About

Basketball.org is a collection of experts and an online community dedicated to enhancing the abilities of basketball players, teams and coaches worldwide through the use of innovative technology.

We not only intend to “give back” through our instruction and resources, but we also intend to give a portion of our proceeds to youth sports and other related charities.

The basketball knowledge behind the site begins with NBA executive and coach George Irvine. Coach Irvine has been involved in every level basketball in every manner: player, coach, manager; high school, college, and the NBA.

Much of George’s basketball knowledge comes from having worked with the best basketball minds and talents ever. His shooting knowledge comes not only from playing (his nickname was “Hawkeye” in the pros), but also from coaching incredible shooters such as Reggie Miller, Chris Mullin, Byron Scott, and more. His understanding of offense and defense comes from playing for and coaching with coaches such as Larry Brown, Alvin Gentry, and more. His ability to manage and value players comes from working in the front office with the Indiana Pacers with GM Donnie Walsh for almost 15 years, building and creating one of the most exciting and memorable teams of this era, the 1994-1995 Indiana Pacers. Through his years of experience in the game, he has in one form or another built his basketball knowledge spending time with these basketball greats:

  • Played For/Coached With: Tex Winter, Larry Brown, Donnie Walsh, Alvin Gentry, Al Bianchi, Mel Daniels, Doug Moe, Rick Adelman, Rod Higgins, Frank Hamblen, Gar Heard, Billy King, Larry Drew, David Twardzik, and more
  • Played With: Julius “Dr. J” Erving, George Gervin, David Thompson, David Twardzik, Charlie Scott, Fatty Taylor, Neil Johnson, Larry Brown, Doug Moe, Dan Issel, Swen Nater, Bobby Jones, and more
  • Coached or Managed: Reggie Miller, Chris Mullin, BJ Armstrong, Grant Hill, Ben Wallace, Antonio Davis, Rik Smits, Herb Williams, Clark Kellogg, Latrell Sprewell, Jerry Stackhouse, Joe Dumars, Dale Davis, Chuck Person, Wayman Tisdale, Byron Scott, Alex English, George McGinnis, Vern Fleming, Sam Mitchell, Christian Laettner, Lindsey Hunter, Chucky Atkins and many more

As you can see, the information on Basketball.org is a product of this incredible knowledge and understanding by Coach Irvine of the game of basketball.

We also have a select group of Contributors who devote much of their free time to writing and maintaining the site.
