About your basketball coach
I’m Coach E, a former college and overseas basketball player turned professional skills trainer. I’ve spent years developing athletes of all ages — from youth players just learning the game to high school standouts with D1 potential. Currently, I serve as an assistant coach at Riverside High School in Durham, NC, and run Noch Skills Academy (NSA), where I specialize in building confident, skilled, and disciplined players. My coaching style is rooted in focus, energy, and accountability. Every session is structured to improve not just your skills, but also your mindset and understanding of the game. Whether it’s ball handling, shooting mechanics, footwork, or game IQ, I bring a pro-level approach tailored to your goals. If you’re serious about development and ready to put in the work, I’ll help you take your game to the next level.
