When I think of someone who has the ability to teach the game of basketball to our young and even experience players that will allow them to be successful at any level, I think of Mike Lee. Mike Lee is committed to developing the player to become the best possible player they can be and at the same time not lose sight of what level they might be able to achieve. All levels of basketball development could use more Mike Lees, which would make all coaches’ jobs easier.”
