MikeCheck: Building positive relationships – and hoops skills – fuel Chandler’s case for National Jr. NBA C.O.Y

MEMPHIS – It would be easy to measure the impact Mariah Chandler is having within the Grizzlies Youth Basketball program by the skill development sessions the former NCAA champion shares through camps, clinics and virtual videos.

But Chandler prefers to assess real success in other meaningful ways.

“Every day when I approach these kids, I want them to not be afraid to learn something new, I want them to have fun and I want them to want to come back,” said Chandler, a Basketball Operations Assistant for the Grizzlies who volunteers as a coach and lead clinician with Grizzlies Youth Basketball.
