U.S.A. – Bahamas National Team veteran player Jaraun “Kino” Burrows continues to grow the game, this time from the sideline.

Burrows attended the 2025 USA Basketball Coach Academy in New York, joining a group of elite Coaches and educators for two days of development and networking.

The event featured presentations from some of the most respected names in the game including former NBA coach Stan Van Gundy, Hall of Famer Bob Hurley, and ten-time gold medal winner Don Showalter.

Topics ranged from attacking zone defenses and improving player decision-making to developing Team culture and communication.

For Burrows, it was a chance to bridge his perspective as a longtime player with his emerging role as a coach.

The former national team captain said the experience reinforced the importance of teaching fundamentals and building culture, both on and off the court.
