Former NBA Star Marreese Speights Steps Down as Northside Christian Basketball Coach
Former NBA champion Marreese Speights has announced his resignation as the head boys basketball coach at Northside Christian School in St. Petersburg, Florida. The announcement was made via social media, where Speights expressed gratitude for the opportunity to lead the program over the past year. He highlighted the meaningful relationships built during his tenure and specifically thanked Brandon Elam for his guidance and support. Speights stated his hope that he left the program in better condition than he found it and mentioned his return to college. Appointed in April 2025, this role marked Speights' first high school head coaching position. Under his leadership, the Mustangs finished the 2025-26 season with a 19-12 record, ranking as the 96th best team in Florida according to Massey Rankings. Speights is a notable figure in basketball history, being one of only 47 players to win both a national college championship and an NBA title, the latter achieved with the Golden State Warriors in 2015. His ten-year NBA career included stints with several major teams, averaging 7.9 points per game.
