In 1996, I published, “Making The Basketball Team: Get Off the Bench and Into The Game,” a guide to helping young players earn a place on their teams through preparation, effort and fundamentals (featuring a foreward by hall of fame coach Roy Williams). After graduating from Kansas, I coached for one year at Punahou School in Honolulu, working with boys and girls of all ages while serving as an assistant coach for both boys and girls varsity teams. I also coached for half a dozen summers at the Roy Williams basketball camps in Lawrence, KS.

After playing three years on the junior varsity, I was co-captain of the 1991-92 University of Kansas Men’s Basketball Team. Highlights included getting my butt kicked each day in practice by a trio of guards that would go on to play in the NBA; playing each summer with professionals like Danny Manning, Darnell Valentine, Kevin Pritchard and Calvin Thompson; and having my name next to Wilt Chamberlain on the captain’s wall in Allen Fieldhouse!

We’ll work on individual offensive and defensive fundamentals, and then apply them to the floor game through a variety of drills and situations. Sessions feature a steady flow of activity, meshing conditioning with skill acquisition. Players will come away with a clear understanding of what to work on next and how to improve their games.
