80.6 Miles to UD Arena with Celina Head Coach Mike Piatt
On Season 2, Episode 26 of Sports Surge, Brent Selhorst and Kyle Heyne welcome new Celina Boys Basketball Head Coach Mike Piatt live from the Coldwater Eagles. An Ohio Basketball Hall of Famer with an NCAA Division III National Championship at Ohio Wesleyan and a proven record of transforming programs—most recently leading Miami University Hamilton to national prominence—Coach Piatt brings deep hoops expertise back to Grand Lake country.
Coach Piatt outlines his roadmap for revitalizing Celina's basketball legacy, backed by 17 WBL titles. He introduces the program’s core philosophy—Trust, Commitment, and Care (TCC)—and details the team's driving metric: "80.6," representing the precise mileage from the Celina Fieldhouse to UD Arena for the state tournament.
The discussion dives into his tactical blueprints: a relentless man-to-man defense, a Princeton-style offense focused on high-quality looks, and the offseason "25,000 Shot Club". Coach Piatt details expanding the youth pipeline through the Bull Pups program at the Shipyard with Doug Hughes, toughening up non-conference scheduling against top-tier regional competition, and bridging generations with an upcoming Basketball Alumni Night on December 19th. Topped off with praise for the undefeated Bulldog football squad and why Larry Bird is his all-time favorite pure shooter, this episode is a must-listen for local sports fans.
