The Main Thing…
We are students of the game, we have played and coached at every level. We have competed for National Championships as a player and a coach. We have experienced what it’s like to struggle to win games as both a player and a coach. We have been the best player on teams and have been cut from teams. Through our careers in basketball we have had the opportunity to study and learn from some great basketball minds and teachers of the game. Our vision is to train athletes in the skills that will allow them to achieve success in basketball and lead a fulfilled life after basketball. The game will not end.
