Kevin Ollie will be coaching basketball again.
Ollie will serve as head coach and director of player development for the Overtime Elite program, a group of about 30 top players ages 16-18 who will compete in a league and also play against international competition. The league is slated to begin in September and run until May, and is in the process of reaching out to top high school-aged players around the world.
“I’m ready to get back to what I was born to do empowering and encouraging and supporting young people, and helping them grow,” Ollie said in a press release. “There’s no better place for me to do that than OTE, an extraordinary league for extraordinary young men. I consider it my mission to help these elite athletes realize their dreams.”
