Speaker 1 (00:06):
Hey, what a both man.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I'm Doug Gottlieb.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
This is all ball man.
Speaker 4 (00:10):
We had a special treat for you.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
As some of you know, I've become a lot more
engrossed in youth basketball. My dad was a longtime AU coach.
He had a basketball academy he was He used all
his connections in recruiting to help place kids forever and
then turn that into a business. And it's interesting because
(00:36):
with my own son, I've kind of reworked it and
I've coached really sixth, seventh and eighth grade basketball for
the last four years or so as our kids have
matriculated to high school. Now I have players that I've
coached that are sophomores in high school and the plan
is for this spring to get hardcore into high school
(00:57):
AAU basketball.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
My own sons in.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Eighth grade, so I've gotten a little bit of the landscape.
And last year I became kind of knowledge about about
T three TV. It's run by a guy named Terry Holt.
It's in just Mason, Ohio, and Terry's got an interesting backstory.
(01:18):
And when I tell you this is the hottest of
the hot camps, if you will, that's exactly what this
thing is next weekend, and that's the weekend of the
third through the fifth, the T three TV. This is
the fourth year I believe they've haven't. You can have
over six hundred kids, six hundred. Now it's not for everybody.
(01:40):
It's not, you know, the purest, the greatest of pure
basketball in terms of movement and player relocation. There's a
lot of stuff to it. And it's interesting because I've
gotten a chance to spend a lot of time around
a couple of college basketball programs, specifically this year in
Oklahoma State, and you know, the rewiring of players, even
(02:00):
really really talented young players to fit a college system
in a college style. And look Oklahoma State style for example,
everything they're running, for the most part in terms of
sets or mirror sets that you see run in FIBA
and run in the NBA. So when I say to
fit a college system, it sounds like you're trying to
do a square pay round hole. But the truth is
(02:21):
that's how they're going to play basketball the rest of
our lives. So you do have to kind of rewire
kids and help them understand that. You know, playing downhill
in high school and AAU and prep school ball that
may work, but now you get against like size, like
athletic kids, and some players aren't able to play downhill.
Matter of fact, when you watch the NBA as much
as Jason Tatum's in his bag, you know, you look
(02:43):
around the court and there's three or four other guys
that they don't dribble, or maybe rule of two, which
is you know you get two seconds too, dribbles always
play off two feet.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
It's a very kind of standard way of playing.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
You know, yes, you'll have one guy who gets a
chance to go one on one, but maybe one guy
on the roster or one guy on the floor at once.
And many of the players played in college aren't that
one guy, or at least not yet. But there is
something to the having camp where kids just try and
show themselves and have fun. You know, at the end
of the day, it is supposed to be about growing
your own kind of personal brand. Seeing all the rest
(03:18):
of the players around the country, seeing how they play,
what they're like, learning a little bit about them, and
watching them play, watching their movements, and you can it
doesn't it's not hard to figure out who the best
of the best are. It's not hard to figure out
who moves better and who's more athletic now once you
get to middle school, really six strade on, a lot
(03:39):
of it becomes about when you've hit puberty. If you've
hit puberty, early bloomers oftentimes reap the benefits more so
than late bloomers. But late bloomers, I mean, look at
the Golden State Warriors, right, I mean Steph Curry, late
bloom Clay Thompson late bloomer.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Andrew Wiggins is not a late bloomer.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
But I would say Raymond Green was heavy in college,
good player, but had to lose a bunch of weight.
But the point is, you go through the roster, you'll
find several late bloomers. Especially they're two superstars who have
ended up becoming virtual loxby Hall of Famers, and they
were not have they recruited. One reason was they were
late bloomers. Anyway, without further ado, I thought you'd enjoy this.
(04:21):
This is me Terry Holt catching up in regards to
his camp, which still has some open spots. So, Terry,
when people think of you and your family think of football,
I just do Thmas football.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
When did you first start hooping?
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Well, I first started hooping when I was about twelve
years old, you know when basically went in the alley,
taught myself, you know, begged my grandma to sign me
up for you know, the local team, and you know,
just went from there.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
What was it like when you who be like in
high school?
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Well, basically in high school, you know, I was kind
of like an average player, you know what I mean, Like,
you know, I was a good passer, good like basically
basically a solid.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Point guard, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
Like, you know, I was kind of like a nervous
player when when I was back in high school, you know,
And that's what kind of you know, that's why I
kind of like helping the kids now, like build their
confidence and stuff like that. Like when I'm at the camp,
you know, I kind of hype them up, you know,
help them get up on like the national rankings and
just anything to build the confidence man of a kid.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
It's interesting.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
It's interesting because I because the little I know you,
I would never think you'd lack confidence.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
What changed?
