NCAA’s approach to international players. The NCAA does not seek to exclude all international players. Rather, the NCAA seeks to implement common sense limits on whether, and the extent to which, international players who have played multiple seasons of high level pro basketball overseas have remaining NCAA eligibility. Getting this issue right is essential to preserve fairness and opportunities at predominantly taxpayer-funded American colleges for American kids who typically graduate from HS at age 18 and, as a practical matter, must immediately enroll in college if they want to continue playing high-level basketball.
