Three Associated Press Michigan High School Players of the Year: Info here on these 3 players
As of this writing Basics has 135 program graduates playing college basketball (or who have played). 14 D-1. Please review these 2 links to learn why the Basics methodology is the most competitive training for beginners, intermediate or even the best players. This last category, “the best players”, fascinates me because while the best players in the world (NBA, D1 and college players) still work on the drills Basics teaches everyday in practice, a large percentage of lower level players (Middle school and high school) forgo this primary work believing that games and tournaments are a better way to improve.
Never confuse competition with competitive growth and never mistake activity for achievement.
