We were proud to host several presentations from our valued sponsors, including Coaches vs. Cancer, AI, Spalding, Point Guard College, Grip Spritz, LUCEO, and others whose continued support helps fuel our shared mission.

**Most importantly, we continued to do what we came to do: "Grow the Game."**A thank you goes out to Allen Whitehart and the Georgia Basketball Coaches Association for their hospitality and leadership throughout the event.

The 2024 National High School Basketball Coaches Association Summer Congress met in Nashville, Tennessee July 9th- 11th. 30 State Basketball Coaches Associations were represented with 65 total attendees (both attendance records). Many things were discussed, including the state-run June Scholastic Events sponsored by the NHSBCA, Educate to Navigate Initiative, 28.5 Women’s Basketball Initiative, We’ve Got Next Coaches Mentoring Initiative, and numerous other topics that impact high school basketball on and off the court. We took a field trip to the Country Music Hall of Fame and enjoyed the sights and sounds of the country music scene of Nashville. We had numerous presentations from our sponsors (Coaches vs Cancer, Ballogy, LUCEO, and many others).

Overall, we accomplished what we set out to do… continue to “Grow the Game”. A special thanks goes out to Bruce Slatten and the BCAT for their hospitality and leadership. Currently we are in the planning stages for next year's Conference in July in Savannah, Georgia. We look forward to showing everyone some southern hospitality and culture.
