CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Jerry Stackhouse says the National Basketball Players Association is focusing on getting player involved in union activities and is in no rush to hire a search firm to choose a new executive director.
The NBPA has been looking new director since February, when Billy Hunter was ousted after a number of questionable decisions.

Stackhouse is the first vice president of the union and among its most outspoken members.
Speaking at the NBPA’s 20th Top 100 Camp for high school stars at the University of Virginia, Stackhouse says the union is “trying to build something we can be really proud of” and would like to have a new director by the next All-Star break, when Adam Silver replaces retiring NBA Commissioner David Stern.
