"We highly recommend Duncan Hoops, a group of coaches, trainers, and mentors that our son has been fortunate to learn from this past year. Each one of them genuinely cares, not only about your child’s progress and development as an athlete, but as their own individual as well. They instill in their players a focused work ethic, a humble confidence, a team player mentality, a real understanding of the game, and a true passion for basketball. Recently, our son was injured. We are so grateful for their support, their intentional desire to help him and adapt trainings, and their ability to incorporate him within the team dynamic. This staff teaches and challenges athletes to be leaders on the court, and in life, by the examples they set!"
"It's hard to convey how much we love Duncan hoops. Our son went from a total beginner with no ability or confidence to a much stronger player who loves the game. I have never seen our son so focused and engaged with anything ever. The coaches are amazing. Each one. So good with kids of all skill levels. Truly, Duncan hoops is life changing for us."
“Ernie is one of the all-time great players at UVM. A very skilled and smart player. He was also was one of the best people to come through our program. He has a lot to offer aspiring basketball players. I highly recommend Ernie to help your child to become the best player and person they can be.”

- John Becker / Head Coach at the University of Vermont
"Ernie has been an incredible mentor and coach to my son for almost two years. He has a remarkable way of stretching him to his potential while also tending to his emotional and mental needs as an athlete and human. Knowing that Ernie is pulling from his own experiences as an AAU player, high school competitor and College athlete is such a gift!"
“I had the privilege to coach Ernie for four years and watch his growth as a basketball player and a person. Now he’s giving back to the same community that embraced him for four years up there in Burlington. He will be one of the best trainers in the business.“

- Hamlet Tibbs / Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach at the University of Buffalo
"Ernie has been the ultimate coach for both of our boys. Our older high school age son has transformed his shot form due to the skilled coaching from Ernie and our younger son has benefitted from having Ernie as his AAU Coach and Trainer. We continue to be impressed month after month with not only his level of training, but also his ability to connect with our boys on a human level. His level of professionalism and integrity is refreshing."
“In the years I’ve known Ernie, it would be really hard for me to name someone who works harder than him, or cares more about getting better than he does. His workouts are not easy, he demands a lot, but it’s easy to work hard for him because he’s working just as hard as you. I’ve been lucky enough to work with a lot of different people in my career and I can say that Ernie’s energy, enthusiasm, and attention to detail are not the norm. Every time I come back to Vermont to train, I get better with him.“
