At Split Second Basketball, 2014 was a really exciting year of change. Although our regular coaching staff, mostly comprised of former professional, university players plus current UBC Thunderbirds stayed pretty much the same, we did have one big game-changing addition.
After a career that spanned:
- 2 CIS national championships
- 10 years and 2 World Championships with the Canadian National Team
- 19 seasons playing professionally in Europe (with too many league championships and MVP awards for me to list)
Joey Vickery finally retired this year and joined us to coach in Vancouver.
Joey really is BEST PERSON in the world I can imagine to teach young players. Not only is he one of the best shooting guards to ever represent our country (at only 5'9" tall), he also is fantastic with kids. He's got an infectious enthusiasm that the kids pick up on. He lives and breathes basketball and gives all of himself to help kids really improve. We are grateful to have him join us in Vancouver.
With Joey's arrival, we added new programs to our schedule.
