Get to know Richie

I am a successful former college coach that can help anyone improve their game!

There are a ton of training options out there... but my experience and knowledge with all ages and skill levels sets me apart. I have been a college coach with men's and women's programs, a high school coach, and run AAU and youth programs and camps. I have helped young players who just want to learn the basics, all the way through college players who have signed pro contracts. I was also a successful 4-year college player, giving me insight into what coaches want and look for in the recruiting process. Whether you are looking to make the local school team, or you have goals like securing a scholarship, I have the knowledge to help you achieve those goals. My workouts are challenging but fun, and I am a supportive motivator who will invest in your development and success. I look forward to working with you to help you improve your game!

Career & accomplishments

I am an experienced basketball coach who has worked with all levels of experience from elementary school students to collegiate athletes. My most recent coaching job was at Lees-McRae College (NCAA D2) in North Carolina. Prior to LMC, I was the Head Women's Basketball Coach at Caldwell Community College (NJCAA D1) for 2 years, leading the team to back to back Region 10 Championship appearances, and sending numerous players to the 4-year level. Prior to my time as Head Coach for the women's program, I served as an Assistant Basketball Coach on the men's team at Caldwell (NJCAA D1). I also have coached at the high school level, and was instrumental in leading Watauga High School Boy's Basketball to the 2025 NCHSAA Elite 8 and helping multiple athletes obtain roster spots at the collegiate level. I was also the Head Boy's Basketball Coach for the Peak Basketball 17U and 16U boys teams out of Boone, NC for 3 years. In addition to coaching teams, I have extensive experience working with athletes in a one-on-one setting, focusing on skill development and conditioning.

I was a collegiate scholarship player for 4 years, including 2 years at Texas A&M-Commerce (now East Texas A&M), and 2 years at Mars Hill University in North Carolina (both NCAA D2 programs). During my time at Mars Hill, I was team captain, earning Second Team All-South Atlantic Conference Honors as one of the most versatile players in the conference (top 10 in rebounding, scoring, and blocked shots) while playing both perimeter and post positions. In high school, I played for perennial Texas powerhouse North Crowley HS under legendary coach Tom Brakel. I was a two-time All District Selection in one of the top HS basketball regions in the country, and was team captain during my senior season for the #1 ranked 4A team in the state that featured 3 future professionals and 10 future collegiate players. I received numerous scholarship offers at the collegiate level prior to and during my senior season in HS.

I was fortunate to have played for 3 incredible coaches in HS and college, but my HS Coach, Tom Brakel, at North Crowley HS in Fort Worth, Texas is one of the best prep coaches in the country, having coached numerous pro and college players while winning nearly 1000 games (and counting) along with 2 state titles.

I am a motivator who loves teaching the game of basketball. I am an experienced, knowledgeable, and successful former college coach and player who has worked with basketball players at all levels of the game, helping them to reach their goals through skill development and consistent application of proven drills and techniques. My workouts are challenging and fun for players who love the game or are just getting started! I am fortunate to have played for, and worked with, great coaches, and I look forward to passing that knowledge on to the future and current generation of players!

Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.

Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.

Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!

We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.

Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.

Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.

  • Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.

  • Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.

  • Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.

  • Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process + background check, so you can trust you're training with the best.
