KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Veteran coach and college athletics administrator Nate Pomeday has been named the Associate Executive Director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), it was announced on Friday.

“Nate has a tremendous work ethic along with the ability to analyze problems and come up with creative solutions,” Robinson added. “He will make a fantastic teammate and colleague. We are very fortunate to get him.”
Prior to his role at the AAC, Pomeday spent 13 years in various coaching roles. He was the director of basketball operations and later an assistant coach at Minnesota from 2014-16, and before that spent six years as an assistant coach at Oregon State.

“I am humbled, honored and very excited to work for the NABC. I want to thank Craig Robinson and NABC President Jamie Dixon for this incredible opportunity to grow the game of basketball and support coaches across all levels,” said Pomeday. “I look forward to cultivating relationships with these leaders and supporting a more significant impact on the communities they serve.”
