Coach K
Bill McClintock played for Pete Newell, one of the greatest teachers of any sport. His emphasis on footwork and fundamentals for all players (especially the Bigs) was really cutting edge. As a result of his leadership big guys developed into outstanding players. His teachings are ageless and anyone who adheres to them and practices them diligently will become better- it’s a sure thing.

I have worked Pete Newell’s camps since the late 1970’s. I have come to know Bill McClintock over the past 15 years as director of the Pete Newell Tall Women's Basketball Camps. He was very involved with the women and loved their passion and willingness to learn the post moves. I have worked many camps, but the emphasis on footwork is the best I have ever seen from Bill’s staff. I would recommend Bill McClintock’s Frontline Basketball Camps to every player that wants to improve their offensive game and understanding of the floor.
