Let me briefly introduce you to Coach Mike Hilmer.

Coach Hilmer has been the head varsity boys coach at North Linn HS for the past 25 years.

He created his Relentless Pressure System which involves Run, Jump, and Trapping philosophy. And over the past 9 years has had unprecedented success with it, including:

7 Straight State Finals Appearances
3 State Titles
National High School Coach Of The Year Finalist 2019
5 Time State Coach Of The Year

It hasn't always been this way for Coach Hilmer. Before he began using his pressure system, his teams were right around .500

In fact, for the first 16 years as the Varsity Head Coach his teams:

Averaged less than 50 ppg
Averaged 12+ TO per game

For the last 9 years since installing his Relentless Pressure System his teams:

Scored 80+ ppg
Average less than 8 TO pg
Increased FG % from 41% to 56%
Led the state in scoring average 5 years, and were runner up twice
Defensively they led the state twice in fewest points allowed and every year have been in the top10 for fewest points allowed

Yes... you read that right! He led the state in offense AND defense

Taylor Jackson has always loved basketball and been passionate about the game. He was a gym rat who grew up playing in recreation leagues and on both the high school and college levels.

But even he was shocked at the basketball-centric world he found himself in when he landed his first job as a coach as an assistant under Rick Rasmussen at Newton County in 2014.

It was that mindset Jackson brought with him when he arrived at Social Circle as an assistant under Brian Anderson in 2017 to help turn around a program that had hit rock bottom. Social Circle hadn’t advanced to state in five years, not even been close. During that stretch, they had a combined record of 23-99.

Five years later, the Redskins find themselves 23-0 heading into the final week of the regular season and ranked No. 1 in the state in one prep poll. With a win over Washington-Wilkes last week, they secured the top seed in the Region 8-A Public tournament and a third consecutive berth in the state tournament.

When Jackson took over in the next year, he inherited an uber-talented group of youngsters who not only had varsity experience but who understood and accepted the high expectations.

Led by Branch and Reid, who averaged 20 and 15 points, respectively, the Redskins won 20 games. More importantly, they snapped a nine-year state tournament drought.

Jackson doubled down last year, pushing his squad even harder and harping on every detail. That led to another key point in the Redskins rebuild.

The Redskins went on to win 12 of their next 15 , including their first victory in the state tournament in over a decade. The momentum has carried over into this season in a big way. Social Circle has dominated its region, winning by an average of 34 points. In non-league action, the Redskins have 11 wins over teams in higher classifications.

For the Social Circle boys basketball team, the heartbreak of losing to Drew Charter in overtime of the of the Class A public state semifinals Saturday night in Valdosta was compounded by the fact that they might actually have won. Ultimately, the game ended tied at 56 after regulation and the Redskins lost 70-66 after the first overtime period.

Hoopsalytics was developed and conceived by Coach Bill Dettering. As a coach, Bill has always been obsessed with utilizing video and Moneyball-style stats to make his players and teams better. One day, Bill had an epiphany reading an article on HoopVision about defensive accounting, and then became inspired to build a better system to combine video and analytics in the most useful ways possible.

A year later, the first iteration of Hoopsalytics was put into play for one of Bill's teams, and the players and coaching staff realized the incredible value it provided. This was also the inspiration for the more advanced features in the system.

Coach Bill is currently the Girls Varsity Coach at Truckee High School, and is on his 11th season as a basketball coach at various levels. Bill also played at Swarthmore College, a D3 school. Hoopsalytics is a big part of the Truckee High program.

Bill is a lifelong software designer and entrepreneur, previously founding Zingtree Inc. which has raised $18.5M in total as of May, 2022. Bill has started and run six companies - all powered by data-driven decision making. (Sportsalytics is by far the coolest one.)

My speciality is developing highly efficient scorers through high percentage shooting, decision-making, and shot selection. The kids that work with me consistently shoot 40%+ 3's and 80%+ FT's in games. The past and current Gwinnett County Public School 3pt career record holders have been girls that worked with me. I'm not a "workout" guy. I'm more concerned about quality than quantity. I conduct private sessions as well as small groups. The typical group size is 2-4 kids and I don't go over 6 in a session. I limit the total number of kids admitted to the Academy. Each player must be at least a rising 7th grader and go through an evaluation before admittance. I typically have a waiting list from April until October.

