It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
Holiday season is here! No, not THAT holiday season — the OTHER holiday season! You know, the one that begins in March … and causes all sorts of hoops hysteria throughout the every corner of the United States. (One might even say it even causes a certain level of madness to creep into our collective basketball brains.)
All of us at Championship Productions could not be more excited by the return of the amazing commencement of the best week of the year – that delivers everything you want in a cluster of sporting events – joy, frustration, strategy, drama, school pride, upsets, memories, ‘One Shining Moment’ and so much more.
While many places of business surround the water cooler with talk of brackets that have been busting, inside the walls of the Championship Productions headquarters, our staff is bursting with pride over the collective presence of all the terrific basketball authors that can be seen up and down the tournament brackets.
In what has become an annual tradition, we’re thrilled to shine the spotlight on all of the basketball coaches who have authored instructional videos with Championship Productions as we head into the mens’ and womens’ collegiate hoops tournaments over the coming days and weeks ahead — and we cannot wait to share our connections to this year’s roster – listed below, region by region;
