Outstanding Coaches:
Because we are “The #1 Instructional Camp In The Midwest,” you will find that some of the best high school and D-3 coaches in the Midwest return year after year to coach our summer camps. They know they will be teaching strong, basic fundamentals to dedicated young players who are willing to learn and are eager to advance to a higher basketball skill level.
It's not surprising that most of these outstanding coaches have super won-loss records. Legends such as Gordie Kerkman of West Aurora H.S. in Aurora, Illinois, and Ken Crawford of Teutopolis (Illinois) H.S. both have over 600 wins. Each also has an Illinois State Championship plus a number of Elite Eight and Sweet Sixteen trophies.
Other Hoop Mountain Midwest head coaches such as David Weber, Glenbrook North H.S., Northbrook, Illinois, and Steve Bennett, New Castle H.S., New Castle, Indiana, also have won state titles and have posted spectacular winning seasons.
They are joined by a staff of 30-40 other high school and D-3 coaches. They are made up of a mix of seasoned, veteran coaches and younger on-the-rise winners mostly from Illinois and neighboring states. All of them follow the Hoop Mountain Midwest “Teach, Demonstrate, and Motivate” philosophy.
It is the strength of this group that continues to attract other top-notch coaches to join our elite coaching ranks.
