Per GoBearcats
University of Cincinnati men’s basketball associate head coach Darren Savino has been invited to participate in the 2019 Collegiate Coaching Consortium taking place in conjunction with the 2019 NABC Convention and Final Four next month in Minneapolis.
The consortium is an invitation-only professional development event that brings together elite-level assistant coaches and aspiring Division I athletic directors to partake in a rigorous multi-day academy that teaches each how to identify, analyze and influence critical organizational processes as a means of building better teams and athletic programs. Each cohort – coaches and ADs – participates in individually-focused curriculum designed to sharpen the competencies and capabilities that are critical for ensuring success within their respective roles.
Savino, who was elevated to associate head coach in April 2018, has played a key role in helping guide the Bearcats to eight consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances since arriving in Cincinnati prior to the 2010-11 campaign.
The 2019 Consortium will be led by a diverse group of speakers and faculty, which includes leaders in collegiate athletics, professional sports, the business world and higher education. Among them are: university presidents Eric Kaler (Minnesota), Nayef Samhat (Wofford), and Ron Machtley (Bryant); head coaches John Calipari (Kentucky), Mike Brey (Notre Dame), and Andy Enfield (USC); athletic directors Bubba Cunningham (North Carolina), Jeremy Foley (Florida), and Ed McLaughlin (VCU); professional sports executives Lara Jurus (Minnesota Vikings) and Michael Lombardi (Cleveland Browns/New England Patriots); search firm executives Daniel Parker (Parker Executive), Glenn Sugyiama (DHR International), and Chad Chatlos (Venture Partners); and business leaders Jacqueline Williams-Roll (General Mills) and Mark French (The Players Tribune).
Seven of the coaches who participated in the inaugural Consortium in 2018 went on to become Division I head coaches last offseason, including Justin Hutson at Fresno State, Tavaras Hardy at Loyola Maryland and Mike Morrell at UNC Asheville. Hutson, Hardy and Morrell will return to the 2019 Consortium as faculty.
