Country’s largest state-level basketball convention moving clinic to virtual format
In response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches announced that its annual clinic will be moved to an online format.
The clinic, which will take place between May 11-17, will feature more than 90 speakers from all levels, including Texas’s Shaka Smart, Texas Tech’s Chris Beard and professional coaches from the Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Clippers and Dallas Wings.
TABC Executive Director Rick Sherley said the virtual clinic is an opportunity for the TABC to provide professional and player development information from a more diverse group of speakers and to reach a wider audience.
“This format allows us to provide coaching insight from some of the best basketball minds in the United States, including coaches from the NBA, WNBA, collegiate level and successful high school programs,” Sherley said in a press release. “That is not the only good news, though. The online format allows the TABC to share this hardwood wisdom with coaches, players and fans located both inside and outside of Texas.”
The virtual format, which is being hosted by CoachTube, is serving as a substitute for what has become the country’s largest state-level basketball convention, averaging more than 2,100 attendees for the past seven years.
