- 62 coaches have participated in the All-Star Game, including the two 2019 edition coaches.
- Michael Malone (Denver Nuggets) became a first-time All-Star coach (Western Conference) in the 2019 game for Team Lebron. The West won the game giving Malone a 1-0 All-Star record. Team Giannis was coached by Mike Budenholzer (Milwaukie Bucks). The loss put his All-Star record at 0-2. It was the first time since the 2008 game that both All-Star coaches did not have a playoff run the year before.
- The coaches for both teams were determined by the best record through games played on Feb. 3: two weeks before the game was played. Each All-Star Game coach led the team that included the captain from the same conference.
- Mike D’Antoni (Houston) and Dwane Casey (Raptors) coached the 2018 NBA All-Star Game, so they were ineligible for the honor in 2019
- Red Auerbach coached in 11 editions with 7 wins. Pat Riley lost in the NBA All-Star Game 6 times out of 9 games. George Karl lost 4 out of 4 NBA All-Star Games as coach of the Western Conference Team.
- Billy Cunningham (76ers) went 4-0 in his All-Star coaching career and is the winningest coach to-date for the Sixers.
