Kevin Cadle, the former Great Britain basketball coach and longtime NFL and NBA broadcaster with Sky Sports, has died at the age of 62.
The American coached the Scotland and England basketball teams as well as leading Britain’s team at the qualification tournament for the 1992 Olympics.
In a domestic coaching career that also brought him 30 titles, including five British Basketball Championships, Cadle had spells in charge of Glasgow, Kingston, Guildford and London Towers.
The British Basketball League led the tributes on Monday morning, tweeting: “We are shocked and saddened to hear that #BritishBasketball has lost a true legend in Kevin Cadle. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.”
NFL UK added: “We are shocked & saddened to hear of the death of Kevin Cadle, a great friend of #NFLUK for so long. Our thoughts are with his loved ones.”
Alongside his coaching career, Cadle was a popular figure on Sky Sports and was the face of the NFL and NBA for many in the UK.
The worst news. I'm shocked & sad. He was a friend & sposed to do our show Sunday but was ill. Never expected this. Too big to go like that. https://twitter.com/NFLUK/status/919853785635270656 …
