Painter, Parkinson, Miller, Davenport to speak at IBCA clinic
Patterson to offer a coaching certification session at annual gathering set for April 21-22 at Lawrence North
An “Indiana’s own” lineup of speakers on Friday night, a dozen high school coaches, a roundtable of retired coaches and an Issues & Answers Forum highlight the agenda for the 2017 Indiana Basketball Coaches Association Spring Clinic.
Purdue’s Matt Painter, IUPUI’s Austin Parkinson and Hanover College’s Jon Miller – a trio of former Indiana high school players who have gone on to become highly successful college coaches after playing for in-state colleges – headline the Friday evening agenda.
Sessions begin at 11:30 a.m. Friday, April 21 and run through 9:45 p.m. at Lawrence North High School in Indianapolis. Sessions resume at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, April 22 and conclude at 12:30 p.m.
Cost to attend the clinic is $50 for current-year IBCA members and $100 for non-members. Anyone wishing to register for the clinic now must do so "at the door" on April 21 or April 22. Online preregistration for the clinic ended on April 10.
In addition, Scott Davenport of Bellarmine University, which reached the NCAA Division II national semifinals this season, and Jason Otter of Shoot-A-Way Basketball also are on the weekend itinerary. Also, Paul Patterson, former coach at Taylor University, will provide an IHSAA coaches' certification session.
Also, the 12 IBCA Coaches of the Year -- who were announced last week -- will offer their secrets to success.
Boys coaches scheduled to speak are Valparaiso’s Barak Coolman, Crown Point’s Clint Swan, Warren Central’s Criss Beyers, Oak Hill’s Kevin Renbarger, Connersville Kerry Brown and Floyd Central’s Todd Sturgeon.
Girls coaches on the itinerary include Kankakee Valley’s Ryan Myers, Northridge’s Doug Springer, Northwestern’s Kathie Layden, North Central’s DeeAnn Ramey, Wood Memorial’s Johnnie Bartley and Mike McBride of Eastern (Pekin).
The roundtable of retired coaches tips off the clinic agenda and will feature John Heaton, Wayne Kreiger and Don Lostutter on a panel moderated by Indiana SportsTalk host Bob Lovell. The three coaches will discuss steps that they took to make their programs successful for the long run.
Heaton amassed a 418-377 ledger in 33 seasons as a varsity boys’ coach at Eastern Greene, Southwestern (Shelby), Silver Creek and Shelbyville high schools. Kreiger compiled a 588-233 record in 36 seasons as a varsity girls’ coach at Columbia City and Fort Wayne Canterbury, leading the Cavaliers to the 2013 Class A state championship and amassing three state runner-up finishes (one at Columbia City, two at Canterbury). Lostutter amassed 296 victories in 22 seasons as a boys' varsity coach at Indianapolis Arlington, Rushville, Lafayette Jeff and Madison.
Questions from those in attendance will be encouraged.
