Philosophy:

 

Coach Stinnett is all about using basketball to improve the lives of his players in all ways. He is into total person development not just basketball development. He was a first time college graduate from his family, and knows what basketball can do for a person. He also is all about respecting the game, and approaching each aspect of the game with great integrity.

Coach Stinnett has sent 30 players to the college ranks, and also helped several players get to the professional level in Europe, Latin America, and Asia.

This is a good article to explain the relationship Coach Stinnett builds with his players, and his desire for players to use game of basketball to improve their lives.
