I’D LIKE TO THANK RILEY GRANDINETTI WHO IS THE HEAD COACH FOR THE SOUTHWEST OREGON COMMUNITY COLLEGE LAKERSI N COOS BAY, OREGON IN THE NWAC IN JUCO BASKETBALL FOR SHARING ADVICE FOR YOUNG COACHES AND HIS THOUGHTS ON THE 2021-22 CAMPAIGN WITH THE CANNON NETWORK. HE SHARED, “ADVICE FOR YOUNG COACHES: CONTACT WITH AS MANY OTHER COACHES AS POSSIBLE AND PICK EACH OTHER’S BRAIN ABOUT CONCEPTS. AS A YOUNG HEAD COACH, MYSELF I CONTINUE TO STRIVE TO LEARN FROM OTHERS. UPCOMING SEASON: SWOCC HAS RETURNED 5 KEY PLAYERS FROM LAST YEAR’S COVID SEASON THAT HAVE MADE HUGE IMPACTS. 6’5 KAREEM ROWE AND 6’6 KASE PETERSON ARE EXPECTED TO BE HUGE VOLUME SCORERS THIS YEAR IN THE NWACS. WITH THE AMOUNT OF OUTSIDE SHOOTING THREATS, WE HAVE THIS YEAR WE ARE EXCITED TO GET BACK TO OUR FUN FAST BREAK STYLE OF PLAY THAT SWOCC HAS DONE FOR SO MANY YEARS. “
