 CollegeInsider.com
has had a longstanding relationship with the National
Association of Basketball Coaches. CollegeInsider.com
has always looked to assist coaches whenever possible,
which was something that prompted the NABC to work
with CI and in 2003 the two, created
AllCoachNetwork.com, which provides coaches with a
professional presence on the world wide web at an
affordable price.
The National Association of Basketball Coaches
(located in Kansas City, MO) was founded in 1927 by
Phog Allen, the legendary University of Kansas
basketball coach. Formation of the NABC began as an
emergency measure for the presentation of a united
opinion the Joint Basketball Rules Committee, then the
central governing authority of the game, announced
without notice that it had adopted a change in the
rules, which virtually eliminated the dribble. Allen,
a student of basketball founder James Naismith,
organized coaches to take a stand in a nationwide
protest, which successfully postponed the adoption of
the rule change for one year. It is worthy to note
that the dribble still is part of the game of
basketball. This marked the beginning of this
collective group of coaches to serve as Guardians of
the Game.
Since its inception, the NABC has contributed numerous
ideas and programs to help preserve and enhance the
positive aspects of college basketball. These
initiatives include establishing the original
Basketball Hall of Fame (Naismith Memorial Basketball
Hall of Fame), creating the format for today's NCAA
Basketball Tournament, supporting Coaches vs. Cancer,
and building the NABC National Collegiate Basketball
Hall of Fame as part of the newly conceived Sprint
Center Arena to be located in downtown Kansas City,
Missouri.
Since its beginning, the NABC has continually worked
to further the best interests of the game of
basketball as well as the players and coaches who
participate in the sport. In doing so, the NABC has
established the following goals and objectives to
pursue its mission:
-
To
promote the ideals of integrity, sportsmanship
and teamwork among men's basketball coaches and
the players whom they coach;
-
To
unify coaches on issues pertaining to basketball
at all levels;
-
To
provide member services which address the needs
of the coach professionally, emotionally,
financially, physically and spiritually;
-
To
encourage basketball coaches to serve as
community outreach agents who elevate moral,
ethical and educational values;
-
To
enlighten the general public, media,
institutional educators and athletic
administrators to the fact that coaches are good
for the sport and the young people whom they
serve;
-
To
work with the legislative arm of the NCAA on
issues that affect basketball and
intercollegiate athletics, in particular
identifying issues that not only benefit the
student-athlete but also the ability of the
coaching staff to work effectively and
beneficially within the institution.
