Meet Our Coach

Head Coach & Founder: Joe Calamore

Coach Joe Calamore, originally from Riverside, California, has had quite the journey within the world of basketball. Beginning his career as a basketball scout and sports writer at age 17, he honed his eye for talent and developed a deep understanding of the game.


At 19, Joe’s life took a challenging turn when he was diagnosed with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder. Left without the ability to walk due to paralysis, this diagnosis was a profound moment for him. Instead of giving up hope, Joe fought back with determination and dedication in order to one day walk and play basketball again. Through his perseverance, he not only recovered but found renewed purpose within the sport. 


Inspired by his journey of overcoming adversity, Joe embarked on a mission to instill in young athletes not only the fundamentals of basketball but also the importance of perseverance and cherishing every moment on the court. Transitioning into coaching, Joe has amassed five years of experience spanning from grassroots levels to helping run camps around the country and training collegiate athletes. His coaching philosophy, partially credited to the tv show character Ted Lasso, goes beyond the Xs and Os, emphasizing the values of resilience, teamwork, and passion for the game. Joe’s uptempo style of play, inspired by the famous “07 Seconds or Less” Phoenix Suns of the 2000s and “Showtime” Los Angeles Lakers of the 1980s, promotes team success as well as allows individual players the ability to have fun and play freely on the court.


As the head basketball coach of the Austin Blazers, Joe Calamore brings a unique blend of experience, empathy, energy, and a profound love for the sport, shaping not just athletes, but future leaders on and off the court.

“I founded the Austin Blazers to empower players, providing them with a platform to shine a light on their individual talents and thrive within a supportive team environment.”
