Two-time national Coach of the Year Jamie Dixon of Pittsburgh rounds out the collegiate coaches who will speak at this year's clinic. Dixon has guided the Panthers to three Big East titles and has a 262-86 all-time record as a head coach.
 
Joining them are three other coaches and teachers of the game from the NBA level: Lawrence Frank, former head coach of the New Jersey Nets and Detroit Pistons; John Lucas, former San Antonio Spurs, Philadelphia 76ers, and Cleveland Cavaliers head coach; and Steve Clifford, a 15-year NBA assistant who was recently named head coach of the Charlotte Bobcats, round out the lineup for what has become one of the premier coaching clinics in America.

"In Brayden's Eyes, The Brayden Carr Foundation Inc.", is a 501(c)(3) non- profit charitable organization established by Jim and Natalie Carr, parents of the late Brayden James Carr. Jim enters his second season as an assistant coach on Dan Hurley's staff at the University of Rhode Island. His wife, Natalie, is a former athletic trainer, coach, local teacher, and most importantly Brayden's Mommy.
 
Brayden Carr was an adorable two and a half year old boy whose beautiful life was much too short. Brayden's battle remains an inspiration to us and his courage and perseverance is a tribute to the human spirit. Out of horrific tragedy, in May, 2011, the Carr family dedicated their lives to honoring their son's indomitable spirit and infectious enthusiasm for life through positive endeavors.
 
The foundation has a fully volunteer staff and 100% of the net proceeds go directly into the scholarship fund to help put smiles on many kids' faces.  By way of service projects and fundraising ventures, they hope to provide athletic, social, rehabilitative, and academic opportunities to children with seizure conditions and their related physical needs, as well as provide humanitarian support/relief to their parents.
