Carlisle has served as president of the National Basketball Coaches Association for 15 years and is a member of the Jr. NBA Leadership Council. He’s a staunch supporter of teaching youth how to play basketball the right way and how to love the game.
“The Jr. NBA is a global initiative to help develop young players, but also to create interest in the NBA,” Carlisle said. “Focus groups will tell you that when kids at a young age become interested in a certain sport, that interest stays with them throughout their lives.
