Mark Price Career

College career

Price played college basketball at Georgia Tech, standing at 6 feet (183 cm). During his time on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets men's basketball team, he was a two-time All American and four-time All ACC basketball player who helped lead the Yellow Jackets to an ACC Championship for his junior year by defeating North Carolina in the ACC Tournament championship game. His jersey was retired and he was named ACC Player of the Year for the 1984–85 season. He was inducted into the school's Hall of Fame in 1991 and 2005, and into the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame. Price obtained a degree in Industrial Management in four years.

Professional career

A point guard, he stified critics who said he was too slow, too small, and too deliberate for a high-level game. He was selected first by the Dallas Mavericks in the second round (25th overall) by the 1986 NBA draft, helping the team to be a powerhouse in the Eastern Conference.

Price is considered as one of the league's most consistent shooters. He finished his career with a 90.4% free throw shooting percentage and a 40% three-point field goal shooting percentage. Price became the second player to play for at least 40% from three-point range, at least 50% from the field, and at least 90% from the free throw line in a single season during the 1988–89 season, making him one of only eight players to have ever played in each category and also earning the NBA minimum number of makes in each category. Price was consistently ranked among the assistance leaders (as of March 11, 2015, LeBron James surpassed Price's record of 4,206 assists, winning over 1,600 points), twice winning the Three Point Contest (in 1993 and 1994), and was a four-time All-Star. After the 1992-1993 season, Price was named to the All-NBA First Team for the first time. With 734, the Cavaliers' highest in franchise robbery since LeBron James surpassed him in 2008, a record that remained until December 9, 2008.

Another of Price's distinguishing features was his invention of the splitting of the two teams. "Mark changed the way that people attack the screen and roll," former teammate Steve Kerr says. He was the first guy in the NBA to really break the screen and roll, according to me. A lot of teams got into the pick and roll and throwing two guys at it to get the ball out of the point guard's hands. He'd duck right across them and shoot the little runner in the lane. At the time, no one was doing it. Almost every household now watches an NBA game. In this regard, Mark was a pioneer."

Price was plagued by injuries late in his career, a factor in his switch to the Washington Bullets prior to the 1995–96 season. He played for Washington for one season before moving to the Golden State Warriors, where he spent the 1996–97 season. Price was traded to the Orlando Magic for David Vaughn III and Brian Shaw on October 28, 1997. He spent a season with the Magic before being suspended on June 30, 1998, effectively ending his career.

National team career

Price spent his time with the United States national team. He competed for them in the 1983 Pan American Games, where the team earned gold medals and then represented the national team in the 1994 FIBA World Championships, where they were also known as Dream Team II and won gold medals.

Coaching career

Mark Price began his coaching career at Duluth High School as a community coach under head coach and colleague Joe Marelle during the 1998-19 basketball season. Price was a key factor in the team's return to the final four of the class 5A GHSA state tournament after Marelle learned he had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It was the first time Duluth High School had returned to this position in the state tournament in 16 years. Price went on to serve as an assistant coach at Georgia Tech for Bobby Cremins from 1999-2000.

After Cremins retired from teaching at Georgia Tech in the 2000–01 season, Price moved to Atlanta for the next year as the team's head coach and the final eight teams of the state Class A tournament, a 20 win improvement over the previous season and 27 wins before Price arrived. Josh Smith was a player at Whitefield Academy during the same season as coach Price.

Price received the Coach Wooden "Keys to Life" Award in 2002.

Price was a Denver Nuggets consultant in 2003. He later became a Cleveland Cavaliers and Atlanta Hawks television analyst and color commentator.

Price was appointed the inaugural head coach of the Australian NBL's South Dragons in March 2006, a new franchise for the 2006–07 season. Despite the Dragons' NBL Rookie of the Year Joe Ingles and four-time Olympian Shane Heal, they started the season 0-5 and Price was fired. After Heal was appointed as his successor, Price and Heal exchanged scathing remarks in the Australian press.

Price served as the shooting consultant for the Memphis Grizzlies from 2007–08 season and was named shooting coach for the Atlanta Hawks from 2008–09 and 2009–10 seasons. During the 2009 NBA Playoffs, Price helped to boost the Hawks' offensive output in their first return to the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals in nearly ten years.

Price is credited with assisting Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo in his jump shot. Rondo's scoring was a major factor in the Celtics' to the 2010 NBA Finals, where they defeated the Los Angeles Lakers to a complete seven game series. Price spent time with the Golden State Warriors as an assistant coach with the primary goal of improving the Warriors' shooting and free throw percentages.

Price was hired as a player growth coach for the Orlando Magic in December 2011. Price served as the head coach of the Orlando Magic's Summer League team in July 2012.

Price was hired by the Charlotte Bobcats as an assistant coach on July 1, 2013, joining head coach Steve Clifford and associate head coach Patrick Ewing for the 2013–14 season.

Price was introduced as the Charlotte 49ers' head coach on March 25, 2015. Coach Alan Major, who left Charlotte after two medical leaves in the previous year, was fired from Charlotte. Mark Price was relieved of his duties as head coach of the Charlotte 49ers basketball team on December 14, 2017.
