IBCA mentoring program continues

The IBCA is continuing its Mentoring Program in the 2022-23 season. The program was started in 2019-20. The effort was upgraded in 2020-21 and takes another step forward in 2022-23. IBCA president-elect Michael Adams of Evansville Reitz and IBCA president Craig Teagle of Huntington North coordinate this program.

Posted in the resources section of the IBCA web site is a document titled, “You got the job, so what happens next? – Program Organization.” This information was part of a presentation that IBCA executive director Steve Witty and IBCA assistant director Renee Turpa gave for the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association during the NCAA Women’s Final Four in Indianapolis a few years ago. The guidelines in this document will be helpful for any coach, experienced or inexperienced, to be organized and prepared for the challenges of being a head basketball coach.

If you cannot find what you are looking for in the mentoring document and prefer to talk to a coach for ideas and advice, please contact one of the following coaches who have agreed to be Mentor Coaches. Any or all will share ideas to help you become a better coach.
