Today, the Mississippi State Athletic Department announced on their Twitter that David Deets has been named the new Mississippi State Director of Basketball Performance. For those of you who are unfamiliar with what that position entails, then let me sum it up for you. He is in charge of the Men’s and Women’s Basketball strength and conditioning programs.
Deets has been named a Master Strength Coach by the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association. That honor is designated only for the best of the best of strength coaches in the country, and the fact that the Mississippi State Basketball teams will now have a Master Strength Coach in charge of the program means that we are taking the steps necessary to become a perennial program in the country.
