David John Magley (born November 24, 1959) is an American retired basketball player and coach. He is currently the president of both The Basketball League (TBL) and the Basketball Super League (BSL) after previously serving as commissioner of the National Basketball League of Canada (NBL).

Early life

[edit | edit source]

He played basketball at South Bend LaSalle High School. Following his senior year, Magley was named Indiana Mr. Basketball, beating Randy Wittman and Ted Kitchel for the award,[1] and was selected to the Academic All-State and Parade All American teams.[2]

NBA and CBA

[edit | edit source]

Magley was drafted with the fifth pick in the second round of the 1982 NBA draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers. In his one NBA season, he appeared in fourteen games, recording a total of twelve points and ten rebounds.[3] He also spent several years in the Continental Basketball Association for the Wyoming Wildcatters and Albany Patroons.[4] He won the CBA championship with the Patroons in 1984.[5]

Prior to becoming an executive, Magley was head coach of Bradenton Christian School in Bradenton, Florida, for 11 years and then led the Brampton A's for two seasons.[6]

Commissioner of NBL Canada

[edit | edit source]

On May 28, 2015, Magley officially became the commissioner of the National Basketball League of Canada (NBL), succeeding Paul Riley.[7] Several months prior, the league's Board of Directors unanimously voted to end Riley's stint as commissioner.[8] Magley's overseeing of the 2015 NBL Canada Finals brawl helped him get the job.[7]

After completing his two-year contract as commissioner, he left to become the president and chief operating officer of the upstart North American Premier Basketball League (NAPB) in 2017, which was renamed to The Basketball League (TBL) in 2018 and spawned its sister Basketball Super League (BSL) in 2023.[9]
