        Not sure about selling inside info, but at Valpo Luke Gore was pretty open to going on podcasts and other media to discuss aspects of his job. Gave a lot of good insight into non-con scheduling (one of the roles he handled as associate HC) and the factors that go into finding opponents and matching dates

          • Go Shockers - Mills to Host Youth Skills Camp, June 12-15

            Registration is underway for the first-ever Paul Mills Shocker Basketball Camp at paulmillscamps.com.

            The camp – scheduled for Monday through Thursday, June 12-15, 2023 at Wichita State's Charles Koch Arena -- offers boys and girls of all ability levels an opportunity to sharpen their skills with expert instruction provided by Shocker players and coaches.

            This year's camp is divided into age groups with the morning session (8:30 a.m. to Noon) devoted to campers entering grades 1-5 and an afternoon session (1:30-5 p.m.) for incoming 6-12th graders. Tuition is $190-per-camper and includes an official camp t-shirt and basketball.

            "I'm excited for this opportunity to engage our youngest fans and help grow the game of basketball in our community," Mills said. "Our goal is to provide a fun and challenging environment where campers can improve their basketball skills and have a great time doing it."

            Spaces for the 2023 Paul Mills Shocker Basketball Camps are limited, so interested participants are encouraged to sign-up early to secure their spot. For more information or to register, visit coachpaulmillscamps.com.

                    Wichita State men's basketball associate head coach Kenton Paulino discusses his relationship with coach Paul Mills, his experience with Shocker fans while coaching at Tulsa and what it means to be an "All-Glue" kind of basketball player.

                    We talk about coaching unselfishness, P.J. Tucker as a teammate and Tennessee's Rick Barnes as a mentor.

                    • I like the focus on player spacing (and re-spacing).

                      I also liked what he said about what "pouring yourself into your players" means. He said HCPM often says your job is not to fill up others cups, your job is to empty your cup.

                        I like that.

                              • AOL - How a year away from coaching prepared Chris Hollender for Wichita State basketball job

                                But that time away from coaching proved invaluable, as he worked from Kansas City for Just Play Solutions, a company developing interactive teaching solutions for coaches in various sports. He spent the year traveling across the country, attending practices, observing coaches and picking their brains.

                                “For 20 years, my job was to concentrate on the team that I was helping coach,” Hollender said. “To have the ability to travel to different places and see different people, different philosophies, it was absolutely beneficial. What I realized is that there are a lot of really smart coaches out there. Going to their practices and watching them coach, watching them teach, watching them move amongst their team and how their staff operated was really good.”

                                Hollender is the most veteran member on Mills’ first staff in Wichita, but also the only one that the head coach has no direct prior experience with. That’s a testament to the character of Hollender, who came highly recommended from Mills’ coaching friend Cuonzo Martin, the head coach at Missouri when Hollender was an assistant there from 2017-22.

                                In finalizing his staff, Mills said he was looking to complete his assistant coach trio with someone who had strong recruiting ties in the Midwest. Hollender, a Mattoon, Ill. native and former Evansville standout player, fit the bill.

                                “There were so many different coaches I spoke with in the Midwest,” Mills said. “I was trying to find somebody who could say something negative about him. I probably made a dozen calls to AAU coaches, high school coaches and I struck out on everybody.”
