Inaugural Clinic
5
Pitt Head Coach Kevin Stallings
Head Basketball Coach Kevin Stallings signed on as host of the inaugural Pennsylvania Basketball
Coaches Association Clinic coming this September.
Stallings arrived at Pitt in April, beginning his outreach to regional coaches. When approached
by the PABCA, Coach Stallings stepped in and hit the ground running to get the
event locked into the Petersen Events Center on Pitt’s Oakland Campus.
“This clinic is a great opportunity to introduce our
Pitt staff to the regions’ coaches.
Building a successful program starts with building
successful relationships that help us identify
and bring the best players to Pitt.” Stallings said
when talking about why he chooses the PABCA
Clinic as his first partnership project with the
Pennsylvania Basketball Community.
The clinic provides attendees with opportunities
to learn from Stallings, his staff and guest clinicians
from other programs throughout the country.