I will also conduct shooting/development programs for teams at their schools. I don't conduct short-term shooting clinics for players/teams. My philosophy is it takes more time for kids to truly learn and transfer. Under the GPPA, I conduct individual and team programs to help with the mental side: confidence, anxieties, fears, etc.

I have a strong relationship with coaches, parents, and players and that is why I stay full without any social media or advertising.

Coaches consistently refer their players to me and I keep them up to date on their development as well as what areas of their game they need to focus. If a player comes that wasn't referred by the coach, I will contact the coach to let them know and see how I can best serve them and their player.

Since her last professional minutes in May 2013, Jennings has been honing her craft as a leader and teacher of the game.

Jennings' latest position was Associate Head Coach at The University of Illinois at Chicago, spending two years there from 2018-19 to 2019-2020. While the program was in a rebuilding stage during that time, they are poised for a successful season after the re-tooling of Special and her colleagues in the recent past.

Jennings is no stranger to Florida basketball. She spent the 2017-18 season as an Assistant Coach at Flagler College in Saint Augustine, Fla. She helped turn around the team's play during that time, earning a 16-6 record in the Peach Belt Conference in her final season. Even though it was only a brief spell at Flagler, Jennings left her mark in mentoring the 2018 Peach Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Year, Tabitha Odabe.

Before arriving at Flagler, Jennings honed her craft as Assistant Coach at Augusta University for three seasons. From 2014 to 2017, she played a critical role in scouting, player development, planning and conducting practices, and overall player development on and off the court. The Jaguars made it to the NCAA Division II "Sweet 16" in March 2016 and amassed 46 overall wins during Jennings' tenure.

Prior to her time at Augusta, Jennings got her start as an administrative assistant for the women's basketball program at Wright State for the 2013-14 season. She assisted in many aspects of the program, most notably serving to ensure players maintained academic excellence. Wright State earned their first Horizon League Championship and first NCAA Tournament appearance with her on the bench in 2014.

Jennings stood out as a player, starting 115 consecutive games at Xavier University. She is currently tied for fourth in all-time assists for the Musketeers with 515. She also still holds the fifth-place spot in Xavier's all-time free throw percentage at .773. Jennings led the Musketeers to an NCAA "Elite 8" appearance in 2010, four Atlantic 10 Conference Tournament titles, and three other NCAA Tournament appearances.

Jennings then went on to spend 2011-13 as a professional player in Finland.

My name is Casey Pierce and I am the athletic director and head boys coach for Slidell ISD in Slidell, Texas. I am originally from Krum, Texas where I attended school and graduated in 1998. At Krum I was a member of the 1998 2A State championship basketball team as well as a three time state qualifier in cross country.

After graduation I enrolled at the University of North Texas where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology and minor in Health Promotions. Since graduating in 2003, I have spent the past eighteen years in Texas education with positions in Krum (2002-2005), Lufkin Hudson (2005-2008), and Anna (2008-20012).

In 2013 I began my employment with Slidell as an assistant coach prior to being named athletic director / head coach in 2017. Additionally, I serve as head coach for boys cross country and girls and boys track.

During my time in Slidell our programs have accumulated multiple district, regional, and state accomplishments. Our boys cross country teams have been district champions the past eight years and two time state qualifiers (2018, 2019) finishing seventh and eight respectively. Boys track has earned two district championships (2018, 2019) and qualified more than 90 athletes to the regional meet over the past seven seasons. Our boys’ basketball team has been district champions the past three years and currently holds a fifty-one game district winning streak. During this time boys’ basketball has won two regional titles (2019, 2020), a state title in 2019, and a co-state championship last year after reaching the state finals prior to the COVID shutdown. We are currently ranked number one in the Texas 1A state polls. In addition, Slidell has been named the 1A state free-throw champion the past seven consecutive seasons by the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches.

I have been married for fourteen years to my wife Terri, who is a project manager at the University of North Texas and is involved in the design and construction of many of the new buildings going up around campus. We have two sons, Carter who is in fifth grade at Slidell and Tucker who will turn four in March.

