Chris Gaither - Collins (KY) High School Boys' Varsity Head Coach

Chris Gaither is the Head Boys Basketball Coach at Marth Layne Collins High School (Collins HS) in Shelbyville, KY. Chris just completed his 10th season at the helm of the Titan program. Averaging over 20 wins per season during his tenure there, Collins has become a perennial power in Kentucky high school basketball. In fact, Kentucky’s 2020 Mr. Basketball was none other than Collins product, Dayvion McKnight, a Western Kentucky University signee. Chris discusses program building, developing and managing youth programs, coaching the best player on the team, fundraising, his program’s calendar, among other topics. This interview will be of particular interest to those who are coaching at a new school, one without tradition and the challenges that comes with coaching in such a situation.

About the Podcast

CoachMays.com
The CoachMays.com Podcast is an explicit submergence into coaching high school basketball.

Having coached basketball for more than two decades, but only recently as a high school coach, I’m obsessed with learning as much as possible about winning at the prep level.

Together, we will learn from coaches across the basketball spectrum.

The purpose is simple, to give you that one take-a-way from each episode to make your high school program more successful tomorrow than it was today.

Welcome to the CoachMays.com podcast where my goal is to give you one take-a-way per episode to make your high school basketball program better tomorrow than it was today.

A college coach for almost two decades, I'm relatively new to the high school coaching scene. This past season, our high school program became the first program in Kentucky High School history to reach the 2000 win mark and we finished our abbreviated season (COVID) undefeated at 33-0.
