KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) today announced that Purdue head coach Matt Painter has been appointed to the organization’s board of directors.
Northeastern University’s Bill Coen, Ed Cooley of Providence College, Frank Martin of the University of South Carolina, Purdue University’s Matt Painter and Gary Waters of Cleveland State University join the board in 2016-17. They fill one vacancy to replace 2015-16 NABC President Ron Hunter of Georgia State University and four vacancies created by coaches who are no longer actively coaching.
“We are very pleased that Bill Coen, Ed Cooley, Frank Martin, Matt Painter and Gary Waters have agreed to join our board of directors,” said NABC Executive Director Jim Haney. “They have all been active with committees and various NABC initiatives while bringing a broad perspective and additional diversity to our board.”
Painter is entering his 12th season as the head coach of Purdue’s basketball team, owning a 238-134 record with the Boilermakers. He is one of six coaches in league history to win at least three Big Ten Coach of the Year honors and he recently signed a three-year extension to remain at Purdue through the 2021-22 season.
