Coach Comments (College)

As a player, Greg exemplifies the meaning of a versatile point guard. He has the ability to be a pure point guard capable of running any style offense, while also possessing the ability to take over a game at any time. Greg has been able to play on both sides of the spectrum. Enjoying seasons of being first in the conference in assist, and being second in the conference at scoring, his game is unlimited. Greg has range from 23 ft and inward to his masterful jump shot. He also boasts a very strong frame, which allows him to finish on players taller than him. As a person, he has great leadership qualities that are present on and off the court. He can be the coach on the floor, and is capable of taking the reigns to be successful. Hard working and passionate, Greg Scott is nothing short of a coach’s dream.
