The clinic aims at providing a platform for coaches to gather together and continue to learn in the game of basketball and leadership. Olson is the fourth coach to speak at the dinner following Mississippi State head coach Ben Howland, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr and Sacramento Kings head coach George Karl. At the dinner, attendees will be able to hear stories from Olson and participate in a Q-and-A with the former coach.<\/p>\n
