How do you become a basketball coach in the NBA?

Answer 1

Depends on the level you're interested in. Youth? Go to your local youth sports program and volunteer. Grade or High School? Get your degree and apply for a teaching job. If you have no background in Basketball, you may still get hired at schools with no tradition. My grade school coaches had books "how to coach basketball" "football for dummies". College? Not much of a chance unless you make a name for yourself in HS or know an athletic director. Basically, like anything else, you have to start small and work your way up...unless you know someone.

Answer 2

you're interested in a career as a professional sports coach, a Bachelor's degree is essential. Courses of study conducive to a career as a professional coach include physical education, sports medicine, nutrition and fitness, sports science, and sports management. Students in these programs will engage in a variety of sports, learning the game and how to coach it.

Answer 4

Well first off, new rule for the NBA is that you have to have at least one year of college education before going to the NBA. Second pretty self-explanatory: practice, the NBA dose not just let anyone get drafted. Some players don't make it to the NBA drafted, instead they may get put into the NBA Development League, the NBA D-League is a league where players that has potential, but need a little more work. Some make it out of the D-League like NBA player Jamario Moon. Bottom line it takes dedication and hard work to become a basketball player, and won't happen over night.