The Tigers were ranked No. 2 in the state and made it to the Class B championship game at The Palace of Auburn Hills, where they lost to Saginaw Buena Vista, 69-52. Guy, a 5-foot-10 spark plug, finished with six points and five assists in the game. Maurice Sain, who is a longtime assistant coach on Guy’s staff, led the Tigers with 14 points and 12 rebounds in the ’93 title game. Guy has built Muskegon into a perennial power. The Big Reds have a string of conference and district titles going, and who knows what the 20-2 team in 2019-20 could have done, as its season was cut short because of the COVID-19 shutdown.

Jesse has been the Head Coach for Boys Basketball at Norcross High School for 11 years and has been a teacher and coach at Norcross for 19 years. He spent 12 years in the Norcross High School Language Arts Department before transitioning to Health & PE classes. During his time as head coach, Norcross won two state titles (2011, 2013) and finished state runner-up in 2017 and 2018. He has a winning mark of better than 80% in Georgia’s largest and toughest athletic classification. His Norcross teams participate in showcases and invitationals across the nation. Jesse grew up in a family of educators and knew early on that teaching and coaching was something he wanted to do. He spends about 335 days a year at Norcross working on the basketball program, and during the season many of those days are over fourteen hours long. Jesse is successful in part because he holds the players in his program to a high standard and evolves the program from being “coach lead” to “player lead”, empowering the team to make suggestions and approach during games, and hold each other accountable. Coach McMillan has been recognized in the Gwinnett Daily Post as showing “ a great ability to build chemistry [among the players]”. His fondest moments and most satisfying victories are Final Four and State Championship victories and memorable playoff wins versus Pebblebrook (2017), McEachern (2018), and Grayson (2019). Those games stand out because the team rose up against great odds and competed at the highest level. He’s also a bit superstitious; he makes sure to use his lucky pencil to fill out the scorebook at each game! Coach McMillan, his wife Elizabeth, and two children (Elyse and Mason) are long-time Norcross and Peachtree Corners residents. We thank them for their support and sacrifice to make the Norcross basketball program the best it can be!

Jon Bollier enters his third season as an assistant coach for the Samford women's basketball program. He is involved in all aspects of the women's basketball program, including recruiting, on-the-floor coaching, scheduling and assisting in the day-to-day operations of the women's basketball program.

Bollier was instrumental in the turnaround the program experienced during the 2019-20 season. After winning just 10 games the previous season, the Bulldogs posted a record of 18-14, and won the program's first Southern Conference regular-season title with a 10-4 league record. The team then won the program's third SoCon Tournament title.

Bollier came to Samford from the University of Georgia, where he served as director of player personnel from August of 2015 until his hiring at Samford, and as an interim assistant coach from November of 2016 to March of 2017.

As the director of player personnel, Bollier was responsible for, among other things, analyzing film on opponents and for scouting purposes, creating a scouting report for the coaches, preparing the post-game scouting report and assisting with all on-campus recruiting. He also served as the director of the team's summer camps.

In his role as interim assistant coach, Bollier presented scouting reports to the players and coaches, scouted and analyzed film on opponents and prepared post-game self-scouting.

Georgia's 2017-18 team posted a record of 26-7 and reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Prior to his time at Georgia, Bollier worked as an assistant coach at Belmont from June of 2013 to August of 2015. During his time with the Bruins, he participated in all aspects of recruiting, and worked specifically with the perimeter players. He helped to build a consistently strong mid-major program for the Bruins.

"Working at a place like Belmont, he understands what the mission of Samford is about," Morris said. "I think he will be very successful in his role here."

Bollier's first stint at Georgia came when he served as the women's basketball video coordinator from August of 2010 to May of 2013. Among his duties were facilitating practice and game-day operations, and overseeing the team's managers.

Bollier played one season of basketball at Gardner-Webb University and Covenant College before receiving his bachelor's degree in sociology from Piedmont College Athens campus in 2009. He is married to the former Libby Lukens.

Mountain MacGillivray, a Philadelphia native who helped lead Quinnipiac to seven straight 20-win seasons and a trip to the Sweet 16 in 2017, was appointed the ninth head coach in La Salle University women's basketball history in April of 2018. He begins his third year at the helm of the program in 2020-21.

