Positive. Demanding. Honest.
Our coaches push players hard because they believe in them. They give honest feedback because they care. They coach the game and the person — and they leave players better than they found them.
Held to a Higher Standard
Every Magic coach goes through multiple evaluation steps before being hired. Coaches are selected against Michigan Magic's standards — character, communication, basketball knowledge, reliability, and a real commitment to player development.
