It s not just Li s coach! Lillard will serve as general manager of the basketball team at his alma mater, Weber State University

August 3 According to US media ESPN, Damian Lillard returned to his alma mater and served as general manager of the basketball team at Weber State University. The active Portland Trail Blazers guard made the announcement at the Webber State Basketball Alumni Classic in Ogden, Utah.

Lillard said at the event: "My relationship with Coach Duft and this program means a lot to me, and seeing the success of the program is also important to me. I feel that I can contribute a lot to the success of the program and help players continue to develop their careers after college, which is something I am very passionate about."

In recent years, with the emergence of transfer windows in college sports, NIL (name, image and image) and other dynamic changes, the role of General Manager (GM) overseeing the program has become increasingly popular in college basketball and rugby.

Lillard played for four seasons at Weber State University, with a total score of 1934 team second in team history, hit 246 three-pointers and 520 free throws first in team history, and a free throw percentage of 87.6% in team history.
