Greg Stempin - NBA (Milwaukee Bucks), Portugal, University of Toledo, 1997 Michigan Dream Team

At 6'8" a lot of people didn't think I handled the ball well enough to play small forward in college. Working with Coach Guinane and some new drills, my ball handling improved and I ended up starting at small forward.

John Ciszewski - President of Detroit Pistons / Shock AAU, Executive VP of Detroit Pistons

Dave's Basketball Workshop is by far the most organized, complete instruction I've seen for players at all levels. Above all, it gets results! Players have come back to us as better individuals and team players. More importantly, their confidence level is at an all time high. Their ability to try new moves and have the confidence to use them in game situations is tremendous. I can't send enough people his way.

Vince Baldwin - President of Prep Spotlight Magazine

As President of Prep Spotlight Magazine, I get approached by numerous businesses about endorsing their products or services. Because our reputation is all we have, I have been very selective in who or what I endorse. One thing I do endorse without hesitation is The Basketball Workshop. I have personally referred over 20 people to Dave Guinane & his staff, and every one of them has responded back to me that they saw noticeable improvement in their games, and overall skill level. To me, that's the best endorsement you can get.

Coach Josh Matthews - Head Coach at Labette Junior College

I have coached college basketball for 7 seasons. I am currently the head coach at Labette Community College in Parsons, KS. We have never finished lower than 4th in the conference and we have sent 7 kids to division one in my three years here. Before this, I was at Western Kentucky University where we played in two NCAA tournaments, and I had an opportunity to coach three WNBA players and several all conference performers.

I can say without hesitation that Dave is one of the finest teachers of the offensive skills that are needed to take your game to the next level. He is a great teacher of how to properly shoot the basketball, but he also teaches the necessary skills to get that shot off in a game.

I have coached several kids that have come out of Dave's workshop and have been pleased with them all. I trust his knowledge enough, that if Dave says a kid can play, we recruit the kid. You just can’t go wrong working out at the workshop!

Tom Marsh - Assistant Coach of Detroit King

Don't believe the hype! Basketball is fundamentals! As a former high school All-American and University of Detroit team captain, I know the benefit of fundamentals, shooting, offensive moves and footwork. Coach Guinane provides the best methods and teaching principles to begin to master these skills. I have personally seen him work with high school and college players and the results are amazing! His clinics are a must for all serious players.

I really felt an improvement within myself, (mentally and physically) after working out with you. Thank you for your time, dedication, and encouragement. You believed that I could play at a Division I level, even when I didn't believe I was good enough.
