At the start there must of been somewhere down the line because it can't just start off first ever teams with a coach who has played professionally if the sport has just begun, but I'm not old enough to name them D:
Coaches like Jim O'Brien - Pacers Gregg Popovich - Spurs Stan Van Gundy - Magic never played in the NBA and just studied basketball for the life of coaching.
Iin Shanghia, china basketball international school.
No Preston Pearson went to the University of Illinois and excelled at basketball. He never played college football.

Michael Jordan never played another sport after basketball professionally. But he did do videos on how to play basketball, he mainly taught his son Marcus after retiring. MJ is the god basketball
Yes, there are several head coaches at the DI-FBS level that never played (and there are some coaches at the NFL level). You can certainly coach at the high school level.
