The Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF) has appointed Otis Hughley as the new head coach of the D’Tigress.

This followed the sack of Sam Vincent by the NBBF for his lack of commitment for the job in recent times.

The appointment of Hughley, a former NBA Coach, was finalised after the NBBF leadership approved his program for the D’Tigress’ participation at the World Cup in Spain.

NBBF President, Engineer Musa Kida said the leadership of the federation settled for Hughley as it became apparent that he is the “most immediate available option.”

Kida emphasized that since Vincent was sacked because of issues surrounding conflicting professional engagements, it was wise to replace him with a coach that will be readily available.

He said; “We needed to take a proactive step in the interest of the team who are preparing for the World Cup. We needed to fill the vacuum immediately and continue our preparation for Spain.

“For many, parting ways with Vincent at this time was not a good decision, but it was a difficult decision we had to take in the overall and long term interest of the team.

“We still have about 50 days to train and get ready for the competition and we are confident that the time frame will be enough for any good coach to train and shape a team into a strong contender.”
