EP #294 COACHING KOBE - LARRY LEWIS

THE KELLY CARDENAS PODCAST PRESENTS Larry Lewis is set to enter his fifth season as an Assitant Coach of the UCSB Men's Basketball team, a position he accepted in September of 2019. In just his third year with the program, Lewis was a part of the Gauchos' first Big West Tournament Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance in 10 years. Lewis arrived in Santa Barbara after spending three years as the Director of Player Development/Assistant Coach for the Sacramento Kings. Prior to his three years on Sacramento's bench he spent three seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, also as Director of Player Development/Assistant Coach. Before his elevation to the Lakers, he served two seasons as an assistant coach for the L.A. D-Fenders of the G-League. In his first year as a coach, after a long international playing career, Lewis helped the franchise post the best regular season record in G-League history (38-12) and earn eight NBA call-ups. Named an assistant on the G-League Select Team in 2012, he played a central role in the D-Fenders capturing the Development Champion Award, bestowed on the team that best embodies the G-League's goals of developing talent via call-ups and player assignments. In addition to his experience on the sidelines, Lewis' lengthy international playing career spanned 19 seasons and four continents, including stops in Argentina (2011), Spain (2001-11), Japan (1996-2000), Cyprus (1996), Great Britain (1993) and the Dominican Republic (1992). He also played one season in the United States Basketball League with Sarasota (1996), in the CBA with the Harrisburg Hammerheads and Rapid City Thrillers (1994-95) and for the silver medal winning Team USA in the Pan American Games (1995).  A Morehouse College alumnus, Lewis turned professional in 1992 when he was drafted by the Albany Patroons of the CBA. He and his wife, Sonia Lewis, have one son, Landon (19), and a daughter, Lauryn (15).  Thank you for rocking with the podcast.
