Although most people recognize Larry Riley as the general manager and architect of the Golden State Warriors’ recent NBA Championship team, the accomplishment was merely the pinnacle of a storied career. Riley began his 27-year journey through the NBA ranks as a video coordinator/scout. He served in front office and coaching capacities with the Vancouver Grizzlies (1994-99), Dallas Mavericks (2000-05), and eventually the Golden State Warriors. Success followed Riley every step of the way, as the Mavericks posted 50 wins every year under his tenure and had a cumulative record of 340-152. Dallas won the Western Conference in 2006, and reached the NBA Finals. Prior to his work in the NBA, Larry Riley served as the Greyhound men’s basketball coach for 10 seasons from 1978-1987. He guided the Hounds to five postseason events and helped transition the program from NAIA to NCAA Division II. ENMU’s top season under Riley came in 1983-84, when the Hounds posted an 18-12 record.
