Nick Nurse, a Kuemper graduate and basketball standout—especially during their road to their 1985 state championship, is the Head Coach of the Toronto Raptors, leading them to their first ever NBA championship in 2019. Prior to his current role, Nurse served as coach at Grand View University and was the NBA G-League’s Iowa Energy coach when they won the 2011 championship. He also spent 11 years coaching in Europe, winning nine championships, two Coach of the Year awards and six All-Star head coaching designations in the British Basketball League. Nurse was named head coach of the Canadian Senior Men’s basketball team in June of last year and has also served as an assistant coach in the 2012 Olympics for the British National Team.
