The New Orleans Pelicans revealed their inaugural coaching staff for their first year partnership with the Erie Bayhawks and it includes Greivis Vasquez, the team’s new associate head coach.
“Who doesn’t want to work in the NBA?” Vasquez told me. “Who doesn’t want to coach in the NBA? This is a really good start and I’m thankful for the opportunity.”
I caught up with Vasquez at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports in Orlando, Florida where Vasquez spent the week mentoring the boys and girls of Jr. NBA Global, an organization committed to “teaching children the fundamentals of the sport, life skills and core values,” according to NBA Senior Vice President David Krichavsky.
