Patrick Nee Seward County CC Saints Open Post Motion Offense

Written by Coach Peterman

I have coached at the NCAA Division 2 (Southwestern Oklahoma State University), NAIA (USAO), and JUCO Levels (Blinn College and Carl Albert State College) as well as high school. I just felt that fellow coaches especially young coaches need to constantly work on their “game”. Just like the basketball players that we coach. We as coaches need to improve ourselves. That is my story and why I do this blog.

Nee assisted Head Coach Bryan Zollinger to lead the Saints to a 23-10 overall record (11-3 in conference play). The Saints boasted a 14-2 record at home for the season and scored over 80 points per game.

Out of those seven years, the Saints have won five Jayhawk West Conference titles.