Speaker 3 (05:35):
What? What changing you personally that allowed you to build
you on some.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Well basically just you know kind of the stuff I
went through in my life, you know what I mean,
just basically you know, back when I was younger. You know,
like a lot of kids suffer from things that I
suffered from far as like peer pressure and just caring
about what other people think. And you know, so all
of that, you know my story, you know, all of
that kind to motivate me to you know, change it up.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
What was the toughest time you went through.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Well, the toughest time of my life. I went through
with well one of them. I got out a couple
of those. I'm gonna name one of them, you know
what I mean, far as pertaining to the business. One
of the toughest times is you know last year at
my camp, you know what I mean, it was probably
like let's say, uh, you know, a couple of days
before the camp, you know what I mean. Like, no,
(06:27):
it was about a week before the camp, you know,
not a couple of days like my shipment of jerseys
for the kids, you know what I mean. Somebody basically
you know, took them, you know what I mean. But
I still made it happen. It just was a tough time.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Did they take him out of your car or do
they take him ride?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Now?
Speaker 5 (06:45):
He basically he basically just kind of like you know
what they call it, finest me on the money, Like
I kind of sent you the money for the jerseys
and he never sent me you know what I needed
to get, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
But you know that was just one time, you know probably.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
So what so what was that like?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
So?
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
So for people who don't know T three TV? How
many kids did you have.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Lift ship oh Man, five hundred and forty kids?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
You got five hundred and forty kids. How many days
before camp did you realize you didn't have the jerseys?
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Well, it was probably I was reaching out to him
probably like fourteen days before the camp, just kind of like, hey,
when you're gonna send them, when you're gonna send them,
when you're gonna send them, And it was just.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
No response, you know.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
So I kind of like snapped into it probably like
set six seven days and I kind of had to
pay a lot more money to get the jerseys even
faster for the kids, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
How the camp comes to be? How did you come
up with the idea?
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Well, basically, I first my son, you know, I had
a kid, you know, like most dads, I liked the sports,
so you know, I basically going into local IMCA. So
I was recording videos on my phone, you know what
I mean, and uh, I just like start making videos
on him.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
He started. I kept training him. He basically went viral.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
I bought a camera, Like hold on, man, I kind
of you know, I kind of can do this. So
I started making videos on other kids, and then I
just like developed a passion for it. And then you know,
I kind of like start seeing so many kids. So
I developed like a ranking system for for the youth,
AAU basketball to help kids get exposure so they can
(08:29):
know who is who for right now, you know what
I mean. Like, you know, we all know rankings at
you know, pretty much sixth grade and under. It's like
it's gonna change, you know what I mean. But you know,
it's it's all fun for the kids, and uh that
kind I kind of developed a passion for, like, you know,
helping them.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Man, Like I just like to see.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
So how long how long ago was your first camp?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Four years ago?
Speaker 5 (08:55):
I'm the kids first camp, man, I blew him out
the water Man three hundred and I think thirty maybe
forty kids.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
When you when you start, when you start playing this
thing and you come up through the idea to put together.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
I made you really think you were going to do.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
I ain't gonna lie men. I thought I was gonna bust.
I thought I was gonna I thought I was gonna
get shit. I was scared. I thought I was gonna
get seventy kids. I thought it was over. And then
it was just like that, man, like they came. Like
you know, I always made looked out for the like
the really good kids. So I think that kind of
helped me in the long run, like far as me
(09:31):
seeing them at an event and I'll make a video
on them, and then I somehow, you know, let put
them on the rankings. And then it just developed in
the two where I start being kind and like a
little bit accurate, Like, you know, I got some real
kids that came through my camp, you know what I mean,
Like number one player AJ the BESTA. I'm probably saying
(09:52):
this name wrong. You know, that's a good friend of man.
He came through the camp. Uh, you know, I got
I got a lot of them, man like Jerry Eastern,
you know what I mean, Like, I got a lot
of kids that potential pros that's gone.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
I'm me talking a lot of trash in the Future Man.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Show show you end up having three hundred and thirty
kids or so the first one. Right, So what happens
when you have success in the basketball of any world
is now said, everybody wants to be your friend.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Everybody wants to speak right, Yeah, like just as.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Your thing you create, how have you been able to
kind of maintain your own brand and your own things
when everybody wants to piece.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
Well, you know, it's kind of it's it's it ain't easy.
I tell you that, you know what I'm saying, Like,
you know, it's basically I just take you know, I
just roll with the punches, man Like. I definitely made
mistakes like far as doing business with the wrong people
far as uh, you know, I just gotta like I've
just been living and learning, you know what I mean,
(10:54):
and just getting better every year, you know what I
mean to where I.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Locked it in solid.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
So if somebody is trying to get into the basketball
business and business business one of the things you're doing,
how would you invite.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Well, first of all, I would say, you definitely got
to get in with the kids, because they gotta want
to come and support your event before the parents even
think about bringing you get what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
And you know, another thing is, so.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
How do you do that? Okay, let's just start with
the kids. How did I did? Like, we're all adults,
we're all parents. How do you get into the kids
want to be your events?
Speaker 4 (11:31):
What? What's the secret?
