James Posey is now back in the NBA, after some time in women’s college basketball and also a stint as a podcaster and blogger. He sees all of it as a journey to collect experience on the way to his ultimate goal, one he’s not afraid to proclaim. “I want to be a head coach at the end of the day,” he said. “I’m just keeping my head down, working hard and hopefully I’ll show enough progress to where the opportunity presents itself. Outside of that, I have fun every day. Every day is another day in paradise. I love what I do.”

The Washington Wizards announced today that they have named James Posey as an assistant coach. “We are excited to add James to our staff, as he brings championship experience both as a player and coach,” said Wizards head coach Wes Unseld Jr. “As one of the toughest defenders in the league and a clutch shooter during his NBA tenure, we will be able to lean on his playing and coaching experiences to help the development of our players.”
