'If you're just a curious parent who wants to learn about basketball, I'm sure you're welcomed to sign up as well.' Guest coaches and speakers will discuss a variety of basketball-related topics during their assigned periods. Izzo's session Friday will cover defensive drills. Holtmann follows the next day with offensive strategies and how to implement them. Altman, who served as an assistant at Columbia before joining the Cavs, is scheduled to discuss scouting and evaluation of players. Five NCAA Division I men's basketball coaches are slated to speak. Baldwin Wallace women's coach Cheri Harrer and Saint Joseph Academy girls coach Maggie Ferrando also will conduct sessions.

Kellogg, who starred at St. Joseph High School (now Villa Angela-St. Joseph) and Ohio State, will speak on player and coach relationships. Flannery has been involved with USA Basketball's developmental squads for 17 years.

He has coached teams for international competition and is currently a youth committee development member, which entails evaluating potential players and coaches. When USA Basketball approved bringing a clinic to Cleveland, Flannery said he contacted former University of Akron coach Keith Dambrot, who is now at Duquesne. Dambrot agreed to come.

'It's not common, but it's becoming more and more common,' he said, 'Specifically on the AAU circuit, they're requiring coaches to be certified for specific tournaments.'
