Defense, development, and players who graduate

+1 317 555 0412
linkedin.com/in/marcus-hutchins-coach

High-school basketball coach with eleven years building programs that win on the court and develop players off it. Took a struggling varsity program to three straight conference titles and a state semi-final, with a defense-first identity and a heavy emphasis on player development. Has placed 14 players into college rosters, several on athletic scholarships, by coaching the recruiting process as deliberately as the game. Runs practices on a clear teaching progression, films and breaks down every game, and holds players to academic standards as firmly as athletic ones. Known for getting more out of average rosters than the talent alone would predict. Looking for a head-coaching role with a program that wants to build something lasting.

Education

Indiana State University

BSc in Kinesiology (September 2006 to June 2010)

Sport-science degree covering exercise physiology, biomechanics and motor learning, played four years of college basketball alongside it. Served as a team captain and student assistant coach in the senior year. Moved straight into high-school coaching after graduating.

USA Basketball

USA Basketball Gold License Coaching Certification (June 2013 to August 2013)

Advanced national coaching certification covering practice planning, player development, safety and game strategy. Sharpened the structured teaching progressions now used in every practice. Maintained through ongoing coaching-education clinics.
Beyond the Court

Academics first

Ran mandatory study tables and kept the team's GPA above the athletic-eligibility minimum every season. Several players became the first in their families to attend college, supported through the recruiting and application process.

Three straight conference titles

Turned a sub-.500 program into a three-time conference champion with a run to the state semi-final. The turnaround came from a defense-first identity and a disciplined year-round development plan rather than a sudden influx of talent.

14 players placed in college

Coached 14 players onto college rosters over eight seasons, several on athletic scholarships. Treated recruiting as a coachable process — film, exposure camps and contact — not something left to chance.
Certifications

USA Basketball Gold License
