Testimonials -
Tiny Cains
I was
impressed by his level of detail and knowledge - but should not have been
surprised. Tiny had been performing scouting duties for the Puerto Rico Men's
National Team for years. My business partner at the time and I decided to hire
him as a basketball analyst for St. John's basketball and for the New York
Knicks Spanish language broadcasts. Additionally, I recommended Tiny to ESPN
management and, to their credit, they hired him to analyze NBA, WNBA and NCAA
basketball games. Tiny sets high standards for himself and is fastidious about
preparation. He is the consummate professional, always on time always prepared
to do his job. Other than his wife and family, basketball is his passion. His
knowledge of the game is surpassed by his ability to communicate effectively.
From teaching physical education at a high school level to coaching professional
players, Tiny gets through to his charges. He has significantly improved the
lives of hundreds of people.” Alvaro Martin, ESPN Deportes

Mr. Cains
has always impressed me as an extremely fine basketball coach, very dedicated,
dependable and responsible. He knows his subject matter and is a competent
teacher. He is also been interested in learning more about his field and he is
innovative and inquiring. I would be honored to have him coach anyone in my
family.”

My daughter,
Alyssa, wanted to improve her game and needed to work on some basics to be a
solid player. She met Tiny through her AAU teammate, and he told her he could
see raw skill in her that needed development. He told us about his clinic, and
invited Alyssa to give it a try. She did, and now she is hooked! Her
abilities, and her confidence level, have improved greatly! Tiny's focus on the
basics, his positive reinforcement techniques, and his insistence on a positive
attitude from his students is the reason for his players' successes. Tiny's
knowledge of the game, and his ability to present his knowledge clearly to his
students, is the key to his success. I am a former middle school head
basketball coach, and I wish I had known Tiny then to bring his ideas and
methods to my practices!” Deb Lanier, Parent
