What They Say
Words From Coaches & Athletes
Hear from the coaches and players who know Thomas best.
From Coaches
“I played professionally with Thomas in the top league in Italy. Thomas pays close attention to details and takes pride in getting better on and off the court. You don't have to run the fastest, jump the highest, or be the strongest to play this game. Being able to utilize your talents and working to get better everyday will give you the opportunity to reach the next level. Thomas is a fine example of this and having your son or daughter work with him will help them obtain their goals on and off the court.”
Mike Nardi
Villanova Asst. Coach
“I could not recommend a better person and friend to mold our youth to become better people both on and off the basketball floor. I have had the pleasure of working out and playing with Thomas on a professional level. He has always been a professional and knows the game of basketball and more importantly knows how to teach the game of life.”
BJ McKie
Wake Forest Asst. Coach
“I know Thomas from when he was a rookie in Italy. First time for him on a professional team in Italy. He was with us just a few months and I was lucky to know a real player and person. His passion and Basketball IQ are very high. He knows the game. He knows how to read the game and to be effective in the game. I absolutely believe he would be a great teacher about any details on the floor, technical and mental.”
Marco Crespi
Legendary Italian Coach
“I have known Thomas Viglianco since 2000 when I was recruiting him for college. He is one of my favorite players over the many years of coaching because of his passion for the game and talent. His hard work on the court has allowed Thomas to play professional overseas for the last 6 seasons. I hope that kids and parents get to see his true love for the game. Not only is he a great player but a great person and friend.”
Pat Skerry
Towson Head Coach
From Alumni
“Thomas helped me refine my shooting mechanics and develop the mental toughness I needed to compete at the next level. His experience playing professionally in Europe gives him a perspective that most trainers simply don't have.”
