Commissioner of the NBL Canada

On May 28, 2015, Magley officially became the commissioner of the National Basketball League of Canada, succeeding Paul Riley.[6] Several months prior, the league's Board of Directors unanimously voted to end Riley's stint as commissioner.[7] Magley's overseeing of the 2015 NBL Canada Finals brawl helped him get the job.[6] After completing his two-year contract as commissioner, he left to become the president and chief operating officer of the upstart North American Premier Basketball League in 2017.[8]
