Open-ended:

Which NBA team executives played in the top pro league of another sport?

I can think of one obvious example, but perhaps there are more.

Same question for NBA head coaches.

I can think of two examples.

I can only think of Danny Ainge. No idea who the coaches are.

Danny Ainge was also a coach. Specifically, he coached the Suns, who I believe are the last team he played for, and are located near the Mormon areas in and around Utah. But as the story goes, his large Mormon family sat him down and said he was spending too little time with them, and accordingly he quit his coaching career midseason.

As for the other example I know of -- before joining the team he was most famous for playing on, he was one of the youngest player-coaches in NBA history. And before that he had a short pitching career.

I think it is Dave DeBusschere while in Detroit?

Okay here's one that is probably easy, although there's another team I had in mind:

There are two NBA franchises where the leader in career points has more than twice as many points as the player in second place. Who are the two franchises (and the players)?

Dallas:
Nowitzki - 31.5k (almost)
Blackman - 16.6k

Indiana:
Miller - 25.2k (almost)
Smits - 12.8k

Cleveland:
LeBron - 23k
Ilgauskas - 10k

Chicago:
Jordan - 29.2k (almost)
Pippen - 15.1k

Only Cleveland then, as far as I could find.

There are many teams where the 1st leading scorer has double the points of the 3rd leading scorer, though.

Atlanta is an obvious guess, except that if so, Trae might have made it become false.

Dallas is a stronger guess, since Dirk lasted longer in Dallas than Nique did in Atlanta.

Utah is another, although I'd guess Stockton > Malone/2.

Malone - 36.3k
Stockton - 19.7k

Wilkins - 23.2k
Pettit - 20.8k
Hudson - 16.0k
Trae is currently 9th on the list, with 9.6k.

Ack. I was forgetting the Hawks' ancient glories.

Rochester Royals

-- Yes. After stops in Cincinnati and Kansas City, they eventually became the Kings.

Syracuse Nationals

NY Rens (pre-merger BAA or NBL)

Hint for another one: What other NY city seems big enough to once have had an NBA team?
