Q&A with coach Andrew Jordan
PHD: Can you tell me a little about your coaching/basketball background?
“I have coached for over 26 years. I have been a high school head coach for both boys and girls, spent 2 years as assistant women’s coach at Bismarck State College. I’ve been involved with AAU for the last 5 years.“
PHD: Why are you excited to coach this group?
“This group has great chemistry off and on the court. They get along well and are extremely unselfish on the floor. They are off to a great start and will only continue to get better as the season goes along.“
PHD: What will be the strengths of your team?
“We have a lot of great shooters on this team. Teams have to guard us on the perimeter. We also have a strong presence in the paint. Our ability to work the ball inside and out makes us tough to guard. The team works extremely hard and work really well together.”
PHD: What style of basketball will you play?
“We will play 90 feet. We will get in people’s faces full court and push the ball up the floor on offense. We like to get out and run and when we need to work our offense in the half court set, we can.“
PHD: What will your team “hang your hat on”?
“We will focus on the things that we can control……effort and attitude. We are great offensively, but will pride ourselves on our defense.”
PHD: Who do you predict will be your top defender?
“ Aiden Schmidt Aiden Schmidt 5'9" | CG Bismarck Legacy | 2027 State ND is quick and can move laterally quickly. He is great at putting pressure on the ball.“
PHD: What event/tournament are you looking forward to the most?
“I look forward to every weekend this teams gets to play basketball.“
PHD: Do you see your team play man, zone, or a mix of both?
“We will play 90 feet of man to man defense.“
PHD: Will your team get together and practice?
“We have a few players that are spread out. We have a stretch in June where I hope we can get a few practices in.“
PHD: What are your goals for this AAU/grassroots season?
“For these young men to come out better than when we started the season. My goal is to help them understand that they have to focus on the things they can control and that comes down to effort and attitude.”
PHD: Who are some of the top shooter?
“ Jackson Jordan Jackson Jordan 5'7" | CG Bismarck Legacy | 2027 State ND is a great shooter with a very quick release. He shoots the ball at a high percentage. Wyatt Weekly and Rowan Wiseman are also great shooters who have the ability to light teams up.”
BEST OF LUCK TO ECI!
