In 2000, the Clippers hired Igor Kokoskov as a full-time assistant coach. Kokoskov became the first full-time non-American coach in NBA history. In 1999, Kokoskov, a native of Yugoslavia, had also become the first European to hold a full-time coaching position at an NCAA Division I college (University of Missouri). In 2004 Kokoskov was picked up as an assistant coach by the Detroit Pistons.
