About Indiana University Kokomo Basketball
At Indiana University Kokomo, basketball is built on relationships. Head coach Eric Echelbarger believes that the best teams develop when players genuinely know each other, trust their coaches, and feel invested in something bigger than themselves. In the River States Conference, that philosophy translates into a program where every player matters and contributes meaningfully to the culture. Being part of a smaller NAIA program means you're not just a roster number. Echelbarger and his staff prioritize individual development alongside competitive growth. Players experience direct access to coaching, personalized feedback, and a coaching staff genuinely committed to their academic and personal success. The campus community in Columbus, Indiana, creates an environment where student-athletes can develop as complete people, not just basketball players. IU Kokomo attracts players who want to compete seriously while being known and valued as individuals. The program competes in a conference that respects hard work and fundamentals, and Echelbarger's approach emphasizes discipline, execution, and team-first basketball. You'll find teammates who push you daily and coaches who remember your name, your goals, and what matters to you beyond the court. If you're looking for a program that feels like family and treats development as a partnership between player and coach, Indiana University Kokomo offers that rare combination of competitive basketball and genuine community. 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.
