D.H. Conley High School Hall of Famer and Philadelphia 76ers Assistant Coach, Rico Hines, will conduct a basketball clinic for boys aged 6-14 on September 7th at his alma mater, where he starred as the starting point guard during his freshman and sophomore years. While at Conley, Hines was also an outstanding football and baseball player, leading the football team to the State championship game as the quarterback.
Hines boasts an impressive record in both playing and coaching basketball. After leaving Conley, he transferred to Saint John’s at Prospect Hall in Maryland. Awarded an athletic scholarship to UCLA, Hines served as team captain for three of his five years, during which the Bruins made five NCAA appearances, including four trips to the Sweet 16. He graduated from UCLA with a bachelor's degree in history and a minor in African American studies and received the Elvin C. 'Ducky' Drake Award for competitive spirit, inspiration, and unselfish contribution, as well as the Bruin Hoopsters J.D. Morgan Memorial Award for Outstanding Team Play.
With nearly 20 years of experience in professional and collegiate basketball coaching, Hines is currently the Assistant Coach and Director of Player Development for the Philadelphia 76ers. He has also coached with the Golden State Warriors, St. John’s Red Storm, Reno Bighorns, and Toronto Raptors.
Every summer during the offseason, Hines directs the famous “Rico Hines Runs” at UCLA, where nearly all the biggest stars in basketball converge for competitive pick-up games. His YouTube channel, Rico Hines Basketball, documents these games, featuring players like PascalSiakam, LaMelo Ball, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, James Harden, and Trae Young, among manyothers.
