Basketball is not just a living for Anthony Perry, but it’s a way of life. It’s a family lifestyle. Perry got into coaching at the age of 14 thanks to his aunt, who was the assistant director of a Boys and Girls Club in Arkansas.
He created his own youth basketball program, the Springfield Rockets, back in 1994. He was there until 2002, when he got into college coaching. Now he coaches the MOKAN basketball squad of the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League, which includes Michigan basketball’s latest committed prospect — 2022 four-star big man Tarris Reed.
