The illustrious pair, which replaced Bill Harris and Tamika Raymond, will be aided by strength and conditioning coach Zal Penwell and based at the BFI headquarters in New Delhi.
“We are excited beyond words to bring on board these three incredible coaches, who will play a critical role in helping us achieve our vision of growing basketball in India by developing and showcasing the best players and coaching talents in the country,” said BFI secretary Harish Sharma.
Natt, who played for the Indiana Pacers and the Utah Jazz, has coached the likes of Karl Malone (Utah Jazz) and Lebron James (Cleveland Cavaliers) during his 13-year coaching career in the NBA. Gaudet, on the otherhand, has been involved in American college basketball for over 40 years.
“The appointment of these world-class coaches marks the beginning of an exciting journey,” Sharma added. The coaches will be involved in the development of the sport at the grassroots level.
