Former Sir Francis Drake High School basketball star Eddie Joe Chavez teaches basketball clinics through out Marin County, California. This clinic is a major ripoff. What you get is the Chavez family, Bucky Chavez, Neal Chavez, and Eddie Joe Chavez, three individuals with enormous egos who spend most the time trying to convince people they're basketball royalty. Then long time unemployed Bucky, who lives with his mother in law, calls you trying to CONvince you that your kid has potential to be a pro and they try to get you to fork over more money for private lessons.
Eddie Joe was a high school star, he did well in college, and he was the 113th draft pick by Houston, but he never played. He went on to play in a semi pro league in the Phillipines. Who cares? Bucky never did well beyond high school, and Neal deserted his Junior Varsity team at Drake High because the Chavez family created alot of trouble for the head coach. The Chavez family believe they're all stars. Eddie Joe was an asst coach at Drake, but his enormous ego couldn't handle the fact that the head coaching job went to someone else. Neal, Bucky, and Eddie Joe, were never successful coaches. Eddie Joe would sit on the sidelines and complain about the head coach. Eddie Joe called all of us parents complaining about the head coach.
Eddie Joe was fired, so Bucky had Neal quit the JV team. The Chavez family let down the team and the school. The only thing you'll learn from the Chavez basketball clinics is how to be a bad sport, "If you don't get your way, quit the team". And they will try and convince you to spend more money on private lessons. The lessons you already pay for, alot of the time is spent on the Chavez family telling boring stories about their careers. The kids pay to learn, not to listen to BS stories by a family who think they're basketball stars. Parents were thrilled when Neal quit because we no longer had to deal with these people and their enormous egos. Eddie Joe, the most successfull of the three, thinks he's a professional basketball star. He's not.
