One of the greatest pure shooters in Iowa history, Craig starred on two state title teams at MOC-FV High School while breaking state and school records from beyond the arc. He then took his game to Northwestern College where he was a two-time All-American and is the career leader in three-point field goals. Craig is currently the head coach at Carroll High School in Carroll, Iowa, where he took the Tigers to the state tournament in his first year at the helm. His previous South O’Brien teams also corralled numerous district and conference championships. Well-known for his off-season workouts as a player, Craig understands the importance of discipline and hard work to become a great shooter and basketball player. His ability to get the BEST from his players has made him an effective coach, teacher, and instructor. Craig and his wife Jen have three sons, Tanner, Brayton, and Tagen.

After participating as a student in the BEST Shooting program for many years, Brandon became an instructor in 2001. He was the Class 2A Iowa Coaches Association Player of the Year at Unity Christian High School, and later went on to lead teams to two NAIA National Championships at Northwestern College. At Northwestern, he was a three-time All-American, 2003 NAIA Player-of-the-Year, and is the career leader in points and assists. In returning to Germany, the two-time German All-Star will be entering his fifth season professionally with previous stints in Iceland, USBL, Holland, and Germany. In 2004, he led the Dutch league in scoring and three-point percentages, as well as being the three-point champ at All-Star Weekend. Brandon knows what it takes to play at the next level and has a desire to pass that on to each one of his students. Brandon and his wife Kyndara have a daughter, Jaelye.
