Coach Navro Allen
After graduating from Deer Park High School in the late 90s, Navro played college basketball at several different schools over his career. This included Sage College of Albany (Juco), Morris Brown in Atlanta, and Stony Brook University.
His training career began by working with Jerry Powell at Basketball Results in the early 2000s. He went on to coach several successful high school programs while his most recent coaching includes a boys’ youth team in Commack, Team Underrated, and the girls’ team at Five Towns College before coming to Knox.
Helping players achieve their goals through training is a passion. This passion pushes Navro to work closely with players on individual skills and conduct open workouts whenever possible.
