The feedback has been terrific from the coaches in attendance and we as a staff benefited greatly as well from what you shared with us.
Anthony Grant

You were fantastic at the BCAT clinic. Thank you for your time and for sharing some of your wisdom with us. What a treat to hear you speak!
Rhonda Blades Brown
Brentwood Academy (TN)
To say that I enjoyed listening to you speak would be an understatement…you have sparked a new energy within me not necessarily for basketball (I have that) but for other areas in my life…the passion that you exhibited was nothing that I have ever seen at a clinic…Thanks for your willingness to share.
John Good
Science Hill High School (TN)
You are truly one of the great teachers of the game and I couldn’t tell you how many coaches have told me today alone how much you blew them away with your nuggets.

o much great information and so many great new ideas, I couldn’t right fast enough! Don’t worry about not giving enough information, I wrote down 22 pages of notes that I started to organize last night.
Paul Sather
Head Coach, Northern State University
I appreciate your personal time investment to last night’s dinner event. I received many unsolicited comments recognizing the value, messaging and stories, and positive takeaways from your talk.
Mike Jones
Core Consulting, Richmond, VA
You are definitely leaving your legacy by affecting all that you come into contact with and I wanted to take a moment to thank you and praise you for everything that you do. You are much more than a coach… you are a leader, role model, and mentor to many people.
Ryan Rapolti, MBA
Voxbeam
Wanted you to know the sustainability of your messaging from the beginning of our fiscal year. We’ve adopted “100% In” as our official Area mantra, and it headlines quarterly Area messaging.
Just reviewed the Celtics Laws a couple weeks ago. Really great year and your messaging has truly helped us pull it together.

Thank you so much for another amazing experience at Coaching U LIVE! I learned a ton from the clinic….
Matt Grahn
University of Dallas
As always, the speakers were outstanding and educational. It’s truly one of the highlights of my year. Thanks for enhancing our game through this professional development opportunity.
Curt Kassab (3-time CU LIVE attendee)
Deep Run HS (Glen Allen, VA)
Kevin, I want to thank you so much for an absolutely fantastic presentation. I think in the six years we have done this I have never come out at the end of the alloted time and had the speaker continue. Your presentation was exactly what we were looking for.
Danny McLaughlin
St. Benedicts (Newark, NJ) clinic
I wanted to thank you for giving me the opportunity to attend the Coaching U experience you and Coach Suhr had the past 2 days. I was so pumped up when I left today. I called my son who plays at FDU the first chance I got and shared some of the 25 pages of notes I took.
Coach, you are a great inspiration to me and I want to thank you for all you do for the game. You are truly one of my heroes and one of the greatest teachers of the game in America. These past 2 days were something I will never forget as I travel around the country trying to give back to this great game of hoops!

Kevin, you always do an incredible job because you are so open, honest and so willing to share. Thought your message was extremely powerful and I learned so much. Some great things to share with our team.
Billy Donovan, Head Coach, University of Florida
Kevin Eastman is one of the top five coaching talents to come into the NBA in my 25+ years in the League
Brendan Suhr, Former Assistant to Chuck Daly, Back-to-back NBA World Champion Detroit Pistons
He’s perfected the individual workout, and I think he could be a great help to our young players. Brendan Suhr had mentioned him to me, and then he was brought in to work with a team my son is on. I was watching him and I thought, “Damn, this guy is good. He should be working for the Celtics…”
Doc Rivers
Head Coach
Boston Celtics
In my 30 years of experience in the basketball coaching world, in U.S. and abroad, Kevin Eastman is one of the best player development coaches and teachers of fundamentals I have ever met.
Giorgio Gandolfi
Editor-in-Chief, FIBA Assist and author of “NBA Coaches Playbook”
You were GREAT. Your passion and knowledge of the game is off the charts. I challenged my staff to get in better shape as we need to make sure our energy level is like yours when practice starts. You gave us plenty to “chew on” as our workouts start.
Matt Doherty
Head Men’s Basketball Coach
SMU
Kevin is one of the best at working with players to improve their skills – he can teach and motivate, while providing some of the very best instruction you’ll find anywhere. The basketball and life lessons you will learn at his camp will be a great first step toward becoming the player you want to be!
Tubby Smith
Head Coach
U. of Minnesota
He has a tremendous grasp of X’s and O’s and loves sharing his knowledge with others. He has a passion for skill development. If you have the chance, I highly recommend you attend one of his camps or clinics!
John Kuester
Head Coach, Detroit Pistons
I thought the content was excellent. I am actually using your 10 ingredients to winning a championship in my preseason defensive lecture to the team…you connect very well with your audience because people like real life success stories…I love to watch and listen to people with passion and great work ethic. It is not an accident you ended up where you are in life. Sharing your journey and passion is awesome…
Curt Kassab
The topics you spoke about had me zoned in the entire time…it was very educational and could definitely help us in all of our futures….I completed three full pages of notes and was ready to write more if time would have allowed you to go on…your speech definitely hit home with me.
Patrick Demers, graduate student, VCU SportsCenter
Hands down it was one of the best speeches I have heard. I took pages of notes….I feel that your speech sent a message to people of all professions…
Dustin du Bois, graduate student, VCU SportsCenter
The feedback from all [about your presentation] has been so positive, and I’ve heard from most that were in the room. There has been so much talk about your content that we are going to spend a great deal of time next week discussing the things you had to say — but I know I will not be able to pull it off at the same level as you. Honestly, that was as good as I’ve ever heard.
Mike Ellis, VCU SportsCenter
WOW, first off let me tell you how much i enjoyed your session at the NIKE Chicago clinic this weekend. I couldn’t write fast enough. As a former player turned coach I know HOW to do it, but i want to be able to TEACH it just as well. …… You gave me that much needed jolt of passion for our upcoming season!!!
Kelly Komara
Assistant Women’s Basketball Coach
Northwestern University
I just wanted to tell that your lecture Saturday morning at the Chicago NBA Clinic was outstanding! I am a solid believer in individual training.
Phil Cassis,
Manatee High SchoolBradenton, FL
After attending the recent Nike clinic in CT, I was reminded that you were the best content speaker I had seen there….great drills & passion for the game. I saw you the year before at Mohegan Sun and took volumes of notes which I have applied to my training program.
Terry Teachout
I recently bought your newest video and loved it. I am coaching high school basketball right now. I love your enthusiasm, attention to detail, and your bulleting point system of personal training. I am also ordering your other 2 chair series videos, and hope to learn form those.
Phil Beckner
I attended the Nike Basketball Clinic last Saturday when you presented. I have to say you were one of the best speakers I have ever heard at a clinic. I am really excited to try some of the drills you presented with my team.
Mike English
I really enjoyed on how you brought your NBA experience and incorporated that into the drills. I really enjoy listening to coaches who talk about their war stories, because it puts everything into perspective.
Matt Schonhoff
Head Boys Varsity
East Prairie High School
Your camps have taught me more drills and showed me exactly what I need to do than any other camp I’ve been to — and I’ve been to a lot!