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Well, the secret is, man, you got you gotta you
gotta kiss, you gotta you know, you gotta, you gotta,
you gotta go, you got kiss the man.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
You got.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Mixtapes.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
You can't go up to them charging them right off
the brick. You cannot do that, you know what I mean.
You gotta you gotta post them a lot.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
That still might not work, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
You gotta kind of and you gotta kind of represent
yourself to where people want to look up to you.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
You know what I mean. You gotta be like a
power role model.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
You can't just be someone that's just I mean, basically,
I'm not saying you can't be a regular person, but
you gotta have something special about you, man, Like it
could be you making mixtapes. You can have a talent
and making mixtapes. You can have charisma with the people,
you know what I mean. It's all types of things
(12:21):
you can do. But my advice to anyone is just
build your connections and the kids are included with the connections,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Okay, so you build your connections to every kids, then.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
What then you have to get a website, You have
to basically get a flyer. You have to do you know,
a lot of planning and how are you going to
run this camp? How are you gonna do Drills's it
gonna just be games? How many teams? How many kids
are you going to accept? Who's going to be in
charge of coaches? It's all type of planning you have
(12:54):
to do before you even thinking about because a lot
of these people just throw out a flyer and don't
even know what they're doing, and then when the camp come,
it just be some some crazy stuff that you wish
you never win, waste your money on, you know.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
What I mean? So you know, and I didn't. I didn't.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
I didn't been through that where I wasn't organized, uh
the way I could be.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
You get what I'm saying. And you know, my advice
to anyone man is.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Just you gotta you gotta get in with the people
like however you can.

years old, you know what I mean? And uh, he
definitely got a bright future man if genetics and and
(14:52):
and his heart taking there, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (14:54):
What what?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
So?
Speaker 4 (14:55):
What is his what's his routine?
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Like?
Speaker 4 (14:57):
What's his weekly schedule?
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Li?
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Well, basically, you know, first, you know, he get up
in the morning, get ready for school. You know, he
go to a private school, you know, pretty good school.
Then after school, he get out of school around three twenty.
You know, he reports to the gym at three forty.
So he practiced you know, Monday, Monday and Thursday. Monday,
(15:22):
Thursday he just practiced individually with me. So we got
Tuesday where he goes to a day where he go
with his school. He practiced with them. Then he has
to go down with the local team and practice with them.
Then we got Wednesday where we have to do the
same thing. And then we got individual practice Thursday after.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
The school process, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
And then we have a team practice Friday, and you
know it's basically the same thing. He goes to practice,
gets out, does his homework before or after, depending on
what time that we have practice, and then you know,
get in that shiring and hit the you know, hit
the hay.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Who's he look up the who's the guy?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
You know?
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Other than other than your boy? Other than your boy
right here you're looking at you know. He loved Lebron James,
like that's his boy man, other than some of them
rappers that I don't approve of, even though I like
their songs, you know what I mean. You know, he
liked a little dirt, of course, you know what I mean.
Uh yeah, a little dirt. He got the jukes right now,
(16:27):
you know what I mean? King Von he like, look,
he liked the King Vin, you know what I mean.
Uh But Lebron James is probably the one he really
look up to the most.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
What is basketball like?
Speaker 5 (16:40):
In the final I feel like it's it's good, but
you gotta it's spaced out. We got some good basketballs,
but it's like it's not like a bigger city to
where you can kind of stay local and play against
some good people like you got a kind of like
me being a day.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
But you got you got, you got thirteen Division in schools, right,
you got you got Cincinnati, got Dayton, We've got Columbus,
you got Cleveland.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
When you get to that level, it was wonderful, you know,
far as but far as the youth. I would you know,
I would like it if if if we could unite
a little bit more in here, because we got a
lot of ballers here.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Man.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
We have the same the same problem at a bigger
scale in la right where you're like there's so many
teams and so many dudes doing their own things. Like hey,
if we just had like one or two dreams ship,
we beat everybody, but they all kind of all break off.
And I know it's at that way in Ohio, even
smaller state right where everybody's kind of got their own thing,
and then you end up you play against each other
all the time. And if you just united and play together,
(17:39):
now you have a super team.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
We'll have a monster.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
We'll have a monster, like like every grade left talking
about from kindergarten to high school.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
You know what I'm saying, Like.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
We will be able to really make some noise if
we really just combined and and you know, but but
I know that's a little I know that would probably
you know that's that's that's slim.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I'm on happening.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
But I wish you could, man, you know what I'm saying,
because we got a lot of talent here that's spaced
out and I'm tired of traveling the place.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Some good competition, no question.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Okay, what about tilling your youngest son?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
I was he six years old?
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Six years old?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Baby man, My baby boy, My baby boy.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Man?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
He now start?
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Is he going to be the monster?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
He gonna be the monster?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Man.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
I really feel like he got the potential to be
rich off playing the game like like that.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
That guy.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Man, he has a personality. He will make you laugh.
