Jeff Culver is entering his 13th Season as the Head Men's Basketball Coach at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS). He led the UCCS to its first RMAC Championship in program history. He's coached the only NBA Draft Pick and the only All-Americans in program history. Culver was the only four-year head coach to offer Derrick White (NBA Champion, Olympic Gold Medalist) a scholarship out of high school, and Derrick would become a two-time All-American and the 29th pick by the San Antonio Spurs in the 2017 NBA Draft.
Before UCCS, Culver spent 7 years at Johnson & Wales, where he worked concurrently as the Director of Athletics and Head Men's Basketball Coach. He led the Wildcasts to three A.I.I. Championships and three appearances in the NAIA Division II National Tournament while earning A.I.I. Coach of the Year three times.
We had a great conversation about the state of the game, the impact of the portal, and the best path for young athletes to continue playing at the college level. Enjoy!
