Fraser Ross McMains[1] (born March 29, 1989)[2] is an American-born New Zealand basketball coach. He is currently a player development coach with the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
McMains was born in New Hampshire in the United States before growing up in New Zealand on Waiheke Island.[3][4] He attended Kadimah College in Auckland, having to take the boat to school every day.[3] He returned to the U.S. at age 11 when his family moved to Santa Barbara. There he went to Santa Barbara High School. After high school, he returned to New Zealand and got a job working with the New Zealand Breakers organisation in 2007. A year or so later, he returned to the U.S. and started in player development, working with a mix of pro players in Los Angeles. That led to an opportunity to work with players in Latvia, France, and China. He also ran NBA Pre-Draft Preparation for two years in Santa Barbara, while also running off-season workouts for a selection of NBA and international players.[3] During this time, he studied at Santa Monica College (2008–10) and John Cabot University (2011) in Rome, Italy.[5] He was exposed to European basketball while in Rome.[3]
