There really isn't an age minimum for coaches. For head coaches, it is more of a requirement that a coach has been coaching a position (quarterback, linebacker, etc) for an amount of time. The youngest head coach in Division 1 football is Pat Fitzgerald of Northwestern who will turn 34 on December 2. He became Northwestern's head coach in 2006 at the age of 31. His first job coaching in college was as the linebacker coach for the University of Maryland at the age of 21. A person in their early 20s, just after graduating from college, can land a job as a position coach.

Larry Brown is that coach. And most recently Brown at the age of 71 will soon sign a deal with Southern Methodist University to coach their basketball team.
age is 42
This is a hard question to answer because most people who play start at the age of 11 and you can play for as long as you like. My coach is 65 and has played since he was 12. So there isn't really an 'average' age.
The average age group for little tikes basketball hoops according to the little tikes website, is between 6 and 11 years of age. However, it can really be enjoyed by anyone.
While Larry Bird may have been a fan of other sports, most biographies about him say that he gravitated towards basketball as a kid, and continued to focus entirely on basketball throughout his athletic career-- in high school, college, and the NBA. There have been a few basketball players who tried to play other sports (for example, Michael Jordan tried to become a pro baseball player, but his efforts were unsuccessful); however Larry Bird decided at a young age to make basketball his life, and that is what he did-- first as a player, and then as a coach.
No. I don't think so. Unless you are 25 or older, it makes a difference. The right age in college basketball is around 18-23.
I'm 6' 1" but I play basketball and am tall for my age. I am an early bloomer, but the average height is about 5'7"
After high school, at the average age of 18-20
Greg Oden averaged 15.7 points per game in college. Greg Oden played college basketball at Ohio State University until 2007.
