One of my best friends in the profession is Jim Boone, head coach at Tusculum College. He is someone who cares greatly about teaching the game of basketball and sharing those concepts with other coaches. Each year he puts on a coaching clinic and this year he may have outdone himself. Besides hearing Jim speak and seeing him take his team through a practice, he has three other speakers worth the trip. Dean Lockwood, the women's assistant at the University of Tennessee, and another friend of mine will speak about "Building a Team Culture." Mike Roller, who I have heard on numerous occasions will speak on "Post Play" and he is one of the best in this area. Coach Murray Bartow will speak about "Offensive Basketball."My only regret is that we will be knee deep in practice this weekend and I won't be able to get there for this clinic. If you are in driving distance, I wouldn't miss this one!
