Welcome to BasketballOwl.com, your ultimate basketball resource!

Founder’s Story

Hey friends, my name is Jeff Carroll, and I am the founder of BasketballOwl.com. As a young kid, I played basketball with my dad on our driveway court. 

Those memorable experiences ignited my passion for the game, and 20 years later, I was honored to coach my school’s basketball team.

My journalism background and love for basketball led me to create this blog to share my knowledge and enthusiasm for the sport. 

At BasketballOwl.com, you’ll find a wide range of content, including instructional write-ups, gear-purchasing guides, and informational articles on various aspects of basketball.

Our Mission

At Basketball Owl, we strive to empower basketball enthusiasts of all levels to improve their skills, knowledge, and passion for the game. We strive to provide the highest quality content, resources, and products so you can take your game to new heights without stress or confusion.

What Sets Us Apart

We pride ourselves on being different from other basketball websites, and here’s how:

Our team is dedicated to delivering high-quality content and ensuring our visitors receive the best possible basketball resources.

My Sentiments Behind Basketball Owl

When I was in college, I studied journalism with the hope of becoming a sportswriter. After graduating, I got my first job as a reporter for a small-town newspaper.

Soon I realized that writing about high school sports wasn’t what I wanted to do with my life. So, I moved on to bigger and better things. But my love for basketball never faded. 

In fact, it grew stronger. And that’s why I decided to start my own basketball blog.

I started to consult basketball experts to create a different and authentic learning platform. 

Moreover, I aim to provide an in-depth look at the game I love. And will cover everything from the NBA to college basketball to high school hoops. 

Then you’ll find my unique voice and perspective behind each phrase.
