The aim of the World Association of Basketball Coaches (WABC) is to improve the standard of the game through improving the standard of those teaching the game. Therefore, the core activities of the WABC is dedicated to the basketball coaches’ development throughout the world which includes, among other activities, the organization of multiple coaching clinics worldwide as well as the production of coaching resources in several languages. In addition, the WABC is engaged in creating and developing a worldwide basketball coaches’ community, which is already composed by thousands of high level coaches from all countries around the world, with the purpose of creating a platform supporting the basketball coaches’ development through the exchange of knowledge. The WABC is also highly active in providing input and advice regarding playing and coaching standards and trends to the FIBA Technical Commission, thanks to the WABC Advisory Committee which is composed by current or former National or Head Coaches who have had exposure to international coaching or worked with players who have competed in international competition. All activities of the WABC are endorsed by and organized through FIBA (International Basketball Federation), the world governing organization.
Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
FIBA contacted me quite recently and asked if I am interested to be the member of the Advisory Committee, they told me what are the obligations to be the part of such a prestigious board of coaches worldwide. The only cause here is to help the game of basketball to develop by means of rules, clinics, by exchanging ideas. There are many people here who love the sport, and if I can help here in this direction by providing my experience together with everybody else, it will be great. I am honored to be the member of the committee, so I would like to thank Mr.Hunt, WABC President, for the invitation.
