Basketball Budgeting, Scheduling, and Bridging the Gap Between HS and AAU with Tony Irons – Vashon HS (MO)

September 29, 2021 • By Men's Basketball Coaches Insider

In this interview, we sat down with Tony Irons, Head Basketball Coach, Administrator, and PE Teacher at Vashon High School (MO). Tony has helped the Vashon basketball program win 5 of the last 9 State Championships and become a Nike Elite Program. He shares his unique perspective on how Athletic Directors can work with their Basketball Coaches to build people, programs, AND performance without falling into the distractions of:

  • Name, Image, and Likeness
  • Resource and Budgeting Complaints
  • The Shiny New Things
  • Confrontational AAU Relationships

The Key Topics Covered in this Interview Include: 

  • Budget Priorities of Elite Basketball Programs
  • Scheduling Philosophy That Builds Teams
  • Making Fundraising a Culture Builder for the Entire Athletic Department
  • Tackling the Monumental Task of Renovating a Gym
  • Facilitating the Conversation with Local AAU Programs
  • Shifting the Game From Business Back to Basketball
