After reviewing the situation and relying on precedent, the NBA has informed the Utah Jazz that Keyonte George will not be able to coach during their Las Vegas Summer League game against the Washington Wizards on Thursday, league sources told the Deseret News. The Jazz were informed Wednesday that George, the same as any other active player, will not be allowed to take on any kind of official coaching role, in summer league or otherwise, even without compensation. George is not the first active NBA player who has wanted to join the coaching ranks on the sideline, even in a volunteer capacity, according to league sources, and the league wants to keep the rules consistent across the board.
