THINK TANK

BLOOMINGTON

SEPTEMBER 26 2025

SPRINGHILL SUITES

The feel for the game think tank is about two things:

The Insights We share

and the community we build.

The Think Tank is a coaching experience crafted to inspire basketball coaches to dive deeper into learning and sharing insights, reignite their passion for the game, and develop a community of coaches.

What keeps coaches returning year after year to our Think Tanks isn’t just the insights gained—it’s the extraordinary network of like-minded coaches they connect with.

Why Attend the Think Tank?

In a world full of online clinics, courses, and content drops, it's never been easier to consume information. But consumption isn’t the same as transformation. Watching film clips on Twitter, skimming a playbook PDF, or half-listening to a Zoom clinic while doing laundry—it’s surface-level. And surface-level won’t move your program forward.

The Think Tank is different. It's a space for coaches who want to go deeper—who want to wrestle with ideas, challenge assumptions, and collaborate with other sharp, committed minds in the room. This isn’t just about taking notes; it’s about asking better questions, building better frameworks, and refining what you believe about coaching.

There’s still nothing like being in the room—feeling the energy, engaging in real-time conversation, stepping away from distractions, and getting to work side by side with people who care as much as you do. If we all thought learning online was enough, we’d all be homeschool teachers by now.


This is where coaches get better. Together.
