I cant help but to think what I could have been if I would have taken the Coaching Basketball class more seriously, like he did Seriously, JK was INTENSE in that class...makes sense why now...

Congrats!

Keys Completes 2011-12 Stetson Women's Hoops Staff

Release: 09/07/2011


DeLand, Fla. - Head Coach Lynn Bria's 2011-12 Stetson women's basketball coaching staff has been finalized as former College of Charleston assistant Josh Keys has joined the defending Atlantic Sun Conference champions. Keys, who will serve as Stetson's recruiting coordinator in addition to other duties, joins Herman Burge and Nicole Woods as Coach Bria's lieutenants.

A 2007 graduate of Liberty University with a degree in Sport Management and double minors in Psychology and Coaching, Keys obtained his MBA from Liberty as well in 2010. While obtaining his undergraduate degree, he served in several basketball roles off campus, including coaching the Trinity High School sixth/seventh/eighth grade travel team in his hometown of Morgantown, W. Va., serving as head basketball camp instructor at YMCA Camp Tockwogh (Worton, Md.) and being head girls basketball coach for two seasons at the New Covenant School in Lynchburg, Va.

Since graduating Liberty, Keys spent the past four seasons at the College of Charleston, helping lead the Cougars to a pair of 20-win seasons and the 2010 Women's Basketball Invitational (WBI) semifinals. The latter accomplishment doubled as the first postseason appearance in program history. His skill development, particularly with post players, led to four Cougars achieving All-Southern Conference and All-SoCon Freshman Team honors, including 2009-10 Southern Conference Defensive Player of the Year Tonia Gerty.

The Hatters open defense of their A-Sun title November 11 at the Edmunds Center against Palm Beach Atlantic, itself coached by former Stetson assistant Clarisse Garcia. Stetson returns three starters, including A-Sun Tournament MVP/Second Team All-Atlantic Sun junior guard Victoria McGowan (Inkster, Mich.) and A-Sun All-Freshman Team/All-Tournament Team sophomore forward Sasha Sims (Fayetteville, Ga.).

He's gonna get a head job at the college level one of these days...take that to the bank.

Sure, Keys did well in his coaching classes at LU, which is to be expected, but he even held his own in a certain English class taught by a cider-sipping, WVU-hating professor. Congratulations!

Coaching Basketball was no joke. I did the whole "un-athetlic white boy who tries way too hard" act against Rell Porter and within the flip of a switch he was dunking on me.

Congrats Josh.

We should have a basketball referee class.


Oh, & congrats. Did they give you your own bottle of Stetson?

That explains all of the cryptic tweets about moving recently. Congratulations!

blwall1416 - Actually I believe they probably hand out hats, pardner. [Shoutout to Rooster]

Stetson was a chic Manet fragrance back in the days. A close second was Chaps!

Stetson was good but a little rich for my blood...top shelf at CVS can get pricey. Musk was the Bomans of fragrances
