I’m Wayne Mendezona, Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Corban University and founder of Quick Handle Basketball. I’ve spent over 30+ years developing athletes and have trained more than 50,000 players—from youth to college and professional levels. I specialize in ball handling, scoring, and game performance—helping athletes build confidence, decision-making, and real in-game results. My training is not just drills—it’s about developing complete players who can perform under pressure, think the game, and separate themselves from the competition. I don’t train average. I train athletes who are serious about growth, discipline, and competing at a higher level. If that’s you, let’s get to work.

"My son said Coach Mendo was far and away the most effective coach he's ever worked with! His knowledge, tools, and willingness to share wisdom are incredible. I've never seen my son so impressed by a coach or heard him so enthusiastic about what he learned in a session. Very grateful!

I coach 6th/7th grade basketball and also run summer camps for select programs. I help personally train students from 3rd-12th grade. My specialties include 1 on 1 moves to create space for shots or driving to the basket, as well as shooting form and defensive tactics. My highest level of play is AAU High School basketball.

From gym floors to tournament courts, I bring 35 years of basketball coaching experience in fundamentals, tactics, and player development. I blend precise skill work—shooting, footwork, defense—with tailored practice plans and clear communication. I teach with disciplined enthusiasm and a focus on confidence.

"He’s helped me improve on every aspect of my game (tremendously with ball handling and shooting) and it’s a little annoying at times but he sprinkles some life lessons that definitely help later in small but definitive ways
