What They're Saying About The Experience

Michael Sain

Manager of Basketball Operations for the Osceola Magic

I really felt like there was a high level of transparency/openness with all of the speakers and panelists. I felt like we truly received direct insight into the industry and it is was beneficial to gain that knowledge and perspective! My experience in 2023 really helped me prepare for my interview and opportunity to work in the NBA.

Ben Ostrow

Gwynedd Mercy Men's Basketball Assistant Coach

I truly loved everything about the event.

I left the event feeling much more knowledgeable and confident about my future in the sport and was able to connect with many great, like-minded people. The entire experience was amazing.

Mark Jablonski

Schreiner University Men's Basketball Assistant Coach

Great experience at a very well run event.  It was a great opportunity to meet other coaches and executives. I enjoyed the panels but the breakout sessions were amazing since they felt like true 'school sessions.'

Adrin Dalton

Founder of L.e.A.D Player Development

I love it!!! Great way to interact with different coaches of the same level, higher level and lower level. Great place to build relationships out of your comfort zone as well.

Greg Richards

Arcadia High School Head Basketball Coach

I felt that the environment fostered building relationships between coaches. I really enjoyed the time between speakers with the other coaches, and had some really good conversations at the social. I got the sense that this was a place to further my career via relationships.

Jordan Allen

Aspiring Pro Personnel Scout

I learned a lot about basketball operations, analytics, scouting, coaching and GM responsbilities. It was also great connecting with people who are also looking to work in basketball and learning about their path. 

It was a lot of in depth information that will help a ton with my basketball career! 

Jordan Laceste

Great way for college students, coaches/trainers, basketball enthusiasts to find a way into the industry. Not many conferences in sports that allow us to learn first-hand what industry professionals do in the world of basketball. Will be coming again.
