The Jr. NBA Coach of the Year program recognizes and celebrates youth basketball coaches that honor the game by demonstrating leadership and integrity, exhibiting a positive attitude towards all players, coaches, parents, and referees, and creating a lasting impact on young people both on and off the court.
This is a voluntary initiative in which All NBA, WNBA, and NBA G League teams are invited to participate and award select one local winner to be named their team’s local Coach of the Year. The pool of local winners will be entered into the national selection process and narrowed down to eight (8) semifinalists, three (3) finalists, and ultimately one (1) national Jr. NBA Coach of the Year winner.

Training Philosophy
“You can practice shooting eight hours a day, but if your technique is wrong, then all you become is very good at shooting the wrong way. Get the fundamentals down and the level of everything you do will rise.” - Michael Jordan
It is imperative that coaches and trainers understand the tools and fundamentals that have been proven to make players successful, and more importantly they must know how to communicate and teach these skills so that they can motivate and inspire each player, regardless of age or skill level, to reach their full potential.
Many young players have the desire and drive to improve in basketball, but few are being taught the specific fundamentals and techniques that it takes to succeed. Our goal is to teach and reinforce these proven techniques in a fun, positive, and disciplined manner to encourage dedication, fortitude, and a life-long love for the game of basketball, and the Charlotte Hornets.
