M14 Staff

Tyrick Bennett
HEAD TRAINER / DIRECTOR, BASKETBALL OPERATIONS
Coach Ty, a Dallas, TX native, brings a wealth of experience and passion for the game of basketball. A four-year varsity standout at Parish High School, Ty scored over 2,000 points during his high school career. He continued his basketball journey at Collin Community College in Plano, TX, where he excelled as an All-Conference guard for two seasons. Ty led his team in assists and was among the top three scorers on a roster where all 12 players went on to compete at the next level.
After Collin, Ty transferred to Division II powerhouse, the University of Texas at Tyler. As a junior, he was second on the team in scoring and rebounding while leading in assists. Unfortunately, his senior season was cut short due to a season-ending injury after just two games.
Following his playing career, Coach Ty quickly transitioned to coaching. He began as an assistant varsity coach at his alma mater, Parish High School, before taking an assistant coaching role at Collin Community College under the legendary Coach Jim Sigona. Over the last three years, Ty has also gained extensive experience working with youth, coaching boys and girls from 3rd grade through high school with D1 Basketball.
