D-League coach (and DQ owner) Joe Wolf on NBA's radar

Posted Jan 18, 2008

Joe Wolf has a lot of the requisite qualities [of an NBA coach]. Not only was he influenced heavily by his four years of playing for Dean Smith, but Wolf also is part of the Carolina brotherhood that has produced Larry Brown, Doug Moe, George Karl and so many other excellent coaches. He knows what it's like to be a first-round pick (No. 13 overall in 1987, by the Clippers) and to adjust to a variety of roles to fit into a team. (Sports Illustrated)
