Description

In this episode of House of Hammers, hosts Aaron Babicz ’93 and Chris Okoye ’14 sit down with Head Basketball Coach Tory Jackson to talk about leadership, culture, and building young men the right way.

Coach Jackson shares his story and philosophy on faith, accountability, and discipline — and how those values shape his approach to coaching both on and off the court. From developing team chemistry to preparing players for life beyond basketball, he explains why relationships, trust, and consistency are at the foundation of a successful program.

This conversation goes beyond wins and losses, focusing on the daily work of forming character, instilling confidence, and challenging players to become the best versions of themselves. It’s a powerful reminder that great coaches don’t just teach the game — they build people. 🛠️
