About Ottawa University Basketball
At Ottawa University, basketball is built on genuine relationships. Head coach Aaron Siebenthall creates an environment where players aren't just roster spots, they're part of a tight-knit community that invests in their growth both on and off the court. In the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference, you'll compete against programs that know your name, your story, and your potential. What makes Ottawa different is the personal approach. With a smaller roster, you get coaching attention that larger programs simply can't match. Siebenthall and his staff know their players deeply, which means development is tailored to who you are as a person and competitor. The campus culture emphasizes belonging, teammates become lifelong connections, and the support system extends beyond basketball. Ottawa values character and work ethic alongside skill. The program builds players who understand accountability, handle adversity, and lift each other up. You'll experience the kind of coaching relationship where feedback feels like investment rather than criticism, and where your coach remembers what matters to you off the court. If you're looking for a place where you'll be known, developed intentionally, and part of a family rather than just a program, Ottawa offers something increasingly rare in college athletics: genuine connection paired with serious competition. The recruiting process rewards players who can demonstrate consistent growth and readiness. Florida Coastal Prep's training environment in Fort Walton Beach, FL is designed to produce exactly that profile. Explore the program at floridacoastalprep.com.
