Basketball Manitoba is very excited to announce that Rick Torbett has been confirmed to headline at this fall's Super Coaches Clinic scheduled for October 19-20 at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Rick is best known for his very popular 'Better Basketball' instructional basketball videos and will join NBA strength and conditioning specialist Allan Stein this fall. The Atlanta, Georgia native is often regarded as among the best teachers of basketball in the world today. His lead role in the Better Basketball videos is one of the reasons they've achieved such a high level of value to coaches everywhere. Coach Torbett strives to make even the most advanced techniques so easy to understand that even very young players grasp them quickly and apply those systems to their own game. Coach Torbett’s techniques have been proven to surpass those of coaches whose teams are in the NBA. For example, in the last six seasons only two NBA teams averaged over 40% from the 3-point line. Coach Torbett managed to coach entire teams to shoot over 40% for three consecutive seasons – a stunning achievement in or out of pro ball. Coach Torbett spent 24 years as a high school coach with an overall winning percentage of 70% at four different schools, helping players earn scholarships to premier collegiate programs. He’s since devoted himself to traveling the world to study more sophisticated coaching techniques and to garner even more knowledge about how to better play the game of basketball. More information on Rick and his products can be found at www.betterbasketball.com. More details on the Super Coaches Clinic will be announced later this summer!

In just a few short weeks on the job, Bobcats women’s basketball coach Novell Thomas has been busy on the recruiting trail. Thomas is pleased to announce the commitment of his third recruit of the year in Winnipeg product Carrera Lamoureux. Lamoureux is transferring to Brandon University from Canadian Mennonite University where she played with the Blazers for the past two seasons. “Carrera was a surprise because she showed up at our ID camp and instantly demonstrated the level of skill of an everyday CIS player,” says Thomas. “While participating in drills she made some good decisions and was always looking to push the ball up court.”
