COACH TY MCHONE
B.A. & M.Ed.
WHO AM I?
I pride myself on my level of commitment, loyalty, and the amount of time I put into my work. I own a Bachelor's Degree in Communication Studies along with a Master's Degree in Education. Currently I'm an available skill development coach. My last stint was with Men’s Basketball for the University of Arkansas focusing heavily on Player Development - aiding Elite Eight & Sweet Sixteen appearances. I've also had the pleasure of working alongside the NBA Edit Team for NBA All-Star Weekend. Aside from basketball I'm a big lover of all things in the arts and representative of freedom of expression: music, fashion, artwork, crafts.
