My teams at University of Victoria played against Joey Vickery when he competed for Brandon University, and I had the great pleasure of coaching him when he played for Canada’s National Team. Joey was a great competitor, a great teammate and highly skilled. He also had a great understanding of the game.

His teammates loved to play with him. He was and is a man of high character, and was always a team leader.

Joey has now turned his attention to teaching others how to play the game of basketball. He understands the laws of learning and imparts his knowledge and expertise to young athletes who benefit greatly from their experiences with him. They will have fun and will grow as players, and as people, under the leadership of Joey and Split Second Basketball.

I have known Eric for the better part of 2 decades.  Eric, always a serious student of the game, has become one of the best coaches of technical skills in our region.

He has developed a unique program that is unlike anything else available in BC for youth basketball training. Because of his strong connections in the basketball community, Eric has always had first rate coaches in his program. With the addition of Joey Vickery, a legend in Canadian basketball, this program is a tremendous opportunity for local youth to learn to play the game the right way.

As a player Kevin (Pribilsky) was a very driven player. He competed at a very high level and was never outworked by anyone. His understanding of the game as a player allowed him to overcome any physical challenges he faced (being 6’0).  In my twenty plus years as a CIS head coach, Kevin Pribilsky was one of the  most dedicated players to improving his abilities which resulted in him becoming one of the best university level players in BC.  Now, as a coach, he is bringing that same dedication and drive to helping young players in his area reach their potential and beyond.  He is an excellent teacher of the game and has firsthand experience in how to best maximize one’s abilities on the basketball court.”

“Kevin used a strong work ethic while at Simon Fraser and Thompson Rivers University to develop himself into an Canada West starter and star.  I enjoyed having Kevin on my bench as an assistant coach and benefited from his insights during games and practices. Kids are lucky to have a coach with the level of passion Kevin has for the game. Kevin Pribilsky is a basketball guy, a guy that loves the game, He has the ability to teach skills and tactics but also observe and correct.  I encourage anyone looking to improve their skills to take advantage of this great program.
