More About Coach James
Currently an NBA G League assistant coach. Have spent the last 8 seasons working in the NBA & G League (Celtics, Jazz, Magic, Nuggets) with a background in player development and scouting. Have served on coaching staff of USA Basketball Senior Men's National Team (FIBA World Cup Qualifiers & 2017 FIBA AmeriCup). Additionally, I have provided individual skill development and training to some of the nation’s top high school, college, and NBA players (Trae Young, Kelly Olynyk, Georges Niang, Jared Butler, Pascal Siakam, etc.)
I walked on at the University of Oklahoma for 4 years, where I was a member of 3 NCAA tournament teams and played alongside more than 7 players currently playing professionally, 3 of which were drafted in the NBA. I was an Academic All-Big 12 selection as a senior and a finalist for the Big 12 Conference Sportsman of the Year.
Workout plans vary based on the needs and goals of the player. Guard workouts will involve a heavy dose of ball-handling, shooting off the dribble, pick & roll reads, etc. "Big" workouts will typically involve a combination of back-to-the-basket work, finishing with both hands, shooting off the catch, etc. Everything can be fully customized by client. More advanced clients can participate in film study.

Coach James was very interactive. He effectively demonstrated and taught each drill. The drills were extremely beneficial and challenging. I would recommend Coach James for any aged basketball player looking to take their game to the next level.
