PLAYER DEVELOPMENT & EVALUATION

From Mike’s playing career at Southeastern Louisiana it was evident he had an extreme passion and knowledge for basketball. It’s only fitting that he is involved in the basketball profession. His work ethic and drive separates him. He’s definitely what you call a basketball junkie.

I have had the privilege to work with Coach Cyprien. He is a mastermind at breaking down film and one of the best in the business. He's helped my players understand the different reads, attacking opportunities, shot selection, and making the one more pass. It’s amazing how he gets the players to understand the game. Highly recommend his services.

Coach Cyprien is elite in the basketball development space. He uses the film room, coupled with on-court development to analyze and improve a player’s game and take it to the next level.

 Coach Cyp embodies honesty, hard work, passion, and genuine care. His basketball knowledge is unparalleled, and his attention to detail is exceptional. Coach Cyp has personally guided my players, pinpointing their weaknesses and providing strategies for improvement while amplifying their strengths for consistent performance. His contributions to our Oak Forest Academy Basketball program have been invaluable, making a profound impact on both individuals and the team as a whole.

 Coach Mike has been very instrumental in changing and improving my game to help to extend my career from college basketball to become a professional overseas. He guided me as coach by teaching me to understand the game better through hours of watching film. I can’t thank him enough for all that he has done for me and my family over the years. Because of the work he has been doing with me, I able to get jobs in overseas and take care of my family.

I've been knowing Mike Cyprien for almost 5 years now. Cyp is one of the most genuine dudes in the basketball world. His knowledge and more importantly how he applies that knowledge to what he's doing is second to none! I've always loved bouncing ideas on the scouting and player evaluation piece with Cyp! It's hard to find guys in the basketball business that are truly in it for the right reasons and Cyp is definitely one. We value his scouting in our approach to recruiting and player evaluations every year! He's a guy that is only going to continue to get better and grow in this industry!
