The Raptors 905 coach, Eric Khoury, explains how his aerospace engineering studies led him to a career in the NBA.
Eric Khoury wants you to know his first love is basketball. He played the game in high school and in university. He grew up in Toronto as a huge fan of the Raptors.
A decade ago Khoury was finishing up his master’s program where he’d been tracking particles moving in a water channel when he noticed an article about how the NBA was experimenting with player tracking technology around the league. “Tweets turned to emails, emails turned to coffee and coffee turned to an internship,” says Khoury, who was eventually named the Raptors’ director of analytics.
