What families say

“In my years in the NBA, I have seen many very good coaches work with players. I have never seen anyone as good as Jason Otter. He is the total package – great passion and intensity, an effective motivator, a master teacher and an attention to detail that separates him from other coaches” — Stan Van Gundy, Former NBA Head Coach

“OtterBasketball literally changed the trajectory of my own career. I stand at 5’10” and was able to play at some of the highest levels of college basketball, thanks to everything Jason taught me.” — Jordan McCabe Former Division 1 player (WVU, UNLV), current Assistant Coach at WVU

“I sought out Jason from Australia to train my boys when they were young. What developed from that was my son’s earning Division I full scholarships and both playing professionally in Australia. Jason’s training is just different. His program will give average players the opportunity to play at a high level. He demands precision and accuracy, which gets results on the court.” — Matt Nunn Head Coach – Knox Raiders (NBL1 National Champions)
