Georgia Gwizzlies News Release
I'm amused when the question of my experience and background as I position myself to apply for a Head coaching position in the NBA this summer. Playing in the NBA will not get you the job, because if it did,Kareem and my late dear friend Dennis Johnson would have been hired. I'm from the city of Louisville and the great state of kentucky.In the late 1970's played with Dennis Johnson,attend,taught coached at Pepperdine University of Malibu,Southwestern junior college,Clearview school of Beverly Hills,California,Southern Poly Tech in Marietta. Interned at Burbank NBC Studio,coached in the famed California summer pro league and was a candidate for United States Congress in 2002 here in Atlanta. Who's who in the World,America,South for the past 20 years. My personal references list would consist of eight college presidents,two retired NBA well-known front office personnel and countless retires NBA players. In concluding ,one of my last conversation I had with Dennis was that he really want me in the NBA,Dennis felt I had paid my dues in life and the minors. By Embry Malone
