Play Basketball at Tucker Middle School

With over nine years of experience playing at various levels through middle school, high school, and intramural college ball, I have developed a strong skillset that I believe all young players can benefit from. More importantly, I have a passion for teaching and know the best ways to improve young players' skills while maintaining a positive atmosphere to learn in.

"Coach Ty have helped Jermel so much! He has seen many improvements in his shot and ability to use his left hand. Looking forward to seeing how much better he gets!

Early on basketball was something I loved when I found out that You have to dribble the ball and score It. Then I was introduced to Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant and my love for the game of basketball took off to another level when that’s all I wanted to do! I played middle school and high school for my school team as well as AAU during the summer time while attending school workouts. Entering my junior year I make the team but the doctor needs a physical so at that point I find out I have scoliosis and cannot play competitively how I’d liked to without pain in my back. So I dive into the analytics and processing the breakdown of the game for years until I moved to Atlanta. I’ve been coaching for the Atlanta Strikers for 3 years coaching from ages 11-17. We have traveled out of state to compete in tournaments. Won nationals in Tennessee for 7th grade, won nationals in Virginia Beach for 8th grade, and competed in circuit-level play for 9th grade and varsity. My love for teaching the game the right way runs deep because I idolized Hall of Fame players growing up and want the game to continue to impact lives the way It did mine.

With 14 years of basketball coaching, I've honed the ability to unlock each player's potential. My dedication goes beyond drills; I cultivate skill and foster a deep passion for the game. I strive to make every session impactful, building confidence on and off the court.

For over 25 years, I've nurtured basketball talent, focusing on skill development and strategic thinking. My passion lies in fostering a supportive environment where players thrive, both on and off the court. I help players elevate their game.

With over 35 years dedicated to basketball, I empower players to unlock their full potential. My tailored approach to coach and player development aid in tangible and proven results. I work with players of all skill levels starting ages 8 and up. Weather your just learning the game of are a pro player trying to add more to your bag Id love to help you get better!! Let’s get to work!!
