I am Coach Kevin Howard, a passionate basketball coach dedicated to helping athletes unlock their full potential. My love for the game began early, growing up in a family where athletics were part of our everyday life — from uncles who competed at Ivy League schools, to cousins who played at Michigan, to a grandfather who won an NFL Super Bowl. That foundation instilled in me the dedication and discipline I bring to coaching today. After playing at the collegiate level, where I earned All-Conference and All-Region honors my senior year while shooting 54% from the field and 35% from three-point range, I then spent over 20 years in the trading industry, developing strategic thinking, leadership, and resilience. Yet, my love for basketball never faded, and after two decades, I returned to the court, this time as a coach committed to helping the next generation of athletes thrive.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of coaching at both the high school and college levels, and working with athletes who went on to succeed on and off the court. Some of my coaching experience includes:

• Princeton High School- Head Varsity Coach

• Foreman High School- Assistant Varsity Coach

• Concordia College- Assistant Coach

  • Contributed to the 2021-2022 conference championship, the program’s first title since 1993

• York High School- Assistant Varsity Coach

  • Played a key role in helping lead the team to two regional championships, a conference championship, a sectional championship, and a 4th place finish at IHSA State Tournament.

In addition to team coaching, I’ve enjoyed running summer camps and providing one-on-one skill development sessions. Whether working with young athletes or advanced players, my focus is always the same: build fundaments, elevate confidence, and develop habits that translate far beyond the court.

As a coach, my goal is not just to develop better basketball players, but better teammates and more resilient young people. I focus on teaching strong fundamentals, building confidence, and character. The lessons we build together on the court are meant to carry into every part of life — helping each athlete grow not only in their game, but in who they are becoming.
