Green had been the head coach of the New Orleans Pelicans from 2021 to 2025 and was fired after just 12 games. He&#8217;s a former player with history as a player development coach. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"an\">Joe Boylan took last season off but was an assistant with the Memphis Grizzlies in the 2024-25 season. He was courted to follow the Grizzlies&#8217; former coach, Taylor Jenkins, to the Milwaukee Bucks, but decided to come to Dallas instead. He has been an assistant coach for Memphis, New Orleans, and the Minnesota Timberwolves. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"as\">Drew Williamson follows May in from Michigan, having been an assistant coach for the Wolverines since 2024. He was also with May at Florida Atlantic. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ax\">Former NBA player Garrett Temple has retired and will join the Mavericks&#8217; coaching staff. He&#8217;s been a valuable veteran in locker rooms for years now, and this should be a natural transition for him. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"b2\">Mody Maor also follows May from Michigan, but he had only been there for a couple of months, having been a head coach in Japan for the last two years. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"b7\">Rob Fodor will be the team&#8217;s shooting coach\/assistant coach after 20 years with the Miami Heat, where he had been a player development coach. He also has stops internationally and with the WNBA&#8217;s Seattle Storm. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/01m2p4rbbzvx0c393hnt.jpg\" alt=\"New Orleans Pelicans head coach Willie Green\" title=\"New Orleans Pelicans head coach Willie Green\" width=\"360\" height=\"360\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"bj\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Nov 10, 2025; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; New Orleans Pelicans head coach Willie Green against the Phoenix Suns at the Mortgage Matchup Center.

He was a graduate assistant for the University of Florida while Dusty May was an assistant there, then spent time with Brown University as a director of operations and assistant coach. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bu\">Other names to note: 2011 NBA Champion Tyson Chandler will remain as a player development coach, a role he has held since 2021. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bz\">Quincy Acy, who played six games for the Mavericks in the 2016-17 season, is also back as a player development coach.
