Steele led XU to a 19-13 record in the 2019-20 season, which was cut short prior to postseason play by the COVID-19 pandemic. Steele was a finalist for the Joe B. Hall National Coach of the Year Award, which is given annually to the nation\u2019s top first-year head coach in Division I. Steele, who finished 19-16 in his first season as the Xavier head coach, led XU to eight wins in its last 11 games. All of the opponents for those 11 games were in either the NCAA Tournament or NIT fields, including seven road and neutral site games.\n\n\u00a0\n\nPrior to being named head coach Steele spent the previous 10 seasons at Xavier, including nine on the staff of his predecessor, Chris Mack. Steele has been a part of nine NCAA Tournament teams at Xavier, including five teams that reached at least the Sweet 16. The 2017-18 team won Xavier\u2019s first Big East Regular Season Championship, a school-record final AP ranking of No. 3 and the first NCAA Tournament No. 1 seed in school history.\n\n\u00a0\n\nFormer Xavier head coach Sean Miller hired Steele prior to the 2008-09 season as Xavier\u2019s Director of Basketball Operations. Mack promoted Steele to assistant coach after he took over the program prior to the 2009-10 season. Steele was promoted to Associate Head Coach following the 2015-16 season.\n\n\u00a0\n\nPrior to Xavier, Steele worked on the staff at Indiana. He joined the Hoosiers in August of 2006, taking on the duties of the video coordinator. After serving as the video coordinator for a season and a half while at IU, he was promoted to the position of assistant coach in February of 2008.\n\n\u00a0\n\nPrior to his time with the Hoosiers, Steele served as an assistant men\u2019s basketball coach at Wabash Valley College (2005-06) and spent a year with the Ohio State basketball program as a graduate manager (2004-05) under former XU head coach Thad Matta.\n\n\u00a0\n\nBreakdown\n\n1:00 - Reactions After The Win\n\n6:00 - Playing Off Two Feet\u00a0\n\n7:30 - Identifying Plays\n\n9:00 - Referencing and Scouting\n\n12:00 - Nutrition and Fitness\n\n16:00 - Not Competing Day\n\n20:00 - Analytical Leaderboard\n\n21:30 - Skill Work\n\n25:00 - Hard work as Positive/Negative\n\n28:00 - Travelling\n\n31:00 - Focusing Their Stuff\n\n33:00 - Moments of Struggle\n\n36:30 - Player's Academics\n\n41:00 - Getting Response to his Players\n\n43:00 - Personal Preparation\n\n47:00 - Players Routine\n\n48:00 - Conclusion\n\n\u00a0\n\nTravis Steele\u2019s Bio:\n\nBio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travis_Steele\n\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/coachsteelexu\n\n\u00a0\n\nBasketball Immersion\n\nWebsite: http://basketballimmersion.com/\n\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/bballimmersion?lang=en\n\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/basketballimmersion\n\nFacebook: https://facebook.com/basketballimmersion\n\n\n\n\nImmersion Videos:\n\nCheck out all our all-access practice and specialty clinics: https://www.immersionvideos.com/\n\nSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/7a706c37-6b70-4b9b-98bf-29f56a555020/135e2835370674a32c6c6235a6a3e54f4f6110ae3868283f018ade21bc307ab.jpeg"}
