About the National Association of Basketball
Coaches
Located in Kansas City, Mo., the NABC
was founded in 1927 by Forrest "Phog" Allen, the legendary
basketball coach at the University of Kansas. 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 has nearly 5,000 members consisting primarily of
university and college men's basketball 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. Additional information about the NABC, its programs and
membership, can be found at www.nabc.org.
