“tough to find a coach out there who can mirror Derek’s basketball mind”
“I had the pleasure of coaching Derek as a player for 4 years at UMass. He was also one of my assistant coaches at Memphis for 8 years.
It is tough to find a coach out there who can mirror Derek’s basketball mind, and the way he can teach the game to players/coaches at every level.”
John Calipari

“Derek is an absolute inspiration. I have never seen someone work so hard to obtain the level of success he has achieved.
What amazes me is that he always finds time to teach his basketball drills to anyone who needs help because his true passion
is focusing on the betterment of the game on a global level.”