During the 2019-20 campaign, MacGillivray's Explorers showed vast improvements from year one to two of his tenure, including the program's best start since 2006 at 6-1. The Blue & Gold more than doubled both its overall (13) and Atlantic 10 (7) win totals in year two. The victory over the Penn State Nittany Lions was La Salle's first over a Power 5 program since November 2015 and first over a Big 10 school since taking down Northwestern in December of 1988. The Explorers also swept Big 5 and A-10 rival Saint Joseph's for the first time ever. A gritty win over the Hawks inside Hagan Arena was the first since 1998.

MacGillivray spent the previous nine seasons at Quinnipiac, including the last three as the associate head coach. The Bobcats had tremendous success during MacGillivray's tenure, qualifying for the NCAA Tournament in four of his last five seasons, including three wins in NCAA play over the final two.

MacGillivray's role with the Bobcats evolved through the years and one of his greatest responsibilities is within the recruiting of prospective student-athletes. His success in the recruiting landscape has only improved through the years as his last two incoming classes featured the four highest-ranked recruits in program history. In his eight years with the Bobcats, MacGillivray helped guide 18 All-Conference players, including 10 in his final three seasons, as well as three Defensive Player of the Year award winners and three Tournament MVPs.

Quinnipiac went undefeated in the MAAC in 2017-18 for the third time in six years, winning the conference regular season title for the fifth time in six seasons. After earning the league's automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament with a victory over Marist in the MAAC title game, the Bobcats earned a No. 9 seed and defeated Miami (Fla.) in the opening round.

In 2016-17, MacGillivray helped Quinnipiac to a pair of upset wins in NCAA Tournament action, defeating Marquette and Miami (Fla.) en route to the Sweet 16. The Bobcats won four conference championships and averaged 26 wins over thatt seven year span, and head coach Tricia Fabbri won MAAC Coach of the Year four times with the contributions of MacGillivray.

MacGillivray has 13 years of experience coaching at the high school and AAU levels, helping turn Archbishop Carroll High School in Radnor, Pennsylvania into one of the most successful prep programs in the country. He also guided the Philadelphia AAU Lady Running Rebels from 2000-02 and Delaware Valley Comets AAU team in 2006.

A 1996 graduate of Temple with a degree in journalism, MacGillivray and his wife Grace have eight children: Chiara, Mary, Brigid, Sean, Catherine, Joseph, Theresa, and Emily.

Whether he is coaching from the podium or the hardwood, he knows how to get into your heart and mind with a burning desire to achieve greatness. He has the ability to enlighten, entertain and inspire his audiences regardless if they are small businesses, big corporations, leadership conferences, and motivating teams or addressing large assemblies.

When Coach Ingle is speaking to a large audience, he has the ability to make each individual feel like he is talking specifically to them, which enhances their desire to take action.

Tony Ingle was born with a face deformity and had five operations. He grew up in the government housing projects of Dalton, Georgia and was so poor he had to fish his basketball shoes out of a dumpster so he could try out for the high school team.

After graduating from high school, Tony received a basketball scholarship to attend college. While participating in the National JUCO Tournament he suffered a horrific knee injury. Knowing that his playing days were numbered, he changed his dream from winning a National Championship as a player to winning one as a coach. A dream was born!

Tony climbed the coaching ladder that culminated as bing the interim head coach at BYU. After a nightmarish 0-19 campaign, full of injuries and blowout losses, BYU put Coach Ingle on the street.

During the three years in basketball wilderness, he performed a series of jobs to provide for his wife an five children – he sold carpet, worked as a color commentator at KSL TV for the Mountain West Conference and even did some standup comedy. Tony’s second chance finally came at Kennesaw State University where he orchestrated one of the best “comeback” stories in all sports. He coached the Owls to a 30 game winning streak and won the NCAA Division II National Championship, and it only took him 31 years. The Dream was born and he never let it die… “DREAMS COME TRUE!”

In 2015, the coach of the local high school, Richmond County Senior High in Rockingham, NC, asked him to volunteer as an assistant to help him run The System in with his team.

