Boys2Men Coaching Staff

Those That Stay Will Be Successful

Director/Coach Abdurrahman Kareem

Asst Director - Greg Logan

Head Coach - Kareem

Coach Kareem created the Boys2Men organization in 2016. After coaching under numerous other AAU programs, Coach Kareem felt it was time to utilize his skills, knowledge and experience to head up a program that would be tailor fit to his desires. As both a Director and Coach with the organization Coach Kareem can both implement programs on the Director level while also be hands on with the mentoring and development of players and their skillsets. Coach Kareem is a personable character, easy to laugh and even easier to smile, he has a heart of gold and his dedication to the game is only outdone by his loyalty to his players. Do not be mistaken though, He demands 110% of every players effort, their full attention and he refuses to allow them to cheat themselves of any opportunity both on and off the court. Coach Kareem is a student of the game, a master tactician, while the young men are working hard on the court, Coach Kareem is working hard everywhere else to give his guys the best opportunity and experience possible. There could be no safer hands with regards to an AAU basketball coach. 

Coach Jeff St. Simon

Head Coach

Coach St. Simon, new to Boys2Men but not new to the coaching ranks, is a seasoned varsity high school coach with a wealth of knowledge and coaching experience. Jeff, the current Head Coach at Kew Forest located in Queens, NY - in his short time with the program has displayed an uncanny knack for connecting with the kids and getting them to buy into his system of play. Coach St. Simon has a well balanced personality offering a stern voice with an easy ear seems to strike a perfect tone to the youth of this era. Coach Jeff, as his players call, has a fast paced loose style of play matching the athletes of today, it requires 100% effort with a heavy dose of grit. Coach Jeff teaches and excercises  his attention to detail both on the practice floor and while reviewing video. We at the Boys2MEN program expect big things from Coach Jeff and we are delighted to have him along with us guiding these children through both their on and off court life. 

Coach Preston Powell

Head Coach

Coach Preston Powell a new coach to the program is going to be a force to be reckoned with. A four year college basketball player who has seemlessly translated his ability to get in done on the court into masterfully getting it done as a coach. Coach Powell also trains basketball players during his offseason, his dedication to the game of basketball is undeniable. Regarded as the cool and collected coach, Coach Powells style of coaching is a  perfect balance of nurturing a players confidence while also demanding nothing short of excellence. Coach Powell is new to the head coach's position but has been sharpening his coaching iron as an assistant coach to some of the brightest stars in the game.  An invaluable asset to the program, Coach Powell will be a beacon of light within the  B2M program.

Coach Ron White

Head Coach

Coach Ron White, a four year college basketball player after a stellar high school career in football, basketball and track is not only a head coach for our Boys2Men program he is also the head coach for the standing Long Island Champion and Southeast  sub regional champion Bridgehampton Killer Bees. While this is Coach Whites first year with the Boys2men Program, his 11 plus years of coaching has more than prepared him for the opportunity that has been presented to him. I believe his players would agree 150%  that Coach White is a players coach, He gives everything he has to give his teams the best chance to be successful - both on and off the court. Coach White is about evolution, a student of the game he is constantly reviewing and studying, searching for new methods of play. Coach Whites continual thirst to advance his understanding of the game of basketball may be on the only thing to rival for his desire to compete and win. No easy roads, no round about ways - strictly hard work and dedication the only way Coach Ron knows and the only way Boys2men would have it.
