The 2022-23 NBA season doesn’t tip off until October, but second-year Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups is gathering coaching experience outside the franchise. In a piece for USA Today High School Sports, Logan Newman covered the lessons Billups learned while coaching at a Basketball Without Borders (BWB) camp Aug. 28-31 in Cairo, Egypt.
64 boy and girl basketball players aged 18 or under attended the four-day event from around Africa. They received instruction in basketball drills and life development from NBA coaches, including Billups and Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, as well as NBA players like Mo Bamba and Malcolm Brogdon.
