More About Coach Ricky
Since retiring from the NBA, I have developed my own basketball system that helps athletes with shooting accuracy using specially designed fingertip placement markers. My basketball product, the AccuShot22, was developed as I was training various athletes and giving advice to parents on how to help their kids perfect a jump shot.
College Career:
Rice University
-1,847 points in three years
-Made more than 50% of my shots
-Rice retired my jersey, 25, and it hangs on the wall at Tudor Fieldhouse
Career NBA:
1982–1983 Detroit Pistons
1983–1984 San Diego Clippers
1984–1991 Milwaukee Bucks
1991–1994 Seattle SuperSonics
1994–1995 Golden State Warriors
1995–1996 Indiana Pacers
1996–1997 Denver Nuggets
1997 Charlotte Hornets
1997 AEK Athens (Greece)
1997–1998 Milwaukee Bucks
I will first analyze my player's strengths and weaknesses and come up with a list of goals for our training time together. I specialize in coaching the jump shot, so we will work with my AccuShot basketball system to help the athlete improve his/her shooting techniques.

Client Reviews
Gerardo (CoachUp client)
Just finished a 10 session training with Coach Ricky and I have to say that it was worth traveling 325 miles for my daughter to be trained by this great Coach.Thanks and thumps up on every session!!!!!
Jill (CoachUp client)
My son is a HS varsity player looking to improve footwork, shooting skills and strengthen his mental game with a goal of obtaining a D1 scholarship as a power forward. My son was absolutely impressed by his knowledge base and willingness to talk with him about each area he needs to improve during training. Attentive, personable and obviously much experience as a college and NBA player!
Rickey has increased his points, rebounds and assists to him averaging a double/double 5 straight varsity games on a row! He is on to getting first team all district!
Mark (CoachUp client)
Coach Ricky was absolutely superb. He was interactive, engaging, fun and has a wealth of experience which he was very keen to impart. He pushed Liam who learnt a lot, and enjoyed working with him. Thank you Coach Ricky for a valuable and informative 3 days. We will definitely look him up on our next visit to Houston.
