About Lawrence Technological University Basketball
You need to be ready. That's the standard at Lawrence Technological University. Head Coach Josh Pickens builds a program that moves fast, expects precision, and rewards players who show up prepared to compete from day one in the Wolverine–Hoosier Athletic Conference. This is NAIA basketball with edge. The team demands ball security, defensive intensity, and the kind of work ethic that shows up in film sessions and strength training. You're not here to figure out the college game, you're here to execute it. Pickens evaluates players who understand their role and buy in immediately. Playing in Southfield puts you in a competitive Michigan environment where every possession matters. The program develops guards who can run a system and big men who defend. There's no coasting. Games are earned through preparation, practice habits, and the willingness to outwork opponents. This opportunity moves forward without waiting. If you're serious about playing at a level where fundamentals and toughness separate starters from bench players, Lawrence Tech demands you're already there. Programs don't rebuild players, they build on what you bring. Are you that player? 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.
