Crawford was the head coach of the Stockton Kings this past season, guiding the club to the 2024-25 NBA G League championship in his first year on the job.<\/p>\n
Previously, Crawford worked as an NBA assistant coach for five seasons. The stretch included tenures with the Phoenix Suns (2023-24), Dallas Mavericks (2022-23) and Los Angeles Lakers (2019-22). Before joining the Lakers, Crawford served as the head video coordinator and player development coach with the Charlotte Hornets in 2018-19. He also spent a two-year stint with the Orlando Magic, serving as head video coordinator with a role in player development in 2017-18 and as an assistant video coordinator in 2016-17. Crawford started his NBA career as an assistant video coordinator with the Sacramento Kings in 2015-16.<\/p>\n
Crawford played college basketball at Middlesex Community College from 2008-10 in Edison, New Jersey, before playing for the Arizona Wildcats from 2011-13. He began his post-playing career as a graduate manager and video exchange coordinator for the men\u2019s basketball program at Pepperdine University for two seasons from 2013-15.<\/p>\n
The news of Crawford\u2019s hiring Saturday coincided with the news that the Blazers are re-signing assistant coaches Nate Bjorkgren and Ronnie Burrell, as well as analytics coach Jacob Mooallem.<\/p>\n