He smile a lot, you know what I mean. He's
just a wonderful kid.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Man.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
He a hooper too. We just we just we're just
now starting with him though, so you know, we just
letting him do what he do.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Right now.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
How many so Harry's videos have going viral?
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Everybody in the circuit knows who is what's what's the
most downloaded videos?
Speaker 4 (18:57):
How many how many views? The most downloaded up?
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Man, he got a few of them that got a
million views. He got a couple on on YouTube by
Courtside Films. Over time, posting. He got a million views
over there for l A actually was the first video
that he actually went viral. It was a funny video
where he was he crossed probably about twelve kids and
made him fall and he just was you know, you
(19:22):
know how Fla is man. He'd be doing all type
of funny stuff and then he probably got about a
good he didn't been he'd have been featured on Sports Center. Uh,
Lebron James posted about him one time. It wasn't It
wasn't a I ain't gonna say it was a good post,
but Lebron James saying your name or I mean sharing
something with your picture on it, it's always good. It
(19:45):
don't matter what he's say.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
So what how are you kind of on him? Level headed?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Right?
Speaker 4 (19:51):
It's like he's a thing.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
He watched the gym and he's eleven years old and
everybody knows who he is.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
How do you keep paying kind of at the right level.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
We don't want to kill his confidence, right, but you
don't want to walk around with the big head and
be arrogant and be some of the people do on
the mind.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Yeah, I mean it's kind of that's kind of the
roughest part of with me and him is the balance
of being coached and day. You get what I'm saying,
Like sometimes he needs me to comfort him, and you know,
you know how dads are, man, We're pretty hard on
our kids sometimes, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
And it's definitely that's definitely a hard part to balance.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
But I kind of stay on him so he won't
because it's me and you both know how hard it
is to get to the league, you know what I mean.
So I kind of can't let him get big headed
right now because this is just like only we're not
even in the beginning yet, you know what I mean,
Until we touch the high school floor, you know what
I mean, Like then the process begins.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
So I just you know, you got to be humble, man.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
I'm definitely a believer of a higher power, you know
what I mean, And I just believe that humble man
always win, you know what I'm.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Saying, no question, no question. An umber yourself in order
to learn and be taught as well.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
For sure, if if somebody wants to let let's you
only have a handful of spots line. I bet that
at the time we're gonna put this out, there's still
some spots. How can somebody get their kid in the fen.

Speaker 5 (23:26):
He just be laughing at everybody when everybody try to
come at you with this and that, and then he
just swift, he flipped the switch on and then he
just Lebron does what he wants. Man Like, he's playing
with the league right now. He's not even playing serious.
That's what I just feel like. That's just me. I
don't feel like he's playing for real. I feel like
he's just we were chilling.
Speaker 1 (23:45):

Speaker 3 (23:46):
Anthony Davis had zero points in the second half, Like,

Speaker 6 (23:53):
Man?
Speaker 5 (23:53):
I ain't gonna really speak on eighty right now, but
I do believe in him, and I believe he gonna
turn it around.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
In Ohio, I mentioned Cleveland, Columbus, Uh, Cincinnati, Dayton.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
What's the best group city?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Dayton got some we got some pros. Man. I gotta
I gotta say Dayton on top.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
That Dayton's I'd say Dayton's underrated, right.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
That's why I mean, it's kind of it's small, but
I gotta say Dayton on top because of like we
saw were small, but we always seem to make some noise,
man Like, we always seem to climb out the dust
like the dirt.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
It just who's the who's the best player out of Dayton?
Speaker 4 (24:33):
Ever, who's the who's the who's the best player of.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
Day did were we talking on? Are we talking on
a profile or what I haven't seen? If we talking
on a profile or what I have seen?
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Probably on the profile because like, okay, so I grew
up in Orange County. Orange County is south of Watana,
and probably the best brow we have is play Thomson
plays the best.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
Amount of I would say from their profile, from winning
CHAMPI shifts and just being around you know, certain caliber players.
I would say Norris Cole. Then I would say, uh,
I gotta go with day Kwon Cook.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
I mean some we got.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
We got some people that didn't touch the floor, but
them two the actual like day Kwon Cook actually won
the three point contest. Norrise Cole actually won multiple multiple,
multiple NBA championships playing with d Wade and Lebron You
get what I'm saying. So from you, you being from Dayton,
you done made it to beat next to Dwayne Wade
and Lebron James. Man, like we got it. We gotta
(25:33):
tell our hell we got to take our hair off
to you.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Well, I can't wait to see in person This camp
is amazing. Everybody's talking about it. I mean, over six
hundred kids is ridiculous and uh, and we'll keep it
going and we'll look forward to seeing Terry the third place.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Thanks so much for joining it.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I appreciate you, man, and I see you real soon.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Min Thanks to Terry more so than anything.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
And he does it. Yes, does he make money doing
this camp? Right? You do the math?
