A native of Los Angeles, Engelland, who also served as a ball boy for coach John Wooden's NCAA champions UCLA Bruins in 1975, began his basketball career at Pacific Palisades High School, leading Los Angeles in scoring as a senior in 1979.

[2] He was known by Filipino fans as "the Machine Gun" for his superb shooting skills.

In 1993, Engelland started his coaching career, introducing his basketball camps Chip Shots with the aim of helping players of all ages improve their shooting skills; two years later he founded the In-Net Corporation, strengthening his reputation as a clinician and advisor. [2] He got his first job in the National Basketball Association (NBA) in the 1999–2000 season, serving as a shooting consultant for the Detroit Pistons. Three years later, he signed with the Denver Nuggets as the director of player development, holding the position for two seasons. Engelland served as an assistant coach for the San Antonio Spurs starting from the 2005–06 season, and won two championships with the Spurs in 2007 and 2014.
