John Wall, a five-time NBA All-Star known for his time with the Washington Wizards, has been appointed as the president of basketball operations at Howard University in Washington, D.C. This new role comes after Wall's retirement in August, during which he averaged 18.7 points and 8.9 assists per game throughout his career. Wall's connection with Howard began when he served as the honorary captain on January 31, where he expressed his aspiration to work in basketball operations at the NBA level. He is now actively involved in team meetings and the evaluation of recruits and transfer targets, shaping the program's strategic vision, which includes roster management and player mentorship. Howard University has made notable strides in recent years, being one of only five mid-major programs to reach the NCAA tournament in three of the last four seasons, and winning their first tournament game in school history this year against UMBC. Wall's extensive experience and leadership are expected to significantly impact the program's future.
