“Shot correction and muscle memory change is one of the hardest things to do in all of basketball. Not only is it extremely difficult on you physically, it can be extremely frustrating mentally as well. Having a mentor through the process is very important, and is what helped me get through the shooting struggles I had as a basketball player. I believe this new product will be an awesome opportunity for any basketball player/ parent serious about improving their game. CTG, along with me personally, have helped the majority of our 250 kid student list in making muscle memory changes. Ask our previous students and parents how it turned out… it gave the kids a hole new world of opportunities. Shooting is truly the most important skill in basketball.” – Coach Jack

I hope to pass along any knowledge and wisdom I’ve gained through my years onto my students.
I am pursuing a degree in communications, and Close the Gate is the perfect opportunity to gain experience for this. Close the Gate has certainly changed my life, and I believe anyone that comes in contact with it will be changed for the better as well.”

“The number one principle a CTG preaches to its students includes two key factors. First, CTG students must learn to understand that performances do not define us. It’s not about what we do or accomplish in life, it’s about who we become through the process. What we achieve, has no correlation to our self-worth. We are not any better, or any less of a person depending on what we can or not do. Understanding this opens an infinite number of opportunities and fulfillment throughout your life and basketball game. Secondly, CTG students must learn to view failure from a different lens. We need struggle and suffering to grow. Most of us are conditioned growing up that failure is something we should avoid. If you genuinely want to achieve whatever your dreams are in life, wanting, craving, and chasing failure is how you are going to get there. When we fail, our brain adapts and learns whatever we cannot do. If we fail more, we learn more. Good decisions come from experience… and experience comes from bad decisions.”
Jack played varsity basketball in high school for Janesville Craig, finishing 3rd in the conference in scoring his senior year. For his freshman year of college, he played in the WIAC conference for UW River Falls. Jack is finishing his basketball career at the University of Wisconsin Platteville, also in the WIAC conference.

“Coach Jack has been one of my best friends since a young age. Working on the business side of Close The Gate is interesting, I do everything behind the scenes that most wouldn’t think or see.
My experience with CTG has been extremely eye-opening from a training and coaching perspective as well. You think you know how you’re supposed to coach and train, and then you watch how CTG explains the game to kids. Close The Gate is something that would’ve changed the outlook of my sports and personal life if I was exposed to it at a young age. Developing not only basketball skills but life skills as well is so beneficial to young kids.
That is where CTG stands apart from the rest. Coach Jack will do everything in his power to get his students to his goals, but he wants to make them better people over everything.”

Pat Miller was named head coach of the Warhawks prior to the 2001-02 season. He enters his 20th year at the helm of the program in 2020-21.
Entering the 2018-19 season, Miller ranked fourth all-time in winning percentage among coaches with a minimum of 10 seasons coaching at the NCAA D-III level and fifth among active Division III coaches.
A four-time Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Coach of the Year, Miller has led the Warhawks to two NCAA Division III national championships.
In 2011-12, UW-Whitewater won its first national title since 1989, when Miller was a co-captain and the Warhawks’ third-leading scorer. The 2011-12 team finished 29-4 overall and 13-3 in the WIAC, winning its NCAA Tournament games by an average margin of over 14 points per contest.
Two years later, in 2013-14, UW-Whitewater won the championship with overall and conference records identical to those in 2011-12. The Warhawks were dominant through their first five games of the NCAA Tournament before defeating Williams (Mass.) in a thrilling national title game, 75-73. Quardell Young’s lay-up and free throw with one second remaining was the deciding play of the contest.
Overall, Miller has led the Warhawks to six WIAC regular season championships, four league tournament titles and nine NCAA Tournament appearances. His winning percentage through the 2018-19 season (.758) ranks first all time at UW-Whitewater and fourth all time in WIAC history for coaches with 10 or more years of experience at a conference school behind only Bo Ryan, Ken Anderson and Bob Semling. Miller has the most wins of any current head coach and is fourth in the conference’s history. He achieved his 100th win during the 2005-06 season and was the second-fastest coach in WIAC history to do so.
