Michael Leeroyall "Mike" Evans (born April 19,
1955 in Goldsboro, North Carolina) is
a retired American National Basketball
Association player and present coach. He played collegiately at
Kansas State University where
he is Kansas State's all-time leading points scorer with 2,115
points. He was drafted by the Denver Nuggets with the 21st pick of the
1978 NBA Draft
and had a 9-year career with four different teams (the San Antonio
Spurs, Milwaukee Bucks, Cleveland
Cavaliers, and the Denver Nuggets). He was widely regarded
throughout his career as an excellent 3-point shooter, being among
the league leaders in that statistical category for several
years.
After his retirement as a player, he became an assistant coach with the Nuggets. In 2001, when Dan Issel was fired, Evans assumed coaching duties for the remainder of the 2001-02 season, after which Jeff Bzdelik was hired as the team's head coach. In 2006-07 he was a scout for the Toronto Raptors[1], and now on the Raptors' coaching staff in 2007-08.[2] He was fired in the 2009 off-season.
