We sat down with Head Women's Basketball Coach and South Regional Coach of the Year,
Alberto Jemperrie
1. What is your coaching philosophy?
I believe in position less basketball, giving players the freedom to maximize their abilities in a variety of situations and game scenarios. I want every player to be versatile, make smart decisions, and contribute in multiple ways on both ends of the floor.
2. Who are some of your coaching role models?
- John Thompson
- Pat Summitt
- Geno Auriemma
Each has demonstrated excellence in leadership, player development, and building championship cultures while making a lasting impact on the game.
3. If you were building a team from scratch, would you rather have a point guard, a dominant center, or a player who can play multiple positions?
A player who can play multiple positions. Versatility creates match up advantages, provides lineup flexibility, and allows a team to adapt to any style of play.
4. What's your favorite comfort food after a big win?
- Coconut Curry Red Snapper
- Red Beans & Coconut Rice
- Caribbean Mixed Vegetables
5. Who are three of your favorite musical artists?
