WOODBRIDGE, Virginia -- Familiar with the inner-workings of the American Basketball Association after playing three seasons for league teams in Richmond, Luqman Jaaber considered running his own team at some point.
Although that prospect failed to materialize, Jaaber remained intrigued by staying involved in the ABA. The chance to coach the Woodbridge Wolves offered him that opportunity.
“Things come around in a different form,” Jaaber said.
Team owner Raymond Dabney was thrilled Jaaber agreed to coach the Wolves, a first-year franchise that will begin building its 12-player roster Saturday when it holds a three-hour tryout from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Potomac High School.
Open registration is from noon to 12:30 p.m. and costs $65 at the door. Early registration is $55.
Jaaber, who will have the final say on all roster decisions, was one of three people Dabney interviewed for the opening. Jaaber’s experience was the deciding factor.
“I wanted a coach who will treat his players fairly,” Dabney said.
