Coaching Resume

Sullivan Phillips has contributed to guiding Washington Adventist University to 2 conference championships and 3 national tournament births.

Mastery of basic skills—like dribbling, passing, shooting, footwork, and defensive positioning—allows players to execute more complex strategies under pressure and adapt to different game situations.

Teamwork builds trust, improves communication, and ensures that players understand their roles, leading to better ball movement, defensive coverage, and overall efficiency on the court.

Accountability creates a culture of responsibility, discipline, and high standards—key ingredients for team success. When players are held accountable for their effort, decisions, and behavior, they become more committed, coachable, and dependable.

Your camp has taught me so much...things like teamwork hard work and friendship. Not only have I enhanced my basketball skills, it has helped me grow as a person. Coach Sulli has pushed me every year that I've been a part of camp. That's why his camp is different. You can feel yourself improve no matter where your skill was at when you first walked into the gym.
