Michael
Hake
Assistant Coach & Basketball Operations
Since joining us in 2022, Coach Michael has developed a deep love for basketball, growing more passionate about the game with every season. Fascinated by the complex aspects of the sport, he embraces opportunities to learn and improve, whether it’s breaking down film, scouting opponents, or analyzing team statistics.
His “basketball geek” side shines through in the details, always looking for an edge that will help players and the program succeed.
As both an assistant coach and the team’s Basketball Operations Manager, Coach Michael is a tireless supporter of the program and Coach Cass right hand man when it comes to all things strategy, organization, scheduling, and player support on all areas.
He is constantly finding new ways to help the team grow—on the court, in preparation, and in the overall experience for players and families. Off the court in thinking of ways to support families and players succeed. Dedicated, organized, and passionate, Coach Michael is an essential part of what makes the program thrive.
