About
I am a committed basketball coach with a proven track record of mentoring and developing athletes.
Through fostering strong relationships and teamwork, and nurturing drive, passion, and self-awareness,
I’ve guided multiple teams to successful seasons. My career aspiration is to continue imparting life skills to
athletes through the platform of basketball.
In June 2023, I was honored with a promotion to the position of Associate Head Coach of the Dallas College
Eastfield men’s basketball team. During the 2022 season, I served as an Assistant Coach for Eastfield, and
we achieved an impressive overall record of 21-8 and a conference record of 6-4 in the Dallas Athletic
Conference (“DAC”). The 2022 season culminated in our advancement to the National Junior College
Athletic Association South Central District Semifinals. In my inaugural season coaching in the NJCAA, our
team finished third in the DAC. As the result of my individualized attention to their training, skill work, and
player development, Dwayne Reliford was named the DAC Freshman of the Year and received First Team
All-DAC honors and was named a NJCAA All-American; Taylan Harris received Second Team All-DAC honors.
Before joining Eastfield, I served as the Assistant Coach at Premier Academy in Houston from 2021-2022,
specializing in the preparatory school division. During my tenure, our team engaged in competitions against
esteemed programs nationwide, including Sunrise Christian, Donda Academy, IMG Academy, AZ Compass,
and Lalumier.
Prior to coaching at Premier Academy, I served as the head coach at Carnahan High School of the Future.
Prior to Carnahan, I served as the junior varsity head coach and varsity assistant coach at Montgomery
County High School in Missouri during the 2020-2021 season. During my tenure, Montgomery County High
School achieved a commendable 20-7 overall record and went undefeated in conference play, securing a
district championship.
My coaching journey began with the AAU Missouri Elite Under-17 team before establishing my own club,
Zoski Elite, in 2020. I helped four of my Zoski Elite players secure NCAA Division 1 college playing positions,
and many others secure NCAA Division 2 and NAIA scholarships. This speaks to my long-time involvement
and deep connections in the basketball world and my ability to both place and recruit top-quality athletes.
In addition to my coaching expertise, I bring a wealth of experience as a former professional basketball
player with a decade-long career overseas, including playing in Germany, Italy, Hong Kong, China,
Dominican Republic, Columbia, and Malaysia. Hailing from East St. Louis, Illinois, I earned three-time First
Team All-State Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference honors at Greenville University achieving
recognition as the third all-time leading scorer. Furthermore, I received All- American honors from the
National Christian College Athletic Association, as well as the SLIAC ALL-Decade Team for 2000-2010
