Coach Dwight Thorne II shares his journey from growing up in Texas to having a stellar career at Colorado, playing professionally - and now as a college basketball coach.

He was a standout at Colorado under Ricardo Patton and Jeff Bzdelik before embarking on a professional basketball playing career in Germany, the NBA Development League, Athens, and then Croatia.

Brian Gregory hired him as a Graduate Assistant at Georgia Tech and after the season he decided to move on to the University of Denver to serve on Rodney Billups coaching staff as their Director of Basketball Operations - and later as an Assistant Coach.

This past summer he returned to his home state of Texas to serve as an Assistant Coach at UT Arlington under Greg Young.
