Jim Couch Super 16 National Freshman Game

The Jim Couch Foundation hosted the first annual Super 16 National Freshman Game at Baruch College in New York City on October 23rd, 2011.

The Super 16 National Freshman Game celebrated Jim Couch's career; Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's first coach. This showcase is in honor of Couch's work in the New York City community as a leader and innovator of basketball training and mentorship. This event is an evolution: its genesis comes from the 2007 launched Jim Couch Reunion Games that featured the NBA's Kemba Walker and Tobias Harris as headliners; the 2008 Girls High School game featuring the best of Westchester vs. the best of NYC metro; the 2009 expansion that included regional teams from Boston, Connecticut, Albany, and New Jersey; and the 2010 Freshman Game that featured the top 9th graders from the New York Metro region vs. Long Island's top entering freshman.
