 Coach T has definitely been a GREAT addition to our team! His knowledge of the game and positive attitude has helped our littles grow tremendously. He has joined our team full force and has brought so much to the team! Building the foundation for our student athletes and donating his time for these athletes. 

Coach T, a valley native brings over 20 years of experience and passion to our basketball program. He attended Marcos de Niza High School and played on various AAU teams in the valley.  He became a coach to help teach our student athletes the fundamentals of basketball and to enhance their skills off the court. 

We are so grateful to have him be part of our Sizzle Academy Team! His daughter is on the 1st grade team and is such a joy to watch play! The amount of enthusiasm, effort and dedication is something we are so fortunate to have.

My coaching philosophy is to be open and honest with my players, while holding them accountable for their efforts. It is important that every player on my team feels welcome and understands that a positive attitude, confidence, and respect will take them a long way in life.” – Coach T
