My love of our game began while watching the 1970 New York Knicks win the NBA title. In 1995, while preparing for my first season as a head coach, I was able to spend time with the Hall of Fame Coach of those early 70’s Knick teams, Red Holzman. Honored! Fortunate! Grateful!

RIP Coach Adelman!
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.

Coach Thompson is a terrific coach and an even better person. I spoke at his coaches forum several years ago and had a great time. The year I spoke it was a Five Star reunion with Dave Odom and Pete Gillen the other speakers. Great event!
