Former North Carolina basketball and NBA star Rasheed Wallace has been named the head coach at NC Good Better Best Academy in North Carolina, according to a tweet from the program on Wednesday. It becomes the second head coaching job of Wallace’s coaching career, with a high school job being the head coaching job that he previously held. Wallace ended his NBA career in 2013 and then transitioned into coaching, working with the Detroit Pistons as an assistant coach for one year. He then didn’t coach again for a while until March of 2019, when Charles E. Jordan High School in Durham, North Carolina, hired him to be the head coach.
Jorge Sierra: Only two trade deadline acquisitions went on to average 20-plus minutes in the playoffs for the eventual NBA champion this century: Rasheed Wallace in 2004 Marc Gasol in 2019 That’s it, sorry.
@vera: Who’s the best trash-talkers you ever faced? Gary Payton: Basically Larry Bird was really marvelous. Reggie Miller could do it a lot, Michael would do a lot of things too but you really had to get him going. But the greatest one is me. Rasheed Wallace was good but he was doing it at the refs.
“You kind of go back to the old Detroit team that won it,” a longtime Western Conference scout said, referring to the 2003-04 Pistons, whose lone All-Star that season was Ben Wallace, a defensively dominant big man and Detroit’s sixth-leading scorer. “They just had a lot of really good players. “I thought Utah needed another star, but I’ve changed on that.”
