5 Questions with Coach David Graham
1) Who is your coaching mentor?
I actually have two. Kevin Waters was my assistant coach when I played at Edward Waters. I have known him since I was 18 years old and still talk to him almost every day. The other is Anthony Anderson; the former UFTL Coach taught me so much about the business side of coaching college basketball.
2) What is your favorite movie all-time?
Hoop Dreams. I loved the storyline of two kids from the city pursuing their dreams of playing college basketball. It perfectly captures the struggles, the ups and downs of playing basketball, and trying to survive in the inner city.
3) Who is your favorite athlete?
LeBron James. There has never been an athlete to be at the top of his game for this long. He was called the "
Chosen One" out of high school, and four Finals MVP awards and four titles later, he has lived up to the hype. Plus, he has never been in trouble off the court and has raised great kids.
4) What is your best coaching moment?
Winning my first national championship in 2011 while coaching the Jacksonville Giants in the ABA.
5) What is your favorite comfort food?
A Whopper with cheese.
