Basketball Coaches Clinic | September 12–13, 2025Tarkanian Basketball Academy, Las VegasPresented by Merino Sports & Events Solutions and Chris Rivers RAPP

The Mark Warkentien Legacy Coaches Weekend isn’t just a clinic—it’s a celebration of the coaching profession, a gathering of minds, and a tribute to a man who devoted his life to helping others succeed.

Mark Warkentien was more than an NBA Executive of the Year. He was a connector, a mentor, a teacher—and one of the most respected minds in the game. Whether you were a head coach or a student trying to break into the business, Mark made time for you. His impact extended far beyond championships and draft boards—it lived in the way he gave to the game, and to those who loved it.