He did it for two years before he retired, compiling a record of 38-16. He set or helped set five NC prep records in that time. He retired, and the new coach didn't want to run The System.

So he missed a year and finally decided he had to get back in coaching. He quit his banking job to enter the teaching profession. He's teaching in the Business Department at Richmond Senior High and coach girls' and boys' golf there, and he coaches boys' basketball at Hamlet Middle School. He's been doing this for two years.

Coach Scott Berseth

In my early 20’s I coached freshman girls in the Cloverbelt Conference at Fall Creek. I also scouted for Hall of Fame Coach Arnie Skrukrud as they won multiple state titles. Went College at UW Eau Claire, where I watched some of the best D3 College basketball coached by Dick Bennett, Ken Anderson and Bo Ryan.

Next was Bloomer High School (Heart of the North Conference) where I coached lower levels.

I left there and went to Chippewa Falls (Big Rivers) where Jeff Olson and I rebuilt program and started their youth program (Cardinal Flight). They are currently the dominant D1 program in our area now.

Like most coaches in the state especially those on and around my age, we are heavily influenced by Dick Bennett and Bo Ryan. Coach Divilbiss are linked by a passion for basketball and love for the Buzz Defense.

Oregon City High School Coach Brad Smith.

The numbers speak for themselves. 26 seasons as head coach or co-head coach. 626 wins. 10 state championships. 3 unofficial national championships.

The real story is the feeling of family and community Brad Smith created along with a relentless pursuit of excellence.

Smith seized on the practice of traveling out of state to face tougher opponents, not afraid to lose and learn. No matter what the talent he gave his point guards free reign to run the offense and drilled everyone in the pressure defense that became an OC trademark.

Smith also founded the End of the Oregon Trail summer tournament that attracts elite touring teams from all over the country. He is famous for inviting young school-age athletes into the OC locker room before and during games to see his team and interact with them.

The Pioneers success did not come overnight. Smith took over the job at his hometown high school in 1980 after graduating from George Fox. Oregon City quickly went from winless to league champion but did not fare well in post-season. After back-to-back 2 point losses in the 1987 and 1988 state finals, there was some pity for the Pioneer squads that couldn’t quite win the big one.

The breakthrough came in 1992 with a 25-1 championship team. Then the 1994 squad bettered that at 26-1. That was the beginning of a 5 year run of consecutive titles which included three straight years as USA Today National Champion. The pieces were in place for the 1994 championship. The trio of Ashley Smith, Brad’s daughter, Brianne Meharry and Lindsay Yamasaki were unstoppable. Their three-year record of 76-1 was nothing short of amazing.

Smith stepped aside for a season to watch Ashley play college basketball but returned in 2000, now as co-head coach to his long-time assistant Carl Tinsley. That duo won 4 more state titles in a row from 2001-2004 and groomed the next head coach Kurt Guelsdorf.

Brad Smith continues to enjoy working with basketball players and keeping up with his extended Oregon City basketball family. He was inducted into the women’s basketball hall of fame in 2015.

Our family has been around athletics our entire life. My dad was an AD and principal for 25 years. He presided over 12 state championships and is in the Hall of Fame for football. My wife, my self and both brothers played in State Championships. The first basketball camp I went to as a 12 year old was coached by Dick Bennett (at the time head boys coach at Eau Claire Memorial HS)

Next was Bloomer High School (Heart of the North Conference) where I coached lower levels.

I went back to Bloomer and Coached both my lower daughter’s lower level teams then the head varsity jobs in Girls Golf, Boys Golf and Girls basketball. I started their youth program (Momentum Basketball) when I was there.

These last 4 years my daughter played 3 sports at the varsity level and I wanted to watch and not miss anything,

I currently spend time with (2) teams (coached both this summer). Arcadia girls (Coulee Conference) and Thorp boys (Western Cloverbelt).

I am currently working on a parent handbook surrounding athletics. My plan is to speak to parents starting next fall. Much will be based on my experience as a coach but also plenty on my path as a parent.

