Rising Coaches Elite held its first three conferences in the summers of 2010, 2011, and 2012 in Las Vegas, NV.
Many respected college basketball coaches have spoken at our conferences. These speakers include head coaches such as Larry Brown, Dave Rice, Steve Lavin, Josh Pastner, and Buzz Williams.
Our conferences have been covered by the media, including Fox Sports’ Jeff Goodman and Gary Parrish from CBS Sports.
Our fourth annual Coaches Conference will be held on July 23-25, 2013 in Las Vegas, NV, and the inaugural Rising Athletic Directors Conference will also take place there at the same time.
The goals of the Rising Coaches Conference are as follows:
- To connect coaches with other coaches so that we can make new friends and help one another succeed.
- To share ideas and suggestions with one another so that we can be a part of each other’s growth and development.
- To create a greater sense of community and kinship among college basketball coaches.
