Hi Guys, I'm Coach Russ. Basketball Coach Trainer, Historian. I've Coached the Game of Bball for over 20 years on the Middle School, Highschool and College Levels. Basketball has been a way of life for myself. Born into Basketball Royalty, My Dad Frank Russell played NBA Ball for the Chicago Bulls, Uncle Campy Russell played NBA Ball for Cleveland Cavaliers and New York Knicks, Uncle Walker D Russell Played NBA for Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers. Cousin Walker D Jr. Also Played with Detroit Pistons. So the Game of Bball is second Nature to me. I myself All State player at Pontiac Central High , Played College Bball at North Iowa and Omaha College, some Semi Pro as well! I teach the Fundamentals, Discipline and Mental Importance of the game in itself. I'm a ol school coach with new school energy. Let's get to work!! 💪🏿🏀
