You can see how much Coach Lamont cares about the kids.
Coach Lamont has been great with my son and with our whole group of boys. He coaches every single one of them, no matter their initial skill level, with full effort, and you can see how much he cares about them as basketball players and as kids. He demands their attention and effort, but he does so in a way that they buy into the work needed to improve their skills and become better teammates.

The coaching here is good, really good.
The coaching here is good, really good. It’s incredible. And that’s something that I’ll never have to worry about with Coach Lamont. The level of respect I have for his program locally might be as high as I’ve ever witnessed for my 12 year old son. The success that Lamont has produced in a very short time has the teams consistently winning, competing, battling and working hard with core fundamentals and teamwork. Lamont’s coaching professionalism, philosophy and skill gets the best out of of the players and he has built a mutually trust that gets results. The players even approve.
I am looking forward to the future with LSBA and the high quality basketball yet to come which is the direct result of high quality coaching. Coach Lamont won’t throw any sideline tantrums or get many technicals and you’ll never hear him take credit for a win, but often taking blame for a loss.
A good coach not only understands basketball, but knows and understands respect. Lamont has a way of getting his players to trust their decisions and his instruction. That kind of humble attitude is not coincidental and is contagious to all.

The level of commitment he has towards the kids is undeniable.
My son has been training with Coach Smith for 7 months now and I can honestly say he is one of the best coaches around. The level of commitment he has towards the kids is undeniable. His knowledge of the game is extensive, and I constantly see him teaching the kids new techniques. If you have a child who is interested in basketball, you are someone who already plays the game, or you are trying to get ready for college or pro level, I highly recommend training with Coach Smith. My son walks away happy after each session with him and will talk about all the new techniques he learns. We are lucky to have him as a coach!

Lamont just takes it to a higher level.
All the coaches my boys have worked with the last few years have been excellent. Lamont just takes it to a higher level. His attention to detail on building skills is tremendous and he relays the right amount of encouragement with firmness. The boys respond to him and it is fun, as a parent, to see them improve under his guidance. It’s as if my 11 and 12-year-olds are getting high-level college coaching every session with Lamont! I encourage anyone who wants to learn how to properly play basketball to seek his instruction.
