Following that, he signed with the Aria Thessaloniki, a Greek multi-sport club, with whom he participated in a number of European competitions. Next, he played with Spain’s Unicaja Malaga, before signing with Bandirma Banvit in Turkey in 2011. In the end, he would only play one season, before switching over to coaching.
In 2013, the former NBA player joined the Maryland Terrapin as a special assistant under head coach, Mark Turgeon. After three years with the team, he was relieved of his duties in July 2016. A few months afterward, he was recruited as the head coach at the University of the District of Columbia’s women’s basketball team. Following one season, he was hired as a head coach by the Coppin State Eagles. Unfortunately, it’s not known how much he is paid for his coaching duties.
