Although the details are still being worked out, the organization is close to announcing – perhaps in the next month or so – that both of the Canadian basketball icons will have more of a say in the day-to-day operations in the group that oversees the game in their country.
Triano, will more than likely be welcomed back as the head coach of the senior men’s national team. Which is the position he held from 1998 to 2005. The role of Nash, will be more of an executive one. posting such as the one.
Wayne Parrish, the executive director and chief executive officer of Canada Basketball, confirmed Wednesday morning that he has had ongoing discussions with both men over the last several months about their future roles within his organization.
Both Triano and Nash are already members of Canada Basketball’s council of excellence which acts as an advisory committee to the organization’s various basketball programs.
The Canadian Basketball’s men’s program is at a bit of a crossroads in relation to its business structure and the continued influx of emerging young talent such as Toronto’s Tristan Thompson and Cory Joseph of Pickering, Ont., both first round picks at June’s NBA draft, bodes well for the future of the Canadian game.
