Coach T.
My name is Terrence. The kids call me Coach T.
Basketball has been part of my life as a player first. I spent five years at Oklahoma State under a Hall of Fame coach, won Big XII championships, and was part of Final Four and Sweet Sixteen teams. After college, I played professionally and trained pros, college players, and kids still learning what real confidence feels like.
Now I coach basketball in Dallas on my own court. I know what it feels like to handle pressure, get shots up when your legs are tired, guard somebody who keeps coming at you, and stay locked in when the game gets physical.
Having my own court means I can be available in a way most trainers cannot. We can train consistently, keep the groups small, and build real relationships. Small numbers mean I see your kid. I see how they move. I see what they're working on. I see what they're avoiding.
I coach with passion. I coach with intentionality. The details are how kids learn to trust the work.
It's bigger than basketball.
Midnight Madness is what happens when the court turns into a family room. The kids come over, we work, we eat, we compete, and then we slow down enough to talk about life.
Some nights are loud. Some nights get real. We might be playing games one minute and talking about confidence, pressure, discipline, or how to carry yourself the next. That is still coaching to me.
I want these kids to leave better than they came in. Better players, yes. Better teammates. Better sons and daughters. Better young people who know somebody is paying attention.
Develop young men and women who can compete on the court and thrive off it.
That's the whole thing.
