THE PROCESS
HOW It Works
From application to the end of the year. This isn't a course. It's a complete immersion into building and running a championship high school basketball program alongside a championship coach who takes this as seriously as you do. You MUST BE COMMITTED
1
APPLY & INTERVIEW
Submit your application and we'll schedule a 30-minute interview with Steve. This isn't gatekeeping — it's fit-finding. Steve wants to know your program, your goals, and what you need most from this year.
2
GET ACCEPTED & ONBOARD
If it's a fit, you'll receive your acceptance, get access to the private community, and complete a deep onboarding questionnaire so Steve understands your program before Day 1.
3
SCHEDULE FIRST SESSION
You'll have scheduled private sessions with Steve throughout the year, plus access during office hours. Text access for time-sensitive questions during the season.
4
JOIN THE COMMUNITY
The private group stays active year-round. Share film clips, practice plans, tough decisions. Learn as much from the other 9 coaches as you do from Steve.
5
YEAR END GOAL SETTING
In Month 12, Steve works with you directly to document what you've built, what changed in your program, and what your next year looks like. You leave with a real roadmap.
QUESTIONS
FREQUENTLY Asked
From application to the end of the year. This isn't a course. It's a complete immersion into building and running a championship high school basketball program alongside a championship coach who takes this as seriously as you do. You MUST BE COMMITTED
Is this only for head coaches?
Head coaches are the primary audience, but assistant coaches who want to be a head coach or on a clear path to their own head coaching role will also be considered. The interview is where Steve will determine fit, not the application form.
What State or region is this for?
F\Nationwide. This is fully virtual. Steve has worked with coaches from across the country through TeachHoops and welcomes applicants regardless of geography. Only one coach from a specific region.
Is there a refund policy?
Because of the format and the personal time Steve invests, refunds are not available after the program begins. Steve takes the interview process seriously precisely to ensure mutual fit before any payment is made.
Are there any in person coaching?
This program is currently fully virtual to allow for consistency and flexibility. You will receive invitations to any live events or clinics where Steve is speaking, and there may be opportunities to bring him to your location for on-site coaching or program evaluation.
What happens if I can't make a live session?
All sessions are recorded and available to the cohort. That said, live attendance is strongly encouraged — the discussion and group dynamic are a big part of the value.
How many 1 on 1 sessions are there?
The program includes dedicated 1-on-1 time with Steve at key points in the year. Exact scheduling is coordinated during onboarding based on your program calendar and priorities. Steve will give you cell phone number and personal email address
Will there be a year 2?
Possibly. Steve will evaluate interest and capacity after the first cohort completes. Year 1 members will have first access and input on the format of any future cohorts.
WHO THIS IS FOR
CRITERIA For The Fellowship
Steve will personally interview every applicant. He's looking for coaches who are coachable, committed, and ready to do the work — not just collect information.
1
ACTIVE HEAD OR ASSISTANT COACH
You're currently coaching and have real skin in the game players, a program, a community depending on you
2
FULL-YEAR COMMITMENT
This is a 12-month program. Steve is investing deeply in you he expects the same in return. Attendance, engagement, and follow-through are required.
3
OPEN TO BEING CHALLENGED
Steve will push you. The best coaches in the cohort will push you too. If you're looking for validation, this isn't it. If you're looking to grow, you're in the right place.
4
READY TO SHARE & CONTRIBUTE
The community only works if everyone gives. You'll be expected to share film, plans, and honest feedback — not just consume what others put in.
