A Leadership Summit at UNLV
Assistant coaches Kyle Church and Drew Williamson have earned invitations to the 2026 TopConnect Basketball Symposium at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, a gathering that assembles the nation’s most promising basketball minds for intensive professional development and networking.
The symposium, focused on leadership and operational excellence in collegiate athletics, will expose the duo to cutting‑edge strategies in roster construction, name‑image‑likeness management and talent recruitment.
Church, who also serves as the program’s general manager, has overseen the meticulous assembly of competitive lineups while navigating the evolving NIL landscape, whereas Williamson has shaped the team’s recruiting pipeline, securing future stars through strategic outreach.
Their dual expertise reflects a broader shift within Michigan’s program, where analytical rigor and player development converge to sustain long‑term competitiveness, positioning the pair as potential architects of the next era in college basketball leadership.