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Find out how much cost six hundred kids. Not sure
how much the facility costs and the uniforms cost, but
there's definitely there's some overhead, but not a ton.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
He's going to make some money. But I can tell
you from having been a.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Parent at the camp and watching and understanding why it's
so successful, that it does, in fact celebrate the kids,
celebrate the players, and the kids like it. That's really
kind of what's about. It's kind of the well spring
for this type basketball in the Midwest. And we'll report
back on the stars of the future if you will.
I don't like the ratings either, Terry doesn't, but it
(26:35):
is kind of a necessary part of telling kids what
to shoot for and what to watch for. It's not
the finish line, but it is a good kind of
way of stacking kids at this point in their lives.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
My thanks Terry Hope for joining me. I'm Doug Gottlieb.
This is all ball
Speaker 6 (27:00):
Suppo
Hey, what a both man.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I'm Doug Gottlieb.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
This is all ball man.
Speaker 4 (00:10):
We had a special treat for you.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
As some of you know, I've become a lot more
engrossed in youth basketball. My dad was a longtime AU coach.
He had a basketball academy he was He used all
his connections in recruiting to help place kids forever and
then turn that into a business. And it's interesting because
(00:36):
with my own son, I've kind of reworked it and
I've coached really sixth, seventh and eighth grade basketball for
the last four years or so as our kids have
matriculated to high school. Now I have players that I've
coached that are sophomores in high school and the plan
is for this spring to get hardcore into high school
(00:57):
AAU basketball.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
My own sons in.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Eighth grade, so I've gotten a little bit of the landscape.
And last year I became kind of knowledge about about
T three TV. It's run by a guy named Terry Holt.
It's in just Mason, Ohio, and Terry's got an interesting backstory.
(01:18):
And when I tell you this is the hottest of
the hot camps, if you will, that's exactly what this
thing is next weekend, and that's the weekend of the
third through the fifth, the T three TV. This is
the fourth year I believe they've haven't. You can have
over six hundred kids, six hundred. Now it's not for everybody.
(01:40):
It's not, you know, the purest, the greatest of pure
basketball in terms of movement and player relocation. There's a
lot of stuff to it. And it's interesting because I've
gotten a chance to spend a lot of time around
a couple of college basketball programs, specifically this year in
Oklahoma State, and you know, the rewiring of players, even
(02:00):
really really talented young players to fit a college system
in a college style. And look Oklahoma State style for example,
everything they're running, for the most part in terms of
sets or mirror sets that you see run in FIBA
and run in the NBA. So when I say to
fit a college system, it sounds like you're trying to
do a square pay round hole. But the truth is
(02:21):
that's how they're going to play basketball the rest of
our lives. So you do have to kind of rewire
kids and help them understand that. You know, playing downhill
in high school and AAU and prep school ball that
may work, but now you get against like size, like
athletic kids, and some players aren't able to play downhill.
Matter of fact, when you watch the NBA as much
as Jason Tatum's in his bag, you know, you look
(02:43):
around the court and there's three or four other guys
that they don't dribble, or maybe rule of two, which
is you know you get two seconds too, dribbles always
play off two feet.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
It's a very kind of standard way of playing.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
You know, yes, you'll have one guy who gets a
chance to go one on one, but maybe one guy
on the roster or one guy on the floor at once.
And many of the players played in college aren't that
one guy, or at least not yet. But there is
something to the having camp where kids just try and
show themselves and have fun. You know, at the end
of the day, it is supposed to be about growing
your own kind of personal brand. Seeing all the rest
(03:18):
of the players around the country, seeing how they play,
what they're like, learning a little bit about them, and
watching them play, watching their movements, and you can it
doesn't it's not hard to figure out who the best
of the best are. It's not hard to figure out
who moves better and who's more athletic now once you
get to middle school, really six strade on, a lot
(03:39):
of it becomes about when you've hit puberty. If you've
hit puberty, early bloomers oftentimes reap the benefits more so
than late bloomers. But late bloomers, I mean, look at
the Golden State Warriors, right, I mean Steph Curry, late
bloom Clay Thompson late bloomer.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Andrew Wiggins is not a late bloomer.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
But I would say Raymond Green was heavy in college,
good player, but had to lose a bunch of weight.
But the point is, you go through the roster, you'll
find several late bloomers. Especially they're two superstars who have
ended up becoming virtual loxby Hall of Famers, and they
were not have they recruited. One reason was they were
late bloomers. Anyway, without further ado, I thought you'd enjoy this.
(04:21):
This is me Terry Holt catching up in regards to
his camp, which still has some open spots. So, Terry,
when people think of you and your family think of football,
I just do Thmas football.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
When did you first start hooping?
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Well, I first started hooping when I was about twelve
years old, you know when basically went in the alley,
taught myself, you know, begged my grandma to sign me
up for you know, the local team, and you know,
just went from there.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
What was it like when you who be like in
high school?
