Testimonials
Ron Weeks, Parent of AAU Player
Coach Scott is unlike any coach my daughter has ever had! He gets the most out of his players, always pushing them to get better, while simultaneously positively reinforcing them and building their confidence. He is great about pulling players aside and getting their full and undivided attention and calmly explaining not only WHAT he wants from them, but also WHY he wants it that way. My daughter improved her skill set, but more importantly to me, she improved her knowledge of the game. She is a more confident player after only 3 months playing under Coach Scott. I highly recommend Coach Scott and his B Scott Basketball Academy!!! Thanks for a great season, Coach!
Ann Myers, Parent of Camper
My son has attended several of Coach Scotts clinics and all I can say is my son is excited for the next set that coach will have. Not only have we noticed but his friends parents have noticed an increase in our sons skills and Coach really takes the time to teach and motivate the kids to learn the game correctly. We are very grateful that Coach Scott has been a positive role model as a coach and man in our sons development.
Dave Prologo, Parent of Student
We engaged Bernard when our son was 10 years old. He transformed his game and brought him to the next level. From that point on, he was able to make competitive travel teams - which further elevated his game and separated him from other players. We have stayed in touch over the years, always fine tuning his game - and this month he will begin his third year as a varsity player at a very competitive high school here in Atlanta. We are forever grateful for Coach Bernard's depth of knowledge and guidance.
Patty Racco, Parent of Campers
For the past three years my daughters (ages 9-13) attended summer basketball camp with Coach Scott. He blended a commitment to developing sound fundamentals with game scenario play. The girls were able to play with peers that gave them the opportunity to develop their own game while learning from and building up others. I was always so impressed with Coach Scott’s ability to speak to beginning players and challenge more advanced players - all while creating a fun and safe place for the girls to play.

Coach Scott wants to push you both mentally & physically. His ability to help work on your individual craft with fundamental drills, will help you better yourself. From perfecting your shooting form, coming off a pick, or creating a move to blow by your defender, he will help a player do it all. He can also breakdown the game to allow you to develop your decision-making skills.
His enthusiasm for basketball and wanting his players to be better creates an energy that rubs off on you & gives you a sense of confidence to believe in yourself - no matter the circumstance. He’s a great coach at challenging you, yet, he provides the necessary constructive criticism & encouragement a player needs to expand their game.
Coach Scott is a great coach & mentor with all the necessary experience and knowledge to help you step your game up to get to the next level.
Imani Gordon former Cleveland State University HL All-Conference Forward
Coming into college as a freshman, transitioning is one of the hardest things to deal with. I wasn't happy where I was as far as my game. One day I went into Coach Scott's office and told him I needed to get better. From that day on, Coach Scott dedicated his extra time to help me develop into an All-Conference player. Without his guidance I wouldn't have been the successful player I turned out to be. I left Cleveland State University one of the top players in program history. Thank you Coach Scott!
Kayla Decriscio former University of Detroit Mercy Assistant Coach
Coach Scott creates a fun and energetic environment at his camps! Parents, campers, workers and anyone involved will without a doubt say it is a positive learning experience. Campers will value and appreciate how he challenges them while also improving their game. Players will truly enjoy the atmosphere that Coach Scott creates at his camps and learning something that will help them make themselves better.
Haley Schmitt former Cleveland State University forward
Coach Scott was an awesome coach. He has a way of making someone believe in themselves even while giving constructive criticism. He’s fun and caring and he brings that every day to the gym!
