Irwin Hudson

Chief Executive Officer/Training Director/Head Coach
Originally from Starkville, *20 years in ORLANDO, FL.

After career ending surgery on my leg, during my freshmen year of college, I went on to achieve a bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering from Mississippi State University in 1991. I'm currently working on my PhD in Modeling & Simulation at the University of Central Florida.

I have been making kids better basketball players for the past 22 years in Orlando, the state of Florida and all around the World (including Brazil, Greece, Russia, France and Canada).

I founded OrlandoHoops on the principles of hard-work, dedication and a willingness to do whatever it takes to improve basketball skill and talent at every level. Whether it's coaching, counseling, teaching or leading a training session, my passion and knowledge shines through whenever I'm on or off the court.

Basketball is my life, Because to me, Life Is Basketball!

If you can remember these two things, everything will be just fine:

1. Hard-work beats talent, when talent doesn't work hard... so just imagine what happens when talent works as hard as it can... Success Baby! Success!

2. Have Fun and Get Better - that's what Life and Basketball is all about!
