More About Coach Tony

Tony Vasaturo is a world-renowned Basketball Coach and Player Development Specialist. With 6 years of collegiate coaching experience (UConn and UCF) and over thousands of athletes trained, he is an expert at what it takes to get his clients to the next level.

Tony quickly fell in love with directly working with players, studying the game, and working relentlessly to create and coach great players and individuals. In doing so, he now conducts NBA Pre-Draft for Octagon Basketball in Irvine, CA. Developing players for the next level is an area of expertise for Tony. He has helped players such as Dyson Daniels (8th overall to New Orleans Pelicans), Luke Travers (56th overall to Cleveland Caveliers), Matt Mitchell (SIG Strasbourg), Jordan Usher (Besiktas) and more achieve their dreams of playing at the professional level.

While developing and working with players and teams, Tony excels in areas such as film breakdown of your game and offensive actions, decision making and in-game reads, shot breakdown, game IQ, playing without/off the ball, and more. His skill development philosophies are predicated on trends in todays game while focusing on footwork, balance, taking advantage of angles, passing, and more.
Tony is always finding new and innovative ways to help athletes take their games to new heights, which led him to partner with Jordan Lawley Basketball. Together they have trained thousands of amateur athletes as well some of the top basketball players in the world. Carmelo Anthony, Klay Thompson, Zach LaVine, Julius Randle, Josh Giddey, Alex Caruso, Montrezl Harrell, Michael Carter-Williams and many other players have entrusted their skill development with Tony and Jordan.

Tony has also worked alongside and coached under some of the greatest minds within the game including Kevin Ollie, Donnie Jones, Brendan Suhr, Kevin Eastman, Raphael Chillious, Cody Toppert, and others. Along his climb to working with high level athletes, Tony spent 10 summers working and administering camps around the world reaching thousands of athletes to help refine his coaching philosophies, teaching skills, public speaking abilities, and his leadership skills.

Tony also has his Masters Degree in Sports & Exercise Science from The University of Central Florida to help continue to understand his athletes and give them added value beyond the court.

I was fortunate enough to work hard and win a state championship in high school. I also had a scholarship to play at Aurora University in Illinois. I actually played football in college and worked my way into the starting rotation within my first year. In the offseason, I helped with the men's basketball program at Aurora, where I fell in love with the process and knew where my passion was. I transferred to UCF to coach basketball at the highest level in order to make an immediate impact in the basketball world. I believe having both football and basketball in my background has helped me with training my athlete, and being able to relate to a bigger variety of athletes.

You can expect elite level training with precision like no other, a professional approach, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. You will also be pushed past your comfort zone. I train everyone to the highest level, and that has given the best results for improvement. Focus will be on footwork, ball handling, attacking and finishing at the rim, shooting, game like actions, and basketball IQ!

Fixed my shot

Greatest coach!

Training was good, coach was great.

Coach Tony was excellent. He took my boy through the basics, excellent technique. He kept my mildly hyperactive 7 year old fully engaged for a whole hour. We’re definitely going back.

Tony has a wealth of knowledge and really cares about his athletes. You can tell he puts a lot of time and energy into learning what happens in games and applying those skills and decision-making scenarios into his workouts. He is a great teacher!

Coach Tony's attention to detail, ability to teach the game as well as his care for those he works with is second to none. I was blown away with how well he was able to articulate his teaching, and at the same time was able to motivate those he works with while also holding them to high standards. Five stars through & through.

Coach Tony is awesome! Loved our first session and will definitely continue training with him.

Coach Tony is awesome! My son absolutely adored Tony as he was able to keep him engaged and focused the entire time. Tony was quick to asses and implement - super efficient and effective in just an hour.

Coach Tony knows how to get players to their optimal levels. Unlike most coaches, he has objective methods to evaluate a player to know how quickly a player is improving. He is very motivational, and maintains high standards and expectations for each player. I highly recommend Coach Tony if you are looking for a coach that knows how to get players better.

Very solid training I have ever received.

Coach Tony is a great coach. As soon as he arrived he came with a set mind and ready to go, not wasting anytime and ready to train. My son loved him and even said he made him work on body parts where he had never felt pain before so that is how I know he was making him work. I recommend this coach !!

From playing professionally all over the world, I have seen a lot in the game of basketball. Tony brings a unique understanding and perspective to the court by not only developing your skills, but also putting you in game scripted scenarios to help make reads and slow the game down. His approach is diligent and efficient, you'll be able to take your game to new heights by working together.
