A native of Reading, Pa., Chris Finch has been all over the world during his basketball career, playing collegiately in his home state at Division III Franklin & Marshall, before becoming a successful professional player and coach in Great Britain and Germany. One of the biggest highlights of his career came in the summer of 2012, when he served as head coach for England, the host of the 2012 London Olympics.
Finch, who was officially hired by New Orleans as an assistant coach June 6, is spending a couple days this week experiencing the Western portion of the United States, making the 20-hour-plus drive from Denver to New Orleans.
