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.
