About the National Association of Basketball Coaches
Located in Kansas City, MO., the NABC was founded in 1927 by Phog Allen,
the legendary University of Kansas basketball coach. Allen, a student of
James Naismith, the inventor of basketball, organized coaches into this
collective group to serve as Guardians of the Game. The NABC currently
claims nearly 5,000 members consisting primarily of university and college
men's basketball coaches. Associate memberships also are afforded to athletic
directors, conference commissioners, faculty members, officials, and high
school coaches. All members of the NABC are expected to uphold the core
values of being a Guardian of the Game by bringing attention to the positive
aspects of the sport of basketball and the role coaches play in the academic
and athletic lives of today's student-athletes. The four core values of
being a Guardian of the Game are advocacy, leadership, service, and education.
