MORE PRAISE FOR COACH MOREHOUSE
​
"After working with Coach Morehouse, I have grown to know what my strengths and weaknesses are. I have better knowledge as to what things I need to work on and things that make my game who I am. My intelligence of what I can and should be doing as a basketball player has grown immensely. Coach Morehouse has given me lots of confidence as well to try new things and trust who I am as a player."

“During my coaching career, I have learned that what eventually separates two players of equal athletic ability comes down to which player has a stronger foundation of fundamental basketball skills AND a greater understanding of the overall game.”
— Coach Brett Morehouse
BRETT'S PHILOSOPHY OF COACHING
I am a TEACHER who is passionate about coaching the game of basketball. ​My priorities lie in building relationships with players, parents, and colleagues. Without these relationships, real and honest communication cannot occur. When I was taking education classes in college, I remember being told that "students don't care what you know until they know that you care". In my years of coaching and teaching, I have found that statement to be absolutely true, and therefore, until you have built a foundation of trust and open communication, you will never really be able to teach and coach to the level that will bring out the true potential of your players.
​
If you stress the importance of mastery of the fundamentals and treat your players as students of the game, you increase the chances that they will be able to maximize their natural talents while participating in game situations. If you want your players to know what to do and how to react in late-game, high-pressure scenarios, you have to mentally prepare them for those situations and teach them strategies to use in order to achieve successful results. In my twelve years of coaching at the collegiate level, I have found that mental and emotional development is more important than physical development alone. A mentor once told me: "I will TEACH my players how to play basketball, not just how to execute drills."
