Robert William "Bob" Weiss (born May 7, 1942) is an American professional basketball coach and former professional basketball player. He is currently serving as an assistant coach for the Charlotte Hornets of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Weiss played college basketball at Pennsylvania State University from 1963 to 1965 and averaged 16.3 points per game during his senior season.
The NBA's Philadelphia 76ers selected Weiss in the 1965 NBA Draft. Weiss interspersed his career with the 76ers with a short stint in the Eastern Professional Basketball League, playing for the Wilmington Blue Bombers. He led the EBL in assists in the 1966–67 season and was named to the EBL All-Star First Team.
Weiss was a member of the 76ers' 1967 championship team, after which he was taken by the Seattle SuperSonics in the 1967 NBA Expansion Draft. Weiss played in the NBA for twelve seasons, including six with the Chicago Bulls.
After retiring as a player in 1977, Weiss briefly worked for an investment firm in Anaheim, California. In 1978, he joined the San Diego Clippers as an assistant coach. In 1980, he moved to the Dallas Mavericks, an expansion franchise.
After six years in Dallas, Weiss accepted his first head coaching job in 1986 with the San Antonio Spurs. He coached the Spurs for two seasons, never posting a winning record. He did, however, lead them to the playoffs in 1988.
After one year as an assistant with the Orlando Magic, Weiss moved to the Atlanta Hawks as head coach. In three seasons, his Hawks teams posted a record of 124–122 and made the playoffs twice.
