Jerry Stackhouse is a college basketball head coach.
The 19-year NBA veteran, who spent two years in the broadcast booth for the Detroit Pistons before getting into coaching, has had a tremendous career trajectory. He was hired as an assistant for the Toronto Raptors in June of 2015, and was named the head coach for the team’s G-League affiliate the following year.
All he did in his first season coaching Raptors 905 was lead them to the G-League championship, picking up Coach of the Year honors in the process. He quickly ascended to the radar of NBA teams, as he was a finalist for the Raptors’ coaching vacancy last offseason.
