The Seattle SuperHawks enter their fourth season with new coaches. Many of the players are looking for their next shot at playing in the NBA.

SEATTLE — The Seattle SuperHawks are heading into their fourth season as a professional team that competes in a developmental league.

Bringing more than 12 years of NBA assistant coaching experience and NBA playing experience is Robert Pack. 

Pack has been named head coach of the SuperHawks.

The standout point guard delivered several memorable performances during his pro career as a player on several squads, including the Denver Nuggets and the Dallas Mavericks.

Pack and former Seattle SuperSonics star point guard Gary Payton stopped by the KING 5 studios on Saturday to talk about their new coaching roles. Payton has gotten the nod to serve as an assistant coach for the SuperHawks.

Both Pack and Payton said they are thrilled to help young athletes get their shot and make their dreams a reality.

“The guys are practicing hard. You’re going to see guys who didn’t have the opportunity to be drafted,” Pack said. “We’re looking forward to a good start to the season.”

One of Pack’s assistants, Payton, agrees.

“A lot of players in the NBA came through leagues like this,” Payton said. “These are good leagues that you can come back in and see their talents.”

SuperHawks deliver high-scoring games and the team owners say they are proud to offer “affordable and community-focused” sporting events.

SuperHawks players are part of several community service projects each year.

Team co-owners Jacqueline Yang and Pierre Crockrell Sr. have made this a cornerstone of player commitments.

Yang is a trailblazer in the sports industry. She is the first female Asian owner of a men’s professional basketball team and professional basketball league, the USBL

The SuperHawks organization says “Seattle is a basketball town,” and collectively look forward to seeing the return of the city’s beloved NBA franchise – the SuperSonics.

An announcement regarding the official return of the Seattle SuperSonics is expected soon.