Based on what transpired in a few short moments in early 2006, Coach Jim Johnson is now an authority on the subject of realizing your dreams. In his many public-speaking appearances, the Rochester, New York resident relates his role in a basketball game that got Hollywood calling. He also emphasizes the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship, delivering his talks with a heartfelt style that has brought audiences to their feet.

Coach Johnson has developed winning high-school basketball teams for 30 years, taking over three losing varsity programs and turning them into winners in short periods of time. Of his 428 career victories, one in particular will surely never be duplicated.

On Feb. 15, 2006, Coach Johnson made the kindhearted gesture of inserting his autistic manager, Jason McElwain, now known to the world as J-Mac into Greece Athena High School’s final home game, which the Trojans won 79-43. J-Mac scored 20 points in just over four minutes, including six three-point baskets, to become an instant national celebrity. Coach Johnson, also, was featured in major news outlets around the country.

To make the Hollywood ending complete, Greece Athena captured the first Section V title of Coach Johnson’s career a few weeks later.

Overall record at Varsity level 428-221
Record at Greece Athena 322-114

Freddy Johnson, a Greensboro native, has spent his entire basketball coaching career at Greensboro Day School. Graduating from Grimsley High School in 1972 and Greensboro College in 1977, he furthered his education with a Master’s degree from North Carolina A&T State University in 1984. Johnson played basketball on the collegiate level for two years at Greensboro College, where he realized he wanted to coach basketball, gaining valuable experience for his life’s work coaching YMCA basketball teams. Just out of Greensboro College, Johnson began volunteering with the Greensboro Day School basketball squad, and he was soon appointed head boys’ varsity basketball coach at the relatively young independent school. One year later, he also became the athletics director. During his over 40 years at GDS, the athletic program has grown to include more than 40 teams and 85 percent middle and upper school student participation. There have also been well over 150 conference and 40 state championship teams during his tenure as athletics director. He’s won more than 77 percent of his games) and is the winningest coach in North Carolina high school basketball history. That include going over the 1,000-victory mark early in the 2017-18 season, a rare accomplishment. He has coached teams to eight state championships in the North Carolina Independent School Athletic Association (NCISAA) and was a finalist eight other times. Entering the 2017-18 season, his teams had won 24 championships in the Piedmont Athletic Conference of Independent Schools (PACIS), and Johnson had been the PACIS Conference Coach of the Year 21 times. In 2015, he led the Bengals to the Dick’s Sporting Goods High School National Invitational Tournament in New York City and was named the USA Today North Carolina Coach of the Year. Johnson’s success at GDS has led to his selection as a coach in six all-star games, including the 2013 McDonald’s All-America Game in Chicago and the 1997 Capital Classic All-Star Game in Washington, D.C. He has been enshrined into the N.C. Gaters Hall of Fame (2006), Greensboro College Athletic Hall of Fame (2009) and Guilford County Sports Hall of Fame (2011), as well as being awarded the Charles N. Carter NCISAA Athletic Director Cup (2015) and the Greensboro College Alumni Excellence Award (2008). A former player recently wrote, “The impact that you (Freddy Johnson) have had on my life and many other young men looms large. I wanted to let you know that your influence affected the direction of my life – in a very positive fashion. I think what I value most about our time together was that I was able to apply the principles that I learned from you in life itself, outside of athletics. I didn’t realize it at the time, but the hard work and teamwork you instilled in me would be something I would be able to use later in many life situations.” Johnson and his wife, Mary Marr Dillard, have two children, Robert and Katherine, and one grandson. @CoachJ1977 FreddyJohnson@greensboroday.org

Dunlap returns to the Westchester campus with more than 30 years of college and NBA coaching experience.

Coach Dunlap was the head coach of the Charlotte Bobcats for the 2012-2013 season, becoming the first coach in NBA history to win three-times as many games as the year before. During that season, the Bobcats set franchise records for the most fast break points and the least number of turnovers per game. Before arriving in Charlotte, Coach spent six years as an assistant coach in the professional and college ranks.

Coach Dunlap’s previous head coaching experience also includes three seasons with the Adelaide 36ers in Australia’s National Basketball League and five seasons at California Lutheran University. From 1994-97, he led the 36ers to a 59-33 record (.641) and three straight appearances in the NBL Final Four, including advancing to the Grand Final game in 1995.

