Program
Creating a Family On and Off the Court
Second Baptist School's basketball program is rooted in tradition tailoring individual and team coaching. The philosophy of the basketball program is based on the premise that each team member believes that collective success is more important than individual glory. The men’s basketball team is driven by five core principles: humility, passion, unity, servanthood and thankfulness. The SBS basketball program is about living out the gospel, fostering a basketball family culture that is Christ-centered and being intentional to observe and develop leadership qualities in all coaches and players. Basketball is available to male and female athletes in grades 7-12.

Coaches
Coach Land's basketball journey began at St. Edwards University in Austin, where he distinguished himself as a standout point guard. His prowess on the court led him overseas, where he played professionally for six years, gaining invaluable international experience and a broader perspective on the game. Returning to the United States, Taylor embarked on a coaching career that included significant contributions at UTRGV, St. Francis, and Incarnate Word, culminating in a pivotal role that helped lead Longwood University to the 2024 NCAA Tournament. In the fall of 2024, Coach Land's passion for having a formative impact on young athletes led him to join the coaching staff at Second Baptist School.
