Who is Coach Lane

Allow me to introduce myself: I am Coach Jon Lane. I have been coaching the beautiful game of basketball for over 16 years. I started my career coaching youth in Bozeman, Montana. I continued my career as a teacher and  JV head coach in El Paso, TX. Doing that for a few years gave me the opportunity to be a teacher and varsity head coach in South Dakota. During my time as a head coach in South Dakota, I was able to accomplish tasks with the program that had not been done for over 7 years. While in South Dakota I was also a volunteer assistant at Black Hills State University (division 2 college in Spearfish, SD). Getting the bug to coach at a bigger school, I got the opportunity to at a 4A school in Washington State. During my time there I was able to take the program to new heights and completely change the culture on how basketball was viewed within the community. I was fortunate enough to accomplish items in the program that were never done for over 15 years (that’s how long the school had been open). With countless of sleepless nights, self-education, seeking out mentorship and just being a basketball junkie- I was asked to be the lead assistant  and the head strength coach for the men’s program at the University of Puget Sound.