Throughout my nearly 21 years of coaching Coach Matt Smith always enjoyed attending coaching clinics and spending time with other coaches discussing the game and growing his knowledge. He began directing coaching clinics in Chattanooga, Tennessee because he wanted to improve the game locally and take advantage of the brilliant basketball minds already living in the area. He wanted to see the best teachers of the game in the gym with basketball players, showing the concepts they were teaching. So that is what he created and United Basketball Clinics was founded. The clinics are held on basketball courts where featured coaches and players demonstrate drills and concepts on the court. Due to the success of those early clinics in Chattanooga, we are expanding our reach to regions around the country. He hopes you will attend one of our United Basketball Clinics. Please contact him if you have any questions or suggestions on how we can make his clinics even better.

Details: After nine years of coaching Franklin, Audrey Taylor’s team put it all together in perhaps the greatest girls basketball season in state history. The Warriors were the third team to have an undefeated record in New Jersey history, the most wins of any undefeated team, and a Tournament of Champions victory.

The team now has three TOC appearances in a row. After going 12-17 Taylor’s first season, the team has progressively improved, and after going 14-10 four seasons ago, Franklin has gone 85-15 since.

“(We created) a standard to be tough, defend, and play with your heart, with passion,” Taylor said. “A lot of my kids thrive off of my energy so I would think that I set a standard and it was a winning standard and based on the things that we were going to do, we were going to defend, we were going to rebound the ball and we were going to be aggressive on offense.”

She did this while working through the death of her mom, who died during the season. Taylor said the empathy and love of her players helped her move through it.

“They’ve seen me be strong for so long that they finally were able to give that back to me. They kept me smiling, kept me encouraged and honestly it just felt good to be around them,” she said. “I give the credit to them and just the kids that they are”

Through all that, the team never lost, dismantling opponents with a well-rounded cast led by McDonald’s All American Diamond Miller.

Taylor helped her players mature on and off the court as they proved themselves as one of the best teams in the country.

Greg Tonagel begins his 14th season at the helm of the Indiana Wesleyan University men’s basketball team in 2018-19.

Tonagel and the Wildcats have won three NAIA Division II National Championships in a five year spans with titles in 2014, 2016, and 2018. Indiana Wesleyan won the 2014 red banner in unprecedented fashion as they became the first team to win all five of their games at the national tournament by double digit. In 2016, Indiana Wesleyan defeated the top two seeds in the tournament to claim the title. IWU beat four top-15 teams in 2018 en route to the title, including No. 1 IU East and No. 7 Saint Francis in the championship game, the fourth win over the Cougars during the season.

Tonagel is a three-time NABC/NAIA Division II National Coach of the Year.

In his 13 season as a head coach, Tonagel has already led Indiana Wesleyan to three national championships, one Final Four, five Elite Eight finishes, and nine Crossroads League regular season championships, including seven straight from 2009-15. Tonagel has three Crossroads League Tournament championships as well with wins in 2010, 2015, and 2018.

Indiana Wesleyan has finished three seasons as the No. 1-ranked team in NAIA Division II. Tonagel's teams have spent time in the NAIA top-five in each of the last 12 seasons.

In 13 years as head coach, Tonagel is the winningest coach in program history. He has the highest winning percentage (.786), most wins (361), most NAIA national tournament victories (29), most national tournament appearances (11), most Crossroads League regular season championships (9), and most Crossroads League Tournament championships (3).

The former Valparaiso (Ind.) University point guard, known for his hard work and energy, has brought those characteristics to the basketball program. Tonagel was introduced as head men’s basketball coach on April 1, 2005. Drawing from experience gained from leading the Valparaiso Crusaders to four NCAA tournament appearances as a starting point guard, along with the tutelage of mentor Homer Drew, Tonagel has helped orchestrate a new era of Wildcat basketball.

Prior to Tonagel’s hiring, the Wildcats had won seven games and finished last in the Mid-Central College Conference. The program improved by 10 wins under Tonagel’s tutelage in his first year on the bench and reached the NAIA Elite Eight in his second season. Making a name for himself when it comes to program building, Tonagel has done it through sound developmental teaching and high caliber recruiting.

