    PGC BASKETBALL DIRECTOR

    Referred to as “Coach A”, Gilbert is an Assistant Coach with the San Antonio Spurs G-League team, the Austin Spurs. He has been preparing players at an elite level for more than 10 years and has trained several professional players all over the world. Abraham has trained well over 50 NBA players, and scores of players playing proffessionally abroad and in the collegiate ranks.

    Coach A over the past 5 years has served as a global consultant to basketball federation(s), professional basketball teams, and a plethora development organizations. Most recently Abraham served as an Assistant Coach for the San Antonio Spurs affiliate Austin Spurs G-league team.

    Gilbert is a graduate of St. Andrews Presbyterian College. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Politics with a minor in Creative Writing.

He credits his academic approach to the game of basketball to his scholastic background.

    Gilbert and his wife Noelle have three children, Gabriel, Eden and Cielo.

    Away from the gym, Gilbert enjoys spending time with family, public speaking, poetry and community service.

    Gilbert is one of the best skill coaches I have worked with. Before we started working together he watched every one of my possessions over a 4 year span of my career and put together a program based on the actions that I had been used in. Gilbert helped me get into great shape going into preseason mentally and physically.
