Scott Reeves has done a lot of amazing things during his 18 years as a basketball coach.  Winning provincial high school championships, directing provincial and regional teams and of course, coaching at the CIS level come to mind immediately. Now, the long time coach of the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack women’s program can add another accomplishment to his resume: member of a National team program. Reeves has been named as a Performance Analyst for the National Junior Women’s program for this summer.  The team begins training camp in Oshawa, Ontario on Friday (June 28).
