The Atlanta Hawks have named Jim Thomas as an assistant coach.
Most recently a college scout for the Oklahoma City Thunder for the last four years, Thomas was previously with the New York Knicks (scout, 2005-07), Indiana University (assistant coach, 2001-04), and Toronto Raptors as an assistant coach (1996-99) and scout (1994-96).
“We’re pleased to add Jim to our coaching staff,” Mike Budenholzer said. “He’s been a part of a number of successful programs, and his coaching and playing experience will blend well with our group.”
