basketballpaisley are delighted to announce that we are flying over an American basketball coach with 50 years of coaching experience to lead the 3-day October holiday camp alongside our club performance coaches. Elite Skills Camp will run on Monday 16th Oct, Friday 20st Oct and Monday 23th October at the Lagoon, Paisley from 9.30-3pm each day and is available to any player within a National League Team. Coach Dan Hoff was born in Detroit, Michigan in the United States and grew up in the Detroit suburb of Royal Oak. He graduated from The University of Detroit High School where he was a “Class A” All-State basketball player and an All-Catholic baseball player during his senior year. He was awarded a full basketball scholarship to Eastern Michigan University. He competed in baseball at EMU for two years and in basketball for The Hurons for all four years; he was recognized as a Mid-American Conference All-Academic basketball player during both his junior and senior year, as well as an Honorable Mention All-Conference basketball player during his junior year. He captained the team as a senior. Following his senior season, he was also awarded an NCAA Post-Graduate Scholar scholarship (one of fifteen in the nation) and was recognized as a Second-Team NCAA Division I Academic All-American. After his playing career at EMU, Hoff entered the coaching ranks as a graduate assistant at Eastern for one year. Following a two-year head coaching stint at his high school alma mater, U of D High, as well as one year as an assistant at Henry Ford Community College, Hoff ventured to Australia where he competed in basketball as a player-coach in Mackay, Queensland for four years. Upon returning to the US, Hoff resumed his high school coaching career, first for one year at Ogemaw Heights High School, followed by twenty-seven years as head coach at Mattawan High School. There, Hoff’s teams won seven district crowns and numerous conference championships. As well, many Mattawan players went on to compete at the collegiate level during his time there. At Mattawan, Hoff was selected as the Regional Coach of the Year as well as the “Class B” state Coach of the Year. In 2013, Hoff joined the basketball staff at Western Michigan University as the Director of Basketball Operations. The Broncos won the Mid-American Conference during Hoff’s first year, advancing to the NCAA Tournament. Hoff retired from the Broncos after the 2017-2018 season. Currently, Hoff is the head boys’ basketball coach at Watervliet High School, a secondary school in Southwest Michigan.
