Coaching the coaches is helping make Canadian basketball better

It’s early on a gorgeous summer Saturday morning but the steamy gym is crowded. It’s time to improve basketball skills — the hard work of personal development takes place in the off-season — and time spent around and on the court is invaluable.
But instead of kids working on ball-handling or shooting skills or doing the drills that will make them better players once the snow starts flying, the stands are full of coaches learning to be better coaches, a vital step in the progression not only of themselves but of the game in Canada as a whole.
