Playing Career
Coach Levan “Shizz” Alston has had an extremely accomplished basketball career, both on the court as a player and as a coach and mentor. Coach Shizz was a 6’4″ point guard whose skill and athletic play led to him being the Inter-Ac Player of the Year in high school, as well as the Pennsylvania State Gatorade Player of the Year. As a four-star recruit coming out of high school, he committed to Temple University in 2015, where he would have a very successful career, ending up in the top 15 all-time in scoring for Temple. In his senior year at Temple, Coach Shizz averaged an impressive 19.7 points per game and 5 assists per game. His accomplishments at Temple led to his being signed to the Indiana Pacers G-League team and the Philadelphia 76ers practice squad. Coach Shizz also played professionally overseas in Greece, Belgium, and Japan.
Coaching and Basketball Involvement
Coach Shizz’s involvement with basketball didn’t stop there. He has run his own basketball camp for the past two years, imparting valuable lessons learned from playing high-level basketball for so many years. Coach Shizz has also coached at his former Temple coach’s basketball camp, Fran Dunphy Basketball Camp. Additionally, Coach Shizz has made it a priority to give back to his community by helping to foster the next generation of basketball players. He sponsored the nonprofit basketball camp Hood Enriched, which helps kids from first grade to middle school improve their basketball skills. He bought the campers all new equipment and helped coach workouts and games.
