Longtime NBA Player and Coach Added to Larry Drew’s Staff
ATLANTA, GA (July 28, 2010) -- The Atlanta Hawks have named Kenny Gattison as
an assistant coach, according to Executive Vice President/General Manager
Rick Sund. Per team policy, the terms were not disclosed.
“I’m excited about the opportunity to join Larry Drew’s staff here in
Atlanta,” Gattison said. “They have a young and talented, yet experienced
nucleus that won 53 games last year. I look forward to helping our players
improve individually and collectively.”
“Kenny brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our team,” said Hawks
head coach Larry Drew. “As a big man in this league, he was a blue-collar
player with a great work ethic, and those skills have carried over into his
coaching style. We’re fortunate to add his voice to our staff.”
Most recently an assistant coach with the New Orleans Hornets from 2003-09,
Gattison has also spent time on the coaching staff of the New Jersey Nets
(1996-98) and Old Dominion University (2001-03), his alma mater.
Selected in the third round of the 1986 NBA Draft (55th overall) by Phoenix,
Gattison spent nine seasons with the Suns, Hornets and Grizzlies. He appeared
in 494 regular season games, averaging 4.7 ppg and 7.9 rpg, hitting .520 from
the field. He is the Hornets’ franchise career leader in field goal
percentage, while ranking fifth in blocks, offensive rebounds and games
played.
The Wilmington, NC native enjoyed a decorated career at Old Dominion, where
he was named Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year as a senior, finishing as
the conference’s all-time leading rebounder.
