Ed Cooley One of Five New Appointees to NABC Board of Directors
Ed Cooley has been named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Board of Directors for the 2016-17 season, the organization announced on Wednesday. Cooley joins Bill Coen (Northeastern), Frank Martin (South Carolina), Matt Painter (Purdue) and Gary Waters (Cleveland State) as five new appointees for this year. The NABC was founded in 1927 by Forrest “Phog Allen” and the main purpose of the organization is “to further the best interests of the game of basketball as well as the players and coaches who participate in the sport.” The NABC founded such programs as Coaches vs. Cancer, Reese’s College All-Star Game, which LaDontae Henton participated in back in 2015, and is involved in governance of NCAA basketball at all three levels.
“We are very pleased that Bill Coen, Ed Cooley, Frank Martin, Matt Painter and Gary Waters have agreed to join our board of directors,” said NABC Executive Director Jim Haney. “They have all been active with committees and various NABC initiatives while bringing a broad perspective and additional diversity to our board.”
