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 claims 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
