About Penn State Dubois Basketball
At Penn State DuBois, basketball isn't just what you do—it's how you become part of something. Head coach Dylan Howard builds a program where relationships matter as much as rebounds. You'll find yourself in a place where coaches know your name, your story, and what drives you, because here, you're not just a roster spot. Competing in the USCAA and Penn State University Athletic Conference, the Lions prioritize player development through genuine investment. Smaller rosters mean more minutes, more voice in team decisions, and more direct access to coaching that shapes both your game and your character. Your teammates become your brothers, and the locker room culture reflects a commitment to each other that carries onto the court and into life after basketball. This is college basketball at a human scale—where your effort gets noticed immediately, where you belong from day one, and where the community around the program genuinely cares about your success. Dylan Howard and his staff understand that the best teams are built on trust, and trust comes from being known. If you're looking for a place that values you as a person first and a player second, Penn State DuBois offers exactly that environment. Coaches at programs like this recruit players who come in ready to contribute.
