"I look forward to representing the Big 12 in NYC," said Boynton, a Brooklyn native. "It's an incredible opportunity for our conference to pour into a community with such a rich basketball tradition. I'm honored to be selected and can't wait to see the type of impact we can have on the youth of my home city."
In addition to Boynton, participating men's coaches include Scott Drew (Baylor), Mark Pope (BYU), Wes Miller (Cincinnati), Jerome Tang (Kansas State), Mike Boynton (Oklahoma State) and Jamie Dixon (TCU). Women's basketball coaches participating include Amber Whiting (BYU), Katrina Merriweather (Cincinnati), Ron Hughey (Houston), Jeff Mittie (Kansas State) and Krista Gerlich (Texas Tech).

Following drills and clinic sessions, coaches will participate in a Q&A with participating youth. Big 12 Hoops in the Park will also feature live DJs, food trucks, and more.
