SAN ANTONIO -- A good basketball coach is part counselor, part drill sergeant, and part motivational speaker.

When it comes to coaching girls, experts say the most successful coaches know how to communicate both praise and criticism in a one on one way that teaches and inspires. We asked you to tell us who is the best girls basketball coach in San Antonio and your top four nominees were:


Coach Jesse Arguello (#HolyCross)
Holy Cross High School

Coach Andrea Camacho (#Wagner)
Wagner High School

Coach Mike Floyd (#JohnJay)
John Jay High School

Okay, now it's the boys' turn.

As with any coaching job, a good boys basketball coach has to throw in some counseling, some drill sergeant techniques, and some motivational speeches. But studies show guys prefer external motivators, like winning and accolades, and tend to place the knowledge and skills of a coach at the top of their 'more important' list.

From lay ups and footwork to trust and teamwork and WINNING, it's up to the coach to show the players how it's done. We want you to tell us who you think is the best boys basketball coach in San Antonio.

Send your nomination to BestOfSA@woaitv.com. We'll reveal the final four on Friday, and the voting will begin.
