As the CEO/GM of the Atlanta Aliens in the ABA, Duck Richards has run an excellent organization on and off the court, professional, dependable on and off the court. He is well respected and a great leader. It is a pleasure having Duck in the ABA.

There are many coaches who coach because they love coaching. Coach Duck coaches because he loves people and the people he coaches love him. It only takes a moment in his presence to recognize his exemplary approach to coaching and a day in his presence you will acknowledge his extraordinary pedagogical acumen to life.

Coach Duck has a wide range network. His experience an no non-sense coaching style puts him a step above his competition. Duck works well with the community and the parents. Duck comes highly recommended and will be a game changer where ever he is.

I highly recommend Coach Duck Richards in the area of coaching basketball at any level from high school to professional level. Having known him for over 30 years, dating back to our annual wars in US Marines East Coast Regionals as players, we have both transferred our own basketball prowess into coaching the next generations in this sport. As outlined in his resume, it is obvious as to the positive impact that he has had on a multitude of players. During my college coaching stints, my relationship with Coach Duck only grew via his Griffin Grasshopper's program. He has sent countless players to college via this program that have proved his players were more than ready for the college athletics level both on and off the court. Once again, Coach Duck Richards, his work is legendary!!!

Duck is a generous person who gives much of his time to youth. He is committed and can be counted upon for coaching advice and counsel.
