Coach Hanson grew up in Littleton, played basketball at Arapahoe High School and then at Bethel University. He began his coaching career at ThunderRidge High School with the boys program in a variety of positions. Over the course of 13 years at ThunderRidge he was fortunate enough to be involved in winning 2 State Championships and 4 Runner-Ups. Hanson then moved to Heritage High School and helped out for 2 years with the boys’ basketball program. More recently, Coach Hanson has been coaching his daughters for the past 5 years in the Heritage Girls feeder program.
Hanson hopes to bring energy and positivity to the program with a focus on defensive intensity, playing together and taking care of the details on and off the court. He looks forward to building a strong feeder program and lower level teams that produce winning habits at the Varsity level. Hanson envisions his teams will build strong relationships through competing and growing together.
