Staverman was the first coach of the American Basketball Association's Indiana Pacers. He coached the team for its first season (where they went 38–40 and lost in a three game sweep in the playoffs) and the first nine games of the next season before being replaced by Bobby Leonard. He later served as an interim coach for the Kansas City Kings in the 1977–78 season after they had won just thirteen of 37 games to start the year. He went 18–27 as the Kings finished dead last in the Western Conference. He was replaced by Cotton Fitzsimmons as head coach for the next season, although he stayed with the Kings until May 1981, when he resigned organization to join the Cleveland Browns as an assistant to the team president.
