Head Boy’s basketball coach and teacher at Avoyelles Public Charter School, Coach Okie Benjamin has had a lot of success on and off the court with his student-athletes and has received many accolades.

He is extremely passionate and his knowledgeable of the game.

1. What qualities make a good coach?

One must have good leadership, an understanding of student-athletes, and of course an understanding of what you are coaching..

2. What makes a program successful?

It starts at the top with administration to the coach/coaches. The leadership and hardwork from us trickles down to the student-athletes. It is also important to have real expectations (every program isn’t built to win a championship) so what do you shoot for. For us, our expectations are to be one of the top programs in the state.

3. There are times when success is only defined if you win the championship. However, sometimes, success is not based on the numbers. Based on your improvement this year, how do you prepare your team?

We remain consistent, and my players know that I expect them to practice how we play. I spend a lot of time watching film. My players know I will put them in situations to be successful. We keep it simple! Defensively, we play the same every game as far as our game plan. Offensively, we try to take advantage of mismatches but offense comes and goes.
