Welcome back! We hope your off season was productive, and you were able to do the things you wanted. A new season always brings high hopes and expectations. Your IBCA also has high hopes and expectations, and we will work hard to represent you and promote Indiana High School Basketball.
We need your help to continue being one of the top coaches’ organizations in the country. We want to continue our traditions while growing and evolving.
Please take care of your membership. Membership runs from October to October each year. We would like to see 100 percent membership from our head coaches. Your membership not only benefits you as a coach, but it also benefits your athletes. Please go to the IBCA website and check out the more than 20 benefits of being a member. Head coaches also are responsible for signing up members from their staff.
Please continue to support our Coaches vs. Cancer program. This has been a huge success in the past. We want to continue our part to defeat this disease.
Do your best to support our corporate partners. They have some great products and do a wonderful job of supporting our organization. We are pleased to announce our partnership with VictorySwap. This program should prove beneficial to both you and your entire school. If you have not done so yet, check them out.
Finally, we all like to win games. But why are we really coaching? We, as coaches, have been handed a tremendous responsibility to help our players grow. We need to take that responsibility very seriously while we are helping to mold these young people into model citizens through the game of basketball.
"In your preparation to take on the task of helping others enlarge themselves, the first thing you need to do is improve and enlarge yourself because only when you are growing and enlarging yourself are you able to help others to the same." -- John Maxwell
Good luck to you this season. We wish you the best on and off the court.
-- Tom Beach
