About:
Who is Coach Matt Dennis?
Helping basketball coaches build great programs—that’s my mission.
With nearly 20 years of coaching experience at both the high school and college levels, I’ve won 9 conference titles, multiple Coach of the Year awards, and helped players reach the next level. Coaching college basketball was great, but my family is my top priority—that’s why I chose to lead a varsity program.
Beyond the court, I’m passionate about helping varsity coaches build programs that last. Since 2018, I’ve been sharing my expertise in leadership, player development, and strategy through courses and workshops — and I’m just getting started.
Let’s build something special together. Have questions or want to connect? Email me at matt @ coachmattdennis.com.
