KIRKLAND, Wash. -- Seattle Pacific men's basketball coach Ryan Looney will be taking part in the third annual Northwest University Spring Coaches Clinic on Saturday, April 24 at the school's Kirkland campus.

Coach Looney's presentation is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. in the NU Pavilion.

Saturday's clinic opens in the Pavilion at 9 a.m. with on-court demonstrations by the coaches and then finishes up in the HSC after a lunch in the NU dining hall, The Caf.

Other coaches and speakers taking part in the clinic are: John Van Dyke (Head Men's Coach, Northwest University), Bruce Brown (Proactive Coaching), Maco Hamilton (Head Boy's Basketball Coach, Union High School) and Francis Williams (Fox Sports Northwest).
