HEAD coach of NCAA’s Florida Tech Basketball team, Billy Mims, will travel to Ireland for the next two weeks.
Mims will host three coaching clinics in Ulster University, Oatlands College Dublin and the University of Limerick.
On top of hosting the coaching clinics, the Florida Tech man will also help out with the Irish U15 and U17 academies as well as working with the players at the Basketball Ireland 3x3 camp in Limerick.
Billy Mims is the all-time most successful coach in Florida Tech's 60+ year history, with almost 700 career wins, and has acknowledged his deep connections to Irish Basketball.
Coach Mims also has a successful history coaching in Ireland and the UK. He coached three different clubs and led them all to National Championship success. In his one season in Ireland, he led Neptune Basketball Club Cork to both the National League and National Top 4 Championships.
In England, he was named the British Basketball League “Coach of the Year” twice and National “Coach of the Month” five times.
Mims said “I loved my time coaching and living in Ireland and still have so many fond memories of my time there and I’m very excited to make the trip across the pond to try and help grow the game on the Emerald Isle.”
The Limerick coaching clinic takes place on Monday, 26 in UL from 8pm-9.30pm.
