Tyrone Vertner, Jr.
With a sharp mind for strategy and a true love for the game, Coach T brings passion, commitment, and a deep understanding of basketball to the Bloomington Warriors.
A lifelong student of the sport, Tyrone has spent years analyzing the game—studying offensive systems, reading defensive setups, and developing a coaching style built on fundamentals, discipline, and basketball IQ.
Stepping into his second year as a travel basketball head coach, Tyrone has already earned the trust of the families who’ve joined the Bloomington Warriors program—families who see firsthand his dedication, leadership, and ability to break the game down in a way that develops both skill and character.
He’s previously coached youth recreational teams and now steps into his most exciting chapter yet... building competitive teams that play with heart, hustle, and purpose.
Coach Tyrone believes that winning is more than a scoreboard—it's about developing leaders, pushing past limits, and creating a team bond that lasts far beyond the court.
