Coaching career

Clubs

Jiang was appointed by the Xinjiang Flying Tigers in 2002 in the second tier league. He led the team to promote into the Chinese Basketball Association. The team ranked fifth both in 2002-03 and 2003-04 seasons as rookie team.[3]

He moved to side with his hometown team Liaoning Panpan in 2004, and managed for two seasons. For the 2004-05 season, Liaoning ranked top in the north division.

In 2006, he joined Zhejiang Wanma Cyclones, and helped the team entering the playoffs.[4]

In 2007, Jiang returned to Xinjiang. This time the team made impressive progress, entering CBA finals for 3 consecutive seasons since 2008. He was sacked in 2011, but re-appeared shortly as the interim coach later that year. [3]

In 2013, Jiang moved to Guangdong to join Foshan Dralions until 2015.[5]

In 2017, he was appointed as the consultant of Zhejiang Golden Bulls.[6]

In 2020, he returned to Liaoning as consultant.[7]

National team

In 1990, Jiang became the head coach of China men's national basketball team. From 1991 through 1995, the team won 3 ABC Championships, and had impressive performance in the 1994 FIBA World Championship, entering quarter-finals, which was the best result among China national team's history, and was considered the best achievement in his national team coaching career.[8] In 1999, Jiang returned to Chinese men's basketball team, and won his fourth FIBA Asian Cup as the head coach. However, the team did not perform well in the 2000 Sydney Olympics, which led to his resignation. He returned shortly in 2003, and again won his fifth Asian title.[8]
