MAN TO MAN DEFENSIVE CONCEPTS & DRILLS
Coach Ryan Osborn, Carmel HS (IN)
Coach Ryan Osborn has one of the best high school head coaching positions in the nation. In this on-the-court clinic presentation, Coach Osborn takes the on-the-court demonstrators through various man-to-man defensive drills & talks about the “why” for each drill. Coach Osborn has earned the reputation of being one of the best teachers of man-to-man defense in the state of Indiana.
Ryan Osborn of Carmel is an IBCA District 2 Coach of the Year after leading Carmel to a 26-2 season that included the Class 4A state championship. Earlier, the Greyhounds also claimed titles in the Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference, the Carmel Sectional, the Logansport Regional and the Lafayette Semi-State.
He has a four-year record of 91-18 as a varsity head coach with one MIC, four sectional, three regional and three semi-state crowns in addition to the two state championships.
Osborn will be head coach for the 2021 Indiana All-Stars. He was to coach the 2020 Indiana All-Stars, but the 2020 All-Star games were canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. He previously was an assistant coach for the 2019 Indiana Junior All-Stars.
A 1999 graduate of Logansport High School, Osborn competed in basketball, baseball and football in high school and averaged 19.4 points in basketball as a senior. He attended Butler University for one semester, then transferred to IUPUI where he played three seasons of basketball – including being a part of the Jaguars’ team that earned a berth in the 2003 NCAA Tournament. He graduated from IUPUI in 2004 and later earned a master’s degree in 2009 from A.T. Still University in Mesa, Ariz.
Osborn began his coaching career as IUPUI’s director of basketball operations for Ron Hunter from 2004-06. He then served as a boys’ basketball assistant coach at Avon to Jason Young for five seasons and followed with six years as a boys’ basketball assistant to Scott Heady at Carmel. The Orioles were 62-46 during his time in Hendricks County, including a school-best 20-3 mark in 2010-11. The Greyhounds were 131-25 while he assisted with five sectional titles plus two regional, two semi-state and two Class 4A state championships.
