Why Viglianco Hoops
Thomas Viglianco played 9 seasons of professional basketball across Italy, France, Denmark, Iceland, and Ireland.
His training goes beyond mechanics — focusing on the mental side of the game that separates good players from great ones.
From shooting form to reading defenses, Thomas brings a perspective no other trainer in Nebraska can offer.

What Coaches & Players Say
Richard Hendrix
Golden State Warriors / University of Alabama
“I have known Thomas as a friend and competitor on the basketball court for many years. Not only does Thomas have tremendous skill, but he has a wealth of knowledge and a passion for the game.”
“I played professionally with Thomas in the top league in Italy. Thomas pays close attention to details and takes pride in getting better on and off the court. Having your son or daughter work with him will help them obtain their goals on and off the court.”
Mike Nardi
Villanova University — Currently Asst. Coach
“He wants you to be successful and just happy in all areas. He works with good people and he encourages the best out of the people that he is around. It is not just basketball with Thomas.”
Morgan Maly
Creighton — 1,500-point career scorer
“I could not recommend a better person and friend to mold our youth to become better people both on and off the basketball floor. He has always been a professional and knows the game of basketball and more importantly knows how to teach the game of life.”
BJ McKie
All-time leading scorer at South Carolina / Pro 10 years
“He has been through a lot in life and he is at the point now where he can teach a lot about not only basketball but life. He has played a huge role, arguably the biggest role in my basketball career.”
Sam Griesel
Telekom Baskets Bonn — Bundesliga (formerly Nebraska)
“I have known Thomas Viglianco since 2000 when I was recruiting him for college. He is one of my favorite players over the many years of coaching because of his passion for the game and talent. Not only is he a great player but a great person and friend.”
Pat Skerry
Head Coach — Towson University
“Thomas has continued on his success from our great college battles. I knew he would be a great trainer and motivator for kids and college bound athletes because of his great shooting abilities. It is great to see Thomas helping out the youth.”
