About Thomas More University Basketball
Thomas More basketball demands versatility and ball movement. Coach Justin Ray builds rosters around pace-and-space principles, prioritizing guards who can create and wings with size who defend multiple positions. The Saints operate in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference, a competitive Division II landscape where efficiency margins are tight and depth rotations are critical. What Thomas More produces: Players who understand spacing, transition timing, and defensive accountability. The program values basketball IQ alongside athleticism, you'll see guards running pick-and-roll reads and forwards rotating on the perimeter in help situations. Ray's system rewards consistency and coachability; bench production matters as much as starter minutes. The player profile fits here: High-motor guards (5'11"–6'3") with ball-handling range and assist-first mentality. Forwards (6'4"–6'9") who can guard 1–4 and shoot the three. Centers who set screens, finish around the rim, and hold their ground defensively. Thomas More doesn't chase highlight plays; it builds lineups that execute. The GMAC sits at an athletic level where tournament seeding depends on win-loss purity and strength of schedule. Playing time opens for guards who can handle pressure and forwards who move without the ball. Players who arrive at college campus-ready, technically polished and physically prepared, get noticed faster. Florida Coastal Prep's post-graduate program in Fort Walton Beach, FL is built to close that gap. Learn more at floridacoastalprep.com or visit /apply/ to start the conversation.
