}}Will Voigt (born August 18, 1976) is an American basketball coach, who is currently the head coach of the Angola national basketball team.[1] He led the Nigerian team to its first ever AfroBasket title in August 2015, where they defeated Angola in the finals to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio.[2]

Early life

Voigt grew in Cabot, Vermont, and attended Cabot High School, where he played varsity basketball and soccer. He attended Pomona College in California for college, lettering in soccer, and graduating with a degree in political science.[3]

Coaching career

During college, Voigt landed an internship with the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers. After graduation, he became a video coordinator with the San Antonio Spurs, and a year later entered the college coaching ranks taking on an assistant role with Texas under Rick Barnes. Voigt moved on to Division II powerhouse Metro State as an assistant for Mike Dunlap.

Voigt's first head coaching job came in Norway, taking over Ulriken Elite where he stayed from 2003 to 2006. When Sports Illustrated writer Alexander Wolff decided to purchase an ABA franchise, the Vermont Frost Heaves, he put the naming of the head coach to a vote by the fans. The Vermont native Voigt was selected.[4] In the first two seasons of the franchise's existence, Voigt led the Frost Heaves to back-to-back ABA Championships.

In 2009, Voigt, in similar fashion, was selected by the fans to be the head coach of the Bakersfield Jam of the NBA Development League.[5] Voigt led the Jam to three playoff appearances, before leaving the team in 2014.

Heading back abroad, Voigt spent one season as an assistant coach for the Shanxi Brave Dragons of the Chinese Basketball Association. Voigt was then selected to lead the Nigerian national team at AfroBasket 2015, with Nigeria winning its first title, and automatic qualification to the 2016 Summer Olympics.

In November 2017, Voigt signed a three-year deal with the Angolan Basketball Federation as headcoach of the Angola national basketball team.[6]

Personal life

Voigt's mother, Ellen Bryant Voigt is the former Poet Laureate of the state of Vermont. He married his wife in 2009, divorced in 2018. They had two children, a boy and a girl.
