Nick Graham is regarded as one of the top player development specialists in the country. Basketball teaching is in Nick’s DNA and he grew up as a member of a basketball family. Nick played college basketball at Washington State for his father Paul and Brittany, Nick’s sister played at Georgia State. Nick grew up around college basketball and credits his dad’s tenure as an assistant coach at Oklahoma State for developing him as a basketball teacher. During that time Nick’s dad Paul along with his co-workers, Tim Jamkovich, Bill Self and Sean Sutton along with head coach Eddie Sutton groomed Nick to develop players on and off the court.
