This episode is a conversation with Frank Allocco, Sr. I found this to be a conversation filled with wisdom. Coach Allocco highlights that self-knowledge often allows us to cultivate larger purpose in work and life, that helps move towards greater definitions of success and service to others. He also explores cultivating a shared vision, and the power of elevating and valuing others as a reflection of their inherent importance.
Frank Allocco Sr. is the Executive Senior Athletic Director for External Relations at the University of San Francisco. Coach Allocco is perhaps more well-known for his high school basketball coaching career as the Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Northgate High School and De La Salle High School in Northern California. Coach Allocco is second all-time in state history in winning percentage, and his teams won 20 games a season for 24 consecutive seasons. Additionally, Coach Allocco is also the only coach in California state history to win a state championship at two different schools. Beyond his success on the court, Coach Allocco also leaves behind a legacy of thousands of lives positively impacted as the founder and Camp Director of the Excel in Basketball summer camps. Since 1981, Excel in Basketball has served as a teaching camp for basketball skills and so much more for thousands of youngsters in California and in New Jersey.

Coach Hartman highlights the power of acknowledging mistakes, slowing down and developing patience, and pursuing relationship in an enduring way, by taking a genuine interest in others through their stages of life.
Carlin Hartman is an Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach at the University of Oklahoma.

This has been a heartbreaking couple of weeks in the basketball world, with the deaths John Chaney, Hall of Fame Coach from Temple University, Lew Hill, Head Men’s Basketball Coach at UT-Rio Grande Valley, and Tom Konchalski, legendary high school basketball scout. These were people who leave behind a legacy of service to others, with countless lives positively impacted through care, kindness, humility, and love. The light of our world is a bit dimmer without these men.
Coach Lew Hill’s family and UTRGV Athletics have established a scholarship fund under his name so his legacy may live on. You can donate to the Coach Lew Hill Memorial Fund here: https://give.utrgv.edu/coachlewhill
