Scott AllenHead CoachEmail: scott.allen@twu.ca Phone1: 604.513.2124 Company: 1st Scott Allen arrived at TWU in 2008 with the goal of getting the Spartans men’s basketball program back into contention on the national stage.
And, after three years at the helm, he’s done exactly that.
Last year, his third with the Spartans, he led Trinity Western to its first CIS men’s basketball Final 8 and got them to the championship game before ultimately losing to Carlton and being forced to settle for a silver medal.
Allen led his team to a school record 21-3 record and a Canada West bronze medal. The Spartans impressive regular season also included a Spartans record 15-game winning streak.
Through three years, Allen now has a record of 47-18 in Canada West regular season action and an overall playoff record of 8-7.
In his first year at TWU, Allen guided the Spartans to a Canada West bronze medal with his team knocking off Brandon 82-71. The bronze medal capped off a successful season for the Allen-led Spartans as they turned an overall record of 4-24 in 2007-08 into a 22-12 record in 2008-09.
With the Canada West bronze medal fresh in everyone’s minds, the Spartans entered the 2009-10 season with lofty expectations and it was largely expected Allen, in his second year as head coach, would have his team in national contention all year.
Unfortunately, the season didn’t pan out as expected and the Spartans finished the campaign with an overall record of 12-11 and missed the Canada West playoffs.
In the summer of 2010, Allen kept busy with other sideline duties as he coached the Langley-based BC Titans of the International Basketball League.
Before arriving at TWU, Allen enjoyed a stellar career at South Surrey's White Rock Christian Academy. During his 15 years as head coach of the Warriors, Allen earned numerous team and individual awards – most notably three BC Boys (BCHSSBBA) "AAA" provincial championships in 1999, 2003 and 2005 – while compiling an impressive 503-117 record.
In addition to his head coaching duties at WRCA, Allen has coached Basketball BC's U17, U16 and U15 provincial teams. He has also been a head coach, an assistant coach or a guest coach at the Adidas All Canada All-Star game, Basketball Canada Regional Training Centre, the Super Pages Canada All-Star Game and the University of Florida Basketball Camp.
Allen also runs and owns One Pass Basketball Club, which nurtures athletes and trains new coaches. | |
