Coaching Clinic - June 2010 , Coaches Odom and Casey

With the 2010 Can-Am On-Court Basketball Coaches Clinic just over four months away, it is time to share some exciting news. This summer’s clinic (once again, sponsored by cobacamp.com) promises to be one of the best ever - as always, entertaining and insightful. The presenters will deliver an impactful message, provide clinic attendees with a wealth of information, and may change how some coaches view team basketball.

As of today, Coach Don Casey and Coach Dave Odom have made an enthusiastic commitment to spend two days (June 4-5, 2010) sharing knowledge in Windsor, Ontario. Coach Casey is well known for his NBA coaching experience and his recent book (2008) entitled Own The Zone which he wrote with Ralph Pim. A master of teaching zone principles, Coach Casey has worked with some of the best coaches and teams in the sport – Paul Westhead, John Calipari, PJ Carlesimo, Chicago Bulls, Boston Celtics, and Team USA 2008. Given his international experience and his sport leadership positions, Coach Casey provides a well rounded vision and approach to the game.

Coach Odom, highly regarded for recruiting and helping develop Tim Duncan while coaching at Wake Forest, is a four time recipient of conference (ACC and SEC) Coach of the Year honors. With Final Four experience, NCAA tournament success, and NIT championships to his credit, Coach Odom has an impressive resume of college coaching experience. Teams that have benefited from his expertise are Virginia, Wake Forest, and South Carolina (who recently handed high flying, and number one ranked, Kentucky their first loss). Presently, apart from being a clinic speaker in great demand, Coach Odom is Chairman of the popular NCAA preseason EA Sports Maui Invitational that takes place every Thanksgiving.

This year’s clinic will be held June 4^th-5^th at the University of Windsor (St. Denis Centre). For the clinic brochure, go to www.cobacamp.com/coachesClinic.html .
