Hoops U. Basketball Coaches Academy
April 26-27, 2013
Minneapolis, MN
We can now officially announce our Keynote speaker for the 1st ever Hoops U. Basketball Coaches Academy!

I am excited and honored to announce that Dick Bennett will be the keynote speaker for the VIP dinner reception! [must purchase VIP Ticket to enter reception and dinner]

Coach Bennett is known throughout the basketball world as one of the game's pre-eminent defensive coaches and his teams were often national leaders in scoring defense.

When others speak of Bennett, the same words and phrases are repeated...humble, passionate, intense, tough, competitive, fundamentally sound, a great teacher.

The success of Bennett's teams over the years is the result of taking care of the basketball, working for good shots and playing hard-nosed, team defense. The best of Bennett's players are not necessarily spectacular, but rather dependable, fundamentally sound, intense and mentally tough.

In a Sports Illustrated poll, 115 college basketball coaches were asked the question, "If you could only go to one coaching clinic, whose would it be?" The top four vote-getters were Mike Krzyzewski, Rick Majerus, Dick Bennett and Bob Knight.
