His NBA experience was short-lived. The Blazers have announced that they are parting ways with their assistant coach, Edniesha Curry, just a year after she was recruited by Chauncey Billups. She became the first woman in franchise history to hold such a position.
” The franchise appreciates his considerable contribution within the coaching staff last season and his development of young talents during the Summer League, but we have decided to take another direction and wish him the best in his future endeavours.“, wrote the franchise.
The 43-year-old technician already has a CV provided with experiences related to player development in Israel, China and Vietnam. She also served on both the men’s and women’s teams at the University of Maine before joining the Portland bench last season.
She currently coaches the U.S. Virgin Islands national team, becoming the first woman in AmeriCup history to coach a senior men’s team.
