List of NBA All-Star Game head coaches

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is alist of NBA All-Star Game head coaches. TheNational Basketball Association All-Star Game is an annualbasketball exhibition game held during theNational Basketball Association (NBA) regular season. For most of its history, the All-Star Game was played between theWestern Conference All-Stars and theEastern Conference All-Stars, where thehead coach for each All-Star team was the coach of the NBA team with the best record from their respective conference. From the2018 to the2023 game, the format of the game was slightly altered. The starters and reserves were chosen as usual, but the two captains (one from each conference) draft their team from those starters and reserves. The coaches are also selected as usual, and matched with the captain from their respective conference. For the2025 game, the format was changed to a tournament style, pitting four teams of eight players each. Three teams would be represented by the NBA All-Stars, while a fourth team would be represented by the winning team of theRising Stars Challenge composed of NBA rookies and sophomores plusNBA G League standouts. The coaches selected remain the same as previous All-Star Games, randomly assigned to one of the three All-Star teams. The remaining All-Star team and the Rising Stars team would be coached by the assistant coach from one of the head coach's NBA teams.

To ensure that a different coach represents their conference each year, there is a rule against a head coach making a consecutive appearance. Instead, the coach with the next best record is selected. This rule is known as the "Riley Rule" and was introduced in the early 1990s after the dominance of the 1980sLos Angeles Lakers team in the Western Conference, which was coached byPat Riley.
