More About Coach Luke
Over the past six years, I have trained more than 50 basketball players, including Division III, Division I, and professional athletes. Many have gone on to play college basketball and earn scholarship opportunities.
I specialize in developing point guards and shooting guards, with a focus on skill development, basketball IQ, decision-making, and game application.
My background includes being a 4X all conference guard, and 1X All-American during my five years of collegiate basketball. Professional experience with Avanti Mondorf in Luxembourg, and coaching experience as a Head Assistant Coach at Lorena High School (4A), where I focused on player development and helped develop multiple First-Team All-District players and consecutive district Offensive MVPs.
My training is designed to translate directly into game performance by building confidence, habits, and consistency. Each session is tailored to the athlete’s needs, whether improving fundamentals or preparing for the next level.
I began my college career at John Brown University, where I became a 1x All-American, 4x All-Conference selection, and Offensive Player of the Year. Over three seasons, I averaged 16.8, 17.6, and 19.0 PPG, while shooting 40% from three and leading the conference in 3PT makes twice.
I finished my college career at East Central University, averaging 11 PPG, 4 APG, 47% FG, 39% 3PT, and 88% FT. I earned All-Conference honors while leading the conference in assist-to-turnover ratio.
I then took my game overseas, playing professionally in France and Luxembourg. In Luxembourg, I averaged 24 PPG and 4.2 APG while shooting 41% from three, leading my team in both scoring and assists and helping them achieve the highest finish in program history.
1. Train It – Every session begins with skill development focused on areas like ball handling, shooting, passing, footwork, and finishing. Through purposeful repetition, athletes build confidence, improve technique, and strengthen the fundamentals.
2. Apply It – Once the skill is developed, we put it into game-like situations. Athletes practice what they've learned in realistic scenarios, helping them build confidence and transfer their skills to real competition.
3. Understand It – Throughout every session, I teach the *why* behind each drill and decision. By understanding the game, athletes improve their basketball IQ, recognize situations before they happen, and make smarter plays with confidence.