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Well, basically in high school, you know, I was kind
of like an average player, you know what I mean, Like,
you know, I was a good passer, good like basically
basically a solid.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Point guard, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
Like, you know, I was kind of like a nervous
player when when I was back in high school, you know,
And that's what kind of you know, that's why I
kind of like helping the kids now, like build their
confidence and stuff like that. Like when I'm at the camp,
you know, I kind of hype them up, you know,
help them get up on like the national rankings and
just anything to build the confidence man of a kid.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
It's interesting.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
It's interesting because I because the little I know you,
I would never think you'd lack confidence.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
What changed?
Speaker 3 (05:35):
What? What changing you personally that allowed you to build
you on some.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Well basically just you know kind of the stuff I
went through in my life, you know what I mean,
just basically you know, back when I was younger. You know,
like a lot of kids suffer from things that I
suffered from far as like peer pressure and just caring
about what other people think. And you know, so all
of that, you know my story, you know, all of
that kind to motivate me to you know, change it up.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
What was the toughest time you went through.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Well, the toughest time of my life. I went through
with well one of them. I got out a couple
of those. I'm gonna name one of them, you know
what I mean, far as pertaining to the business. One
of the toughest times is you know last year at
my camp, you know what I mean, it was probably
like let's say, uh, you know, a couple of days
before the camp, you know what I mean. Like, no,
(06:27):
it was about a week before the camp, you know,
not a couple of days like my shipment of jerseys
for the kids, you know what I mean. Somebody basically
you know, took them, you know what I mean. But
I still made it happen. It just was a tough time.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Did they take him out of your car or do
they take him ride?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Now?
Speaker 5 (06:45):
He basically he basically just kind of like you know
what they call it, finest me on the money, Like
I kind of sent you the money for the jerseys
and he never sent me you know what I needed
to get, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
But you know that was just one time, you know probably.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
So what so what was that like?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
So?
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
So for people who don't know T three TV? How
many kids did you have.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Lift ship oh Man, five hundred and forty kids?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
You got five hundred and forty kids. How many days
before camp did you realize you didn't have the jerseys?
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Well, it was probably I was reaching out to him
probably like fourteen days before the camp, just kind of like, hey,
when you're gonna send them, when you're gonna send them,
when you're gonna send them, And it was just.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
No response, you know.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
So I kind of like snapped into it probably like
set six seven days and I kind of had to
pay a lot more money to get the jerseys even
faster for the kids, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
How the camp comes to be? How did you come
up with the idea?
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Well, basically, I first my son, you know, I had
a kid, you know, like most dads, I liked the sports,
so you know, I basically going into local IMCA. So
I was recording videos on my phone, you know what
I mean, and uh, I just like start making videos
on him.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
He started. I kept training him. He basically went viral.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
I bought a camera, Like hold on, man, I kind
of you know, I kind of can do this. So
I started making videos on other kids, and then I
just like developed a passion for it. And then you know,
I kind of like start seeing so many kids. So
I developed like a ranking system for for the youth,
AAU basketball to help kids get exposure so they can
(08:29):
know who is who for right now, you know what
I mean. Like, you know, we all know rankings at
you know, pretty much sixth grade and under. It's like
it's gonna change, you know what I mean. But you know,
it's it's all fun for the kids, and uh that
kind I kind of developed a passion for, like, you know,
helping them.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Man, Like I just like to see.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
So how long how long ago was your first camp?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Four years ago?
Speaker 5 (08:55):
I'm the kids first camp, man, I blew him out
the water Man three hundred and I think thirty maybe
forty kids.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
When you when you start, when you start playing this
thing and you come up through the idea to put together.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
I made you really think you were going to do.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
I ain't gonna lie men. I thought I was gonna bust.
I thought I was gonna I thought I was gonna
get shit. I was scared. I thought I was gonna
get seventy kids. I thought it was over. And then
it was just like that, man, like they came. Like
you know, I always made looked out for the like
the really good kids. So I think that kind of
helped me in the long run, like far as me
(09:31):
seeing them at an event and I'll make a video
on them, and then I somehow, you know, let put
them on the rankings. And then it just developed in
the two where I start being kind and like a
little bit accurate, Like, you know, I got some real
kids that came through my camp, you know what I mean,
Like number one player AJ the BESTA. I'm probably saying
(09:52):
this name wrong. You know, that's a good friend of man.
He came through the camp. Uh, you know, I got
I got a lot of them, man like Jerry Eastern,
you know what I mean, Like, I got a lot
of kids that potential pros that's gone.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
I'm me talking a lot of trash in the Future Man.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Show show you end up having three hundred and thirty
kids or so the first one. Right, So what happens
when you have success in the basketball of any world
is now said, everybody wants to be your friend.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Everybody wants to speak right, Yeah, like just as.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Your thing you create, how have you been able to
kind of maintain your own brand and your own things
when everybody wants to piece.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
Well, you know, it's kind of it's it's it ain't easy.