Much of the unprecedented success of the Wildcats can be attributed to the culture Tonagel built at IWU. The IWU culture is built around two biblically transforming principles; I am Third and Fearless. "It’s our core belief that God has created us for greatness when we realize our potential in becoming “third” and “fearless.” What I have come to realize is that I don’t just coach basketball, I coach people” comments Tonagel. This has helped the influence of IWU basketball to extend far beyond the court. Tonagel and his staff have been committed to using basketball as a platform for discipleship.

Prior to his current position, Tonagel served as Director of Basketball Operations at Valparaiso University, where he played in four NCAA Tournaments. He also led his LaPorte High School team to the last single class state finals in 1997. Greg and his wife, Amy, along with their three children Jace, William, and Allie reside in Marion. He is active in a number of organizations and causes, most notably his church.

In 2007 he took over as the head coach at Oklahoma Wesleyan University where he led the Eagles to the 2009 NAIA DII National Championship, winning a NAIA DII record 39 consecutive games. Bostwick then spent 6 seasons at Southwestern Assemblies of God University where in 2013 he once again led his Lions to the National Championship Game. Making Bostwick the only coach to ever lead programs to championship games as a high school coach, assistant college coach, and as head coach at both the NAIA DI and DII level. Bostwick received National Coach of the Year Honors in 2009, 2010, & 2013. His 146-29 win-loss record at OKWU over his five seasons at the helm makes OKWU one of the most successful programs in the country. He has coached over 12 All-Americans and 5 NAIA Players of the Year including the No. 1 and No. 3 All-Time Three-point Shooters in the History of College Basketball – Brandon Cole – 527 & Steve Briggs – 498

Bostwick has directed Basketball Camps all over the world including Alaska, Hawaii, the Himalayas of Bhutan to the jungles of Africa and all across the United States. He is a sought after Clinician Speaker who has spoken at the NCAA Final Four and for Glacier Coaching Clinics. He has worked for both Point Guard College and Northwest Basketball Camps, which are the two largest camps in the United States.

This past season Bostwick returned to Oklahoma Wesleyan University and led his team back to the NAIA DII Sweet 16. Bostwick considers coaching a ministry and runs his program like a family. “Our camps are provide excellent high level basketball skills training, but we also invest valuable time in teaching our campers how to include their faith in their game along with teaching the value of leadership, hard work and character.”

This past October, Bostwick was asked by a close coaching friend whom he had been blessed to pour into and influence spiritually the following question. “If you were going to start a new ministry, then what would it be?” They both knew the answer was to be an encourager to coaches and help them grow spiritually. From that conversation, Bostwick began praying and in his spirit was birthed “SPIRIT LED COACH”. The mission of the ministry is to both encourage and empower coaches. On March 3, Bostwick launched a movement called SLC3 which challenges coaches to take their walk with Christ to another level. He has a big vision for the future of the ministry, but understands it will take time and a move of the Spirit. The first step is a Christian Coaches Clinic July 19-21 called the SLC3 Experience. Go to www.spiritledcoach.com to learn more.

In addition to Coach Bostwick’s professional accolades, he considers his greatest success to be at home, where he and his wife of 25 years enjoy raising their four children and are thrilled to bring their family back to their Bartlesville home.

Miller accumulated 861 victories coaching boys and girls high school basketball on a journey that took him through Woodbury, Milner, Monticello and Cartersville high schols before he landed in Henry County. Thats where he spent the final 27 years of his coaching career. Its a place Miller never expected to coach or fall in love with, but he did. Millers greatest success on the court came before he arrived at Henry County. He coached in the state tournament 15 times 12 with boys teams, three with girls teams. He led the Monticello boys to a state runner-up finish in 1973 and had an impressive run of three semifinal appearances in eight years at Cartersville (1977, 79, 81). Miller then thought he was headed to Fayette County, but was lured to Henry County and never left. He coached both boys and girls basketball and was the long-time athletic director. He led the Warhawks to state tournament appearances in 1982, 1983 and 1986, while leading the Lady Hawks to the playoffs in 1982, according to the Georgia High School Basketball Project. Miller said he survived a long career because of his wife, Debbie. The two have been married 42 years.
