OKLAHOMA CITY — Mid-America Christian University men's basketball coach Josh Gamblin has been selected to speak at the Nike Championship Basketball Clinic held Sept. 30-Oct. 2 on the Oral Roberts University Campus.
At 10:45 a.m. Oct. 1, Gamblin will present the topic "Covering the Pick and Roll" to attendees.
He will be joined by other premier coaches and players from around the U.S., including coaches Lon Kruger and Sherri Coale from the University of Oklahoma and retired NBA center Swen Nater.
During the 2015-2016 season, Gamblin coached the Evangels to a 28-9 record and MACU's first ever national championship over the top-ranked Georgetown (Ky.) Tigers.
Gamblin, the youngest coach to ever win a collegiate men's basketball championship on the national scale, was named the 2015-16 Rawlings-NAIA Division I Men's Basketball Coach of the Year. His character influence was also felt throughout the year, culminating with the MACU team receiving the Dr. James Naismith-Emil S. Liston Sportsmanship award at the conclusion of the NAIA National Tournament.
Off the court, Gamblin has served as Clippers' All-Star Forward and University of Oklahoma standout Blake Griffin's Summer Basketball Trainer for the past several seasons. Gamblin spent this summer with Griffin co-hosting his Amateur Athletics Union basketball camp for young boys.