I tell you that, you know what I'm saying, Like,
you know, it's basically I just take you know, I
just roll with the punches, man Like. I definitely made
mistakes like far as doing business with the wrong people
far as uh, you know, I just gotta like I've
just been living and learning, you know what I mean,
(10:54):
and just getting better every year, you know what I
mean to where I.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Locked it in solid.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
So if somebody is trying to get into the basketball
business and business business one of the things you're doing,
how would you invite.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Well, first of all, I would say, you definitely got
to get in with the kids, because they gotta want
to come and support your event before the parents even
think about bringing you get what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
And you know, another thing is, so.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
How do you do that? Okay, let's just start with
the kids. How did I did? Like, we're all adults,
we're all parents. How do you get into the kids
want to be your events?
Speaker 4 (11:31):
What? What's the secret?
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Well, the secret is, man, you got you gotta you
gotta kiss, you gotta you know, you gotta, you gotta,
you gotta go, you got kiss the man.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
You got.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Mixtapes.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
You can't go up to them charging them right off
the brick. You cannot do that, you know what I mean.
You gotta you gotta post them a lot.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
That still might not work, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
You gotta kind of and you gotta kind of represent
yourself to where people want to look up to you.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
You know what I mean. You gotta be like a
power role model.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
You can't just be someone that's just I mean, basically,
I'm not saying you can't be a regular person, but
you gotta have something special about you, man, Like it
could be you making mixtapes. You can have a talent
and making mixtapes. You can have charisma with the people,
you know what I mean. It's all types of things
(12:21):
you can do. But my advice to anyone is just
build your connections and the kids are included with the connections,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Okay, so you build your connections to every kids, then.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
What then you have to get a website, You have
to basically get a flyer. You have to do you know,
a lot of planning and how are you going to
run this camp? How are you gonna do Drills's it
gonna just be games? How many teams? How many kids
are you going to accept? Who's going to be in
charge of coaches? It's all type of planning you have
(12:54):
to do before you even thinking about because a lot
of these people just throw out a flyer and don't
even know what they're doing, and then when the camp come,
it just be some some crazy stuff that you wish
you never win, waste your money on, you know.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
What I mean? So you know, and I didn't. I didn't.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
I didn't been through that where I wasn't organized, uh
the way I could be.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
You get what I'm saying. And you know, my advice
to anyone man is.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Just you gotta you gotta get in with the people
like however you can.

their songs, you know what I mean. You know, he
liked a little dirt, of course, you know what I mean.
Uh yeah, a little dirt. He got the jukes right now,
(16:27):
you know what I mean? King Von he like, look,
he liked the King Vin, you know what I mean.
Uh But Lebron James is probably the one he really
look up to the most.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
What is basketball like?
Speaker 5 (16:40):
In the final I feel like it's it's good, but
you gotta it's spaced out. We got some good basketballs,
but it's like it's not like a bigger city to
where you can kind of stay local and play against
some good people like you got a kind of like
me being a day.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
But you got you got, you got thirteen Division in schools, right,
you got you got Cincinnati, got Dayton, We've got Columbus,
you got Cleveland.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
When you get to that level, it was wonderful, you know,
far as but far as the youth. I would you know,
I would like it if if if we could unite
a little bit more in here, because we got a
lot of ballers here.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Man.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
We have the same the same problem at a bigger
scale in la right where you're like there's so many
teams and so many dudes doing their own things. Like hey,
if we just had like one or two dreams ship,
we beat everybody, but they all kind of all break off.
And I know it's at that way in Ohio, even
smaller state right where everybody's kind of got their own thing,
and then you end up you play against each other
all the time. And if you just united and play together,
(17:39):
now you have a super team.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
We'll have a monster.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
We'll have a monster, like like every grade left talking
about from kindergarten to high school.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
You know what I'm saying, Like.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
We will be able to really make some noise if
we really just combined and and you know, but but
I know that's a little I know that would probably
you know that's that's that's slim.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I'm on happening.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
But I wish you could, man, you know what I'm saying,
because we got a lot of talent here that's spaced
out and I'm tired of traveling the place.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Some good competition, no question.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Okay, what about tilling your youngest son?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
I was he six years old?
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Six years old?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Baby man, My baby boy, My baby boy.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Man?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
He now start?
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Is he going to be the monster?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
He gonna be the monster?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Man.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
I really feel like he got the potential to be
rich off playing the game like like that.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
That guy.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Man, he has a personality. He will make you laugh.
He smile a lot, you know what I mean. He's
just a wonderful kid.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Man.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
He a hooper too. We just we just we're just
now starting with him though, so you know, we just
letting him do what he do.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Right now.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
How many so Harry's videos have going viral?
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Everybody in the circuit knows who is what's what's the
most downloaded videos?
Speaker 4 (18:57):
How many how many views? The most downloaded up?
