Congratulations to the entire @nyknicks coaching staff on winning the 2026 @NBA Finals!

[NBA Coaches Assoc. @NBA_Coaches]

The membership of the National Basketball Coaches Association joins the NBA family in mourning the passing of legendary Head Coach and Hall of Famer, Rick Adelman.

Rick Adelman coached in the NBA for 29 years, serving as a Head Coach for 23 seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers, Golden State Warriors, Sacramento Kings, Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves. Over his coaching career, Rick won 1,042 games (10th all-time), was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2021 and received the NBCA Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award in 2023. Coach Adelman also enjoyed an eight-year NBA playing career with the San Diego Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers, Chicago Bulls, New Orleans Jazz, and Kansas City-Omaha Kings.

Adelman will be remembered not only as a coach and a player, but also as a mentor to so many in the basketball community. Rick was a husband to Mary Kay for 56 years; father to Kathy, RJ, Laura, David, Caitlin, and Patrick; and a grandfather of twelve. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Adelman family during this difficult time.

This one hurts. Jason Collins was a pioneer. He had courage like you've never seen. He was an incredible teammate. And having him in Brooklyn at the start of my coaching journey meant so much. Those who knew him were blessed to call him a friend. You are already missed my brother. Rest in power. 💔

Very close friends Jamahl Mosley and JB Bickerstaff said they wouldn’t talk during the series, the only time they don’t talk all year. But before tip, Mosley waited at halfcourt so the two coaches could give each other a Game 7 hug.

Mike Brown: "I give my entire staff––Chris Jent, Brendan O'Connor, Rick Brunson, Darren Erman, Ricky Fois, TJ Saint, Mo Cheeks, Mark Bryant, Chuck Allen, I know I'm forgetting, Jordan Brink, Joe––I don't know how to say Joe's last name (Ahelegbe) Joe I'm sorry––Peter Patton, I could go on, Billy Lange, on & on about the guys that carried me, and I'm the one sitting up here. Those guys were phenomenal getting us prepared & throughout the the series…I take my hat off not only to our players but my entire coaching staff including the video room & the performance group"

[Michael Scotto @MikeAScotto]

OKC Thunder coach Mark Daigneault: “I just saw Mike Muscala on the court and it reminded me that he was such a huge part of our build early on. There are more than a few people that were a huge part of that that weren’t here for the last couple of years to see the fruits of that labor, but he’s certainly one of them. I’m happy to see him coaching. He’s a great man. He’s going to have a great career in coaching. Congrats to him on his first season.”

Congratulations to former @memgrizz Assistant Coach Joe Boylan on publishing a recent article in @TheAthletic highlighting how the rise of basketball analytics has had a major impact on the intellectual shift in sports history.

Read how Boylan’s evaluation of the analytics revolution in basketball is an important tool to measure performance and optimize decisions but it comes with a limitation, a player’s full impact is not always reflected in the box score. His coaching philosophy reflects that a balance of the use of data as a measurement or goal and your instinct gives you a competitive advantage in today’s game.

Keep up the great work Coach!
