EP 75 - Hassan Nizam, Head Coach, Macomb Community College

Tell Me Your Story Coach

Coach Hassan Nizam,
In this episode, you’ll hear from Coach Hassan Nizam. This 27-year-old coach is simply known by his players and so many in the Michigan basketball scene as Coach Niz. Coach Niz is currently the Head Coach at Macomb Community College. And, Coach Niz is fresh off leading his program, for the first time in the program’s history, to a MCCAA State Championship. As you soon are going to find out, the Energy and Commitment that his Young Coach BRINGS DAILY to the Macomb program is simply off the charts. A product of Dearborn Fordson High School, Coach Niz has been coaching since he was 17. Actually, he knew that he wanted to be a coach when he was in the 5th grade. In 2016-2017, Coach Niz went from the JV Coach at his alma mater to become an assistant for then Coach Taylor Langley at University of Michigan-Dearborn. Coach Langley is currently the head coach at Graceland University. And at the age of 22, Coach Niz was named the Head Coach at Roseville High School. At Roseville, Coach Niz was the youngest head basketball coach in the state of Michigan. During his four years as a High School Coach, Coach Niz guided the program to three district titles and the school’s first regional championship while winning close to 60 games. Coach Niz also has coached at the AAU Level with The Family and the Michigan Warriors. Right away you are going to hear that Coach Niz talks about getting the MOST out of people. Throughout the entire conversation, Coach Niz speaks so passionately about helping his players grow on and off the court. Specifically, the level of skill work that they do with their players is tremendous and a must-listen for younger coaches. To me, there is nothing better than having a conversation with a young coach who is coaching for the right reasons. And, Coach Niz is going to INSPIRE a ton of young coaches today via this conversation. I know at 47 years of age, he inspires me!
