Inaugural Clinic 5 Pitt Head Coach Kevin Stallings Head Basketball Coach Kevin Stallings signed on as host of the inaugural Pennsylvania Basketball Coaches Association Clinic coming this September.

When approached by the PABCA, Coach Stallings stepped in and hit the ground running to get the event locked into the Petersen Events Center on Pitt s Oakland Campus. This clinic is a great opportunity to introduce our Pitt staff to the regions coaches. Building a successful program starts with building successful relationships that help us identify and bring the best players to Pitt. Stallings said when talking about why he chooses the PABCA Clinic as his first partnership project with the Pennsylvania Basketball Community.
