From the Sidelines to Player Advocacy
For the last twenty years, Coach Tom Parks has lived every side of elite basketball. His career spans playing NCAA Division I hoops at Youngstown State, competing professionally overseas in Spain (EBA League), learning under Hall of Fame icon Don Meyer at Northern State, and orchestrating national program turnarounds as a JUCO Head Coach.
Most recently at Casper College, Coach Parks put together a dominant run—compiling a 49-16 record (.754 winning percentage, ranking #2 all-time in program history) and leading national offensive efficiency at 95.0 PPG. In two seasons at Casper alone, he moved 14 players on to 4-year programs, including sending all-time scoring leader Abdul Bashir to Auburn University in the SEC.
Across his 128+ career head coaching wins, Coach Parks operated as a player advocate long before NIL existed—placing over 70 players into 4-year programs, 40+ into NCAA Division I, and 23 into professional ranks. After stepping down from the sidelines on his own terms to prioritize his family, Coach Parks launched Falcon Athlete Management to give athletes 100% of his direct focus, film analysis, and deep recruiting network.

BIG TEN HEAD COACH
"He is what is right about the coaching profession."
"First thing I can say is Tom is a great human being. He's a great person who happens to be a great coach. I have seen the relationships he has with his players and had conversations where I can hear how much he truly cares about them as people. He is what is right about the coaching profession. He is a tremendous teacher of the game on the court... and a great mentor off the court."

"Real loyalty, high-level basketball IQ, and unwavering character."
"Having been in the NBA for 17 years, I know what real loyalty, work ethic, and character look like. Tom is as genuine as they come. He’s been in my corner since Day 1, and I’ve seen firsthand how he fights for his players on and off the court. He knows the game inside out, but his commitment to his people is what truly sets him apart."
