Walk-on Basketball Program
Basketball players interested in trying out for a walk-on position on the Leopards basketball team should enroll in Coach Kirby Johnson's basketball PE class (PHED 1115) for the fall semester. This class provides an opportunity for players to work on drills and set up situations and allows Coach Johnson to evaluate potential players for the men's basketball team.
For the first month, the class works on offensive and defensive drills, one on one, two on two and three on three situations, shooting, and free throw drills. After a month or so of drills and half-court evaluations, the class is divided into teams for a 20-game schedule. There are officials for the games and each game plays to a certain score and fouled players shoot free throws. Through these games, Coach Johnson can evaluate what a player can do in multiple situations and scenarios.
Players can be moved from the class over to the men's basketball at any time at the coach's discretion. Team vacancies sometimes occur because of injury, discipline problem or for academic reasons. The class also provides an opportunity for the coach to evaluate players for scholarship and/or a roster spot on the team for subsequent seasons. In the last 8 years, 21 players on the team roster have come from the basketball class. Several of those players have won awards include Most Valuable Player, All-Conference, honorable mention All-American, and scholarships to four-year schools. Players who don't make the team at the end of the semester still come out with a PE credit and better basketball skills.
