More About Coach DeMarcus
I have been doing skills sessions since my career concluded in 2006 and currently coach an 8U select team. In the past I have conducted offseason skills training for a number of area high school varsity teams, coached at several college basketball camps.
My sessions consist of ball handling, footwork, body positioning, shooting and other guard oriented concepts. My sessions typically last an hour depending on scheduling.

Walter Abercrombie (Testimonial)
September 1, 2016 I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation on behalf of DeMarcus Minor who is interested in a coaching/teaching position. As the Executive Director of the “B” Association, Baylor University’s official letterwinners organization, I have had the good fortune of getting to know many of the university’s former athletes. DeMarcus, a former standout basketball player, class of 2001, is one of those former players I got to know and have followed through the years. After a 4-year career in professional basketball, DeMarcus returned to Texas and immediately began pursuing his passion of coaching/mentoring young people. Although he works fulltime as a professional social worker, he spends much of his spare time assisting with Hoops Can Assist Autism, a basketball school he founded for Autistic children. DeMarcus has been a tremendous coach and mentor to scores of young people, as well as a loving husband and father. Just recently, Baylor University honored him as a Basketball Legend, an award given to athletic alumni who have continued to make positive contributions to their respective communities. DeMarcus has a strong work ethic and he is highly intelligent. Based on my knowledge and experience with him, I believe he would be a valuable asset to your school. I recommend him to you with enthusiasm and without reservation. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely yours, Walter Abercrombie Executive Director, “B” Association Baylor University
Yvette Beale (Testimonial)
My son, Xavier, has always had a heart for basketball. Every since the day he could walk, he has tried to dribble and shoot the ball. Coach Minor has successfully taken my sons willingness and love for the game, and transitioned it to perfecting fundamentals and sportsmanship skills. Coach Minor has the perfect balance of patience, drive, vision and experience; which transition nicely on and off the court. ~Yvette Beale
