The following is a list of general managers, head coaches, and assistant coaches of Asian heritage in sports leagues in the United States and Canada, including the Big Four, other professional leagues and NCAA.

Existing Asian coaches reflect that problems of race and sports especially "Asian stereotypes exist at all levels of basketball", which contributes to a factor why there has been a lack of Asian coaches in NCAA basketball.[1] The Asian Coaches Association is the most prominent association representing the causes of Asian basketball coaches.[1]

Women of Asian heritage coaching men's teams in particular encounter stereotypes. Kim Ng recalled "she has been treated with kid gloves since being named an assistant GM with the Yankees."[2]
