About Coach P

Coach P Coach P's win and loss record over the past 11 years:

Wins	Loses
296	138

Hi and welcome to the site.

My goal as a coach is to work for the members of the team and to make them better today then they were yesterday. The only thing I ask in return is a commitment to learning and playing hard. I coach for 1 reason and it's because of the young men and women that are involved in the program. I take great pride in helping them develop their fundamental skills and watching their skills improve. Basketball is a game of reps and my goal is to teach them the correct way to implement those fundamental skills by increasing their reps over time, then it's up to them how hard they want to work to improve those fundamental skills.

While winning is the desired end result, it is not the most important ingredient. Learning and improving is most important along with being an honest, good, clean player who is academically strong.

As the saying goes a team has to learn how to lose before they can learn how to win, and I believe this statement to be very true.
