About Our Lady of the Lake University Basketball
At Our Lady of the Lake University, you're not just joining a basketball program—you're becoming part of a community where coaches know your name, your story, and your aspirations. Head Coach Chris Dial builds relationships that extend far beyond the court, creating an environment where players feel genuinely invested in and supported. Competing in the Red River Athletic Conference, the Saints play meaningful basketball against opponents who challenge them to grow. This NAIA level offers the competitive intensity you're seeking without sacrificing the personal attention that transforms players. Dial's approach emphasizes development—he invests time in understanding each athlete's goals, whether that's earning a degree with purpose, preparing for professional opportunities, or simply becoming the best version of themselves. San Antonio provides a vibrant backdrop for college life, with plenty of cultural experiences and a community that supports its teams. The campus itself fosters belonging; you'll find players who are genuinely connected to one another and their coaches, not just teammates going through the motions. What makes OLLU different is the belief that smaller programs create bigger impacts on individual lives. You'll play meaningful minutes, develop real relationships with your coaching staff, and be part of something that feels intentional and supportive.
