He plays a key role in fostering the Gentleman Warrior culture that Silver
Creek basketball is known for.
As a player, Todd Goad was a member of Coach Banning’s first varsity team at

ultimately produced a state championship. Today, he carries forward that
same standard, teaching life lessons through basketball while preparing

outdoors with their Bernese Mountain Dog, Rosie, and her smaller sidekick,
Ollie the Chihuahua.

strong character and accountability in players — both for themselves and
their teammates through hard work and dedication.

program at Niwot High School when Coach Banning first came on board and
was an all-conference baseball player.
