EP 50 - Charlie Henry, Assistant Coach, University of Alabama

Coach Charlie Henry
In this episode, you’ll hear from Charlie Henry. Coach Henry is currently an assistant coach for Coach Nate Oats at the University of Alabama. Coach Charlie is in year three with this top twenty-five nationally-ranked basketball program. As you soon will hear, Coach Nate Oats gave Coach Henry his first start in coaching. Coach Oats offered Coach Henry an assistant position at Romulus High School right after his playing days ended at Madonna University in Livonia, Michigan. However, Charlie Henry knew that he wanted to be a coach at the tender age of five years old. Growing up and watching his dad, Chuck, coach his high school team, Charlie’s first love has always been coaching. Right after getting his feet wet in the coaching profession, Coach Henry immediately set forth on an action packed coaching journey. Quite simply, his ten-year resume is absolutely incredible: Graduate Assistant at Utah for Coach Jim Boylen. Video intern for Coach Frank Vogel at the Indiana Pacers. Graduate Assistant, Player Development, and Assistant Coach for Coach Fred Hoiberg at Iowa State. Oh by the way, at the time, Coach Henry was the youngest assistant coach in the Big 12. Assistant Coach for Coach Fred Hoiberg with the Chicago Bulls. And, finally, Head Coach of the Windy City Bulls in the G-League. This is a young assistant coach who is destined to be a Division I head coach very soon. However, nothing in this podcast is about Coach Henry. Charlie is so complimentary of the Head Coaches that he has learned under and the co-workers that he has also had the pleasure to work alongside. In addition, this conversation is an incredible inside look at Coach Nate Oats and his Alabama basketball program. The amount of ownership that Coach Oats gives his staff is so eye opening. Finally, so much of this podcast is about serving. Whether it is preparing his players to play a game or helping his players get better, Coach Henry is determined to help his players become the best version of themselves. And, trust me, we are all going to be better coaches and leaders after listening to this future head coach.
