Following a four-year playing career with the British Basketball League’s Sheffield Sharks, Finch took over the team’s coaching reins from 1997-2003, winning a League title and earning Coach of the Year honors in the 1998-99 season.
For 12 years, Finch continued his coaching career overseas until 2009, when then NBA D-League franchise, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, hired the Pennsylvania native as Head Coach of the franchise.
In his first D-League season at the helm, Finch’s Vipers went 34-16, finishing first in their conference, earning the organization’s first playoff berth, and winning the D-League Championship. Following the Vipers’ successful 2010 campaign, the veteran coach received NBA D-League Coach of the Year honors.
