If Coby Karl had a question about his craft, he could head down the hallway and knock on the door of an 11-time NBA champion. Or he could scroll through the contacts on his phone and call a coach who has won more than 1,100 NBA games.

"I couldn't really ask for a better situation," Coby Karl said.