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Man, he got a few of them that got a
million views. He got a couple on on YouTube by
Courtside Films. Over time, posting. He got a million views
over there for l A actually was the first video
that he actually went viral. It was a funny video
where he was he crossed probably about twelve kids and
made him fall and he just was you know, you
(19:22):
know how Fla is man. He'd be doing all type
of funny stuff and then he probably got about a
good he didn't been he'd have been featured on Sports Center. Uh,
Lebron James posted about him one time. It wasn't It
wasn't a I ain't gonna say it was a good post,
but Lebron James saying your name or I mean sharing
something with your picture on it, it's always good. It
(19:45):
don't matter what he's say.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
So what how are you kind of on him? Level headed?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Right?
Speaker 4 (19:51):
It's like he's a thing.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
He watched the gym and he's eleven years old and
everybody knows who he is.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
How do you keep paying kind of at the right level.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
We don't want to kill his confidence, right, but you
don't want to walk around with the big head and
be arrogant and be some of the people do on
the mind.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Yeah, I mean it's kind of that's kind of the
roughest part of with me and him is the balance
of being coached and day. You get what I'm saying,
Like sometimes he needs me to comfort him, and you know,
you know how dads are, man, We're pretty hard on
our kids sometimes, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
And it's definitely that's definitely a hard part to balance.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
But I kind of stay on him so he won't
because it's me and you both know how hard it
is to get to the league, you know what I mean.
So I kind of can't let him get big headed
right now because this is just like only we're not
even in the beginning yet, you know what I mean,
Until we touch the high school floor, you know what
I mean, Like then the process begins.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
So I just you know, you got to be humble, man.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
I'm definitely a believer of a higher power, you know
what I mean, And I just believe that humble man
always win, you know what I'm.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Saying, no question, no question. An umber yourself in order
to learn and be taught as well.

come at you with this and that, and then he
just swift, he flipped the switch on and then he
just Lebron does what he wants. Man Like, he's playing
with the league right now. He's not even playing serious.
That's what I just feel like. That's just me. I
don't feel like he's playing for real. I feel like
he's just we were chilling.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Man.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Anthony Davis had zero points in the second half, Like,
what is going on?
Speaker 6 (23:53):
Man?
Speaker 5 (23:53):
I ain't gonna really speak on eighty right now, but
I do believe in him, and I believe he gonna
turn it around.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
In Ohio, I mentioned Cleveland, Columbus, Uh, Cincinnati, Dayton.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
What's the best group city?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Dayton got some we got some pros. Man. I gotta
I gotta say Dayton on top.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
That Dayton's I'd say Dayton's underrated, right.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
That's why I mean, it's kind of it's small, but
I gotta say Dayton on top because of like we
saw were small, but we always seem to make some noise,
man Like, we always seem to climb out the dust
like the dirt.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
It just who's the who's the best player out of Dayton?
Speaker 4 (24:33):
Ever, who's the who's the who's the best player of.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
Day did were we talking on? Are we talking on
a profile or what I haven't seen? If we talking
on a profile or what I have seen?
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Probably on the profile because like, okay, so I grew
up in Orange County. Orange County is south of Watana,
and probably the best brow we have is play Thomson
plays the best.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
Amount of I would say from their profile, from winning
CHAMPI shifts and just being around you know, certain caliber players.
I would say Norris Cole. Then I would say, uh,
I gotta go with day Kwon Cook.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
I mean some we got.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
We got some people that didn't touch the floor, but
them two the actual like day Kwon Cook actually won
the three point contest. Norrise Cole actually won multiple multiple,
multiple NBA championships playing with d Wade and Lebron You
get what I'm saying. So from you, you being from Dayton,
you done made it to beat next to Dwayne Wade
and Lebron James. Man, like we got it. We gotta
(25:33):
tell our hell we got to take our hair off
to you.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Well, I can't wait to see in person This camp
is amazing. Everybody's talking about it. I mean, over six
hundred kids is ridiculous and uh, and we'll keep it
going and we'll look forward to seeing Terry the third place.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Thanks so much for joining it.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I appreciate you, man, and I see you real soon.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Min Thanks to Terry more so than anything.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
And he does it. Yes, does he make money doing
this camp? Right? You do the math?
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Find out how much cost six hundred kids. Not sure
how much the facility costs and the uniforms cost, but
there's definitely there's some overhead, but not a ton.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
He's going to make some money. But I can tell
you from having been a.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Parent at the camp and watching and understanding why it's
so successful, that it does, in fact celebrate the kids,
celebrate the players, and the kids like it. That's really
kind of what's about. It's kind of the well spring
for this type basketball in the Midwest. And we'll report
back on the stars of the future if you will.
I don't like the ratings either, Terry doesn't, but it
(26:35):
is kind of a necessary part of telling kids what
to shoot for and what to watch for. It's not
the finish line, but it is a good kind of
way of stacking kids at this point in their lives.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
My thanks Terry Hope for joining me. I'm Doug Gottlieb.
This is all ball
