Casey Stanley, Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Westminster University in Utah, joins Matt Rogers for Episode 199 of the Significant Coaching Podcast.
Westminster competes at the NCAA Division II level in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC), and Stanley arrives there after a fascinating journey through nearly two decades of college and prep basketball.
After 15 years at the Division I level—including stops at Louisville and Iona working for Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitino and back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances at UNC Wilmington—Casey took a very different path: national prep basketball.
In Part 1, Casey talks about what it’s really like working for Rick Pitino, the prep school basketball world, and what running the national prep program at Layton Christian Academy taught him about recruiting from the other side.
It’s a unique look at the experiences that prepared Casey to finally lead a college program of his own.
