View TJ's Bio ⟩

Gray helped guide the Illinois Tech men’s basketball program into full NCAA Division III membership in 2018-19. The Chicago native mentored four All-NACC members, two NACC Defensive Player of the Year honorees, five All-Association of Division III Independents selections, and one D3Hoops.com All-Central Region pick throughout his tenure as assistant coach. The Scarlet Hawks accumulated a 47-34 record under Gray’s assistance, which included a trip to the 2018-19 NACC Men’s Basketball Tournament Championship Game.

Gray arrived to Illinois Tech following a tour of duty at Walter Payton College Prep, where he served as assistant varsity boy’s basketball coach for two seasons. During his time at Walter Payton College Prep, Gray simultaneously held the head coaching post with Made Men AAU Basketball.

Gray jumped into the coaching ranks at NCAA Division I Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. He spent four seasons with the Cougars men’s basketball program as director of operations. Film exchange, on-campus visit coordination, team travel, academic progress and camp/clinic management fell under Gray’s watch at Southern Illinois Edwardsville.

Gray’s collegiate playing career included stops at Western Illinois University (2003-2005), University of Illinois at Chicago (2005-07) and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (2007-08). He earned a spot on the All-Great Lakes Valley Conference Men’s Basketball Second Team in his final season at SIUE.

Gray obtained his bachelor of arts degree in business management from University of Illinois at Chicago in 2007. He went on to earn a master of science degree in kinesiology from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in 2010.
Staff Pro Level Training

Pro Level Training’s concept is very simple: cover all grounds with everyone that we work with. In addition to skills training, we place major emphasis on the strength, conditioning and performance sides of the game.
View Pro Level Training's Bio ⟩

The idea of Pro Level Training was conceived from Founder Joel Green’s desire to bring the “Pro” style of training and preparation to youth athletes. He saw that there was a need for athletes to learn how to properly prepare their minds and bodies for the game of basketball.
Our goal is to improve the quality of individual on court performance by providing clients with the physical & mental tools needed to get to the next level of their career. We enjoy both training and educating players to get the most out of each session.

August 3, 2022: TJ Gray was extremely energetic and awesome. My son transitioned from Ice Hockey to Basketball. He needed to see and experience something different. He told me these were the best coaches he had all summer and he went to 5 basketball camps. HE SAID NIKE ROCKED!
