EP 64 - Jamie Quarles, Assistant Coach, University at Buffalo

Coach Jamie Quarles, 
In this episode, you’ll hear from Coach Jamie Quarles. Coach Jamie is currently an assistant coach for Coach Jim Whitesell at the University at Buffalo. Coach Jamie is in year five at this tremendous Mid Major basketball program in the MAC Conference. Right from the opening tip of this podcast, you will learn that Coach Quarles fell in love with the game of basketball when he was a little boy. As early as age six, Coach Jamie was in the gym non-stop with his first coaching mentor, his father. Coach Jamie does a beautiful job depicting the type of coach that his great, later father was. Coach Jamie played at Augusta University. This tremendous D2 university is in a super competitive league. And at Augusta, Coach Jamie got his start in college coaching and learned the profession. I can’t wait to hear how Coach Jamie was able to get hired by Coach Nate Oats at Buffalo. It is truly an incredible story. Coach Jamie gives some really good background on working for both Coach Oats and Coach Whitesell. Coach Jamie says that he is a mild-mannered, no ego type of guy who is a team player. I think that he is a rising star. The insight that he gives to young coaches on player development, developing player relationships, recruiting, and preparing to become a head coach one day is simply exceptional. In addition, the behind-the-scenes information that Coach Jamie provides about how he is the Offensive Coordinator at Buffalo is really good. It might even have you rethinking how you attack your upcoming season. Finally, the end of this podcast is so inspiring. I truly can’t wait to hear his simple tips for young coaches. No matter what level you coach or what position you are at, you will never give up!
