Coach Audra Clark has taken over the St. Kate’s women’s basketball program, where she is the all-time leading scorer. Clark returns to St. Kate’s after serving as an assistant coach at Northern Illinois University during the 2025-26 season. Before NIU, she spent time at Bowling Green State University, where she served as Director of Player Personnel and gained experience in program operations, player development, recruiting support, and day-to-day administration at the Division I level. Clark began her collegiate coaching career at SUNY Oswego, working for two seasons alongside former St. Catherine head coach Sean Pinkerton. She then spent two seasons as an assistant coach at SUNY Cortland before moving to Bowling Green. Throughout her coaching career, Clark has worked alongside and learned from several coaches with ties to the Wildcat program, including Pinkerton and former St. Catherine head coach Tim Kjar, while also continuing her relationship with mentor Jacey Brooks at Northern Illinois. Before beginning her coaching career, Clark established herself as one of the most accomplished players in St. Catherine basketball history. Playing alongside her twin sister, Meg, Clark helped lead the Wildcats to back-to-back MIAC Playoff appearances and concluded her career as the program’s all-time leading scorer with 1,483 points. She also holds the program record with 379 career assists and remains among St. Catherine’s all-time leaders in field goal percentage, single-season scoring and single-season assists. Clark earned MIAC All-Conference honors twice, received All-Conference Honorable Mention recognition twice, and was selected to the MIAC All-First-Year Team. During her senior season, she led the MIAC in assists per game. #basketballcamp, #basketballdrills, #basketballgame, #wbca, #kbca #highschoolbasketballcoaching, #nabc, #ibcacoaches, #ibca, #newyorkhighschoolbasketball, #kentuckyhighschoolbasketball, #illinoishighschoolbasketball, #gripspritz, #coachingclinics, #basketballcoachingclinics, #basketballvideos, #basketballclinicvideos, #newjerseyhighschoolbasketball, #westvirginahighschoolbasketball, #bcam, #virginahighschoolbasketball, #minnesotahighschoolbasketball, #northdakotahighschoolbasketball, #southdakotahighschoolbasketball, #iowahighschoolbasketball, #northcarolinahighschoolbasketball, #marylandhighschoolbasketball, #basketballcoachingclinics ,#basketballcoachingcommunity, #pennsylvaniahighschoolbasketball, #virginiahighschoolbasketball, #michiganhighschoolbasketball, #usabasketball, #nhsbca

I just wanted to reach out and say thank you so much for the content you have shared! I watched your blocker/mover 101 YouTube video just now. I am all in on running it this season. I coach Varsity Girls basketball at Herscher HS in Illinois. My name is Tim McElroy. I can tell you care about kids the way you talk and your love for the game and sharing!! I would love to get on the phone with you sometime and talk more about basketball if you'd ever be available to share more wisdom with a young coach. This will be my 2nd season as the head coach. We have a couple of decent shooters and really athletic raw players and then a bunch of girls I don't want handling the ball haha so Dick Bennett's very basic flare pin continuity, where we have started this summer and I love hiding players in the blocker spots. I believe we will only be as good as our SCREENS this season and man I have never had a coach explain it in such a detailed manner like you!!” Coach Tim McEloy, IL “Derek Sheridan and I met as opponents playing for Huntington College and Saint Francis College in the old NAIA Mid-Central College Conference in the early 90’s. He has always been a basketball junkie wanting to learn as much as possible about all aspects of the game. Over the past 30 years in our quest to become head coaches, Derek has worked his way from the bottom up sponging knowledge from personal experience, meeting with rookie through veteran coaches, watching videos and game film, collaborating with peers, and writing books along the way. As a coach, he has personally been a mentor to countless numbers of young coaches and players helping them become as fundamentally sound as can be while instilling values and integrity. It is fitting that he is continuing the mentorship by passing along his vast amounts of knowledge to innumerable amounts of coaches through this website form of multimedia. As a peer who has been mentored by Derek multiple times along the way I am not surprised that he is delving into this venture to give coaches an opportunity at an easy way to advance their knowledge of basketball towards bettering the experience of their teams and players. Over the years, he has helped my program, specifically our Blocker/Mover offense & the aspects of the Princeton offense we’ve added. His organizational tools are unreal, they will save you time. Coach Eric Thompson, Huntington North HS, (IN); Head Boys’ Varsity Basketball Coach “We utilize most of the Rustbelt products for one reason, they make our lives easier. I could add a lot more to this statement but the main point I’m making is, RBCN products have made my life easier. Well done & thank you Coach Sheridan.” Coach Troy Opperman, Jackson Center HS (OH); Varsity Assistant “Just wanted to let you know we used your “32” zone offense last night against a top rated team
