In Episode 89 of South Bay Sports Radio, Nick sits down with Gardena Serra boys basketball coach De’Jon Frazier ahead of the Cavaliers’ CIF Southern Section Division 5 championship game. Recorded just days before Serra would go on to capture the title, this conversation offers a powerful look at the mindset, preparation, and leadership behind one of the South Bay’s most impressive program turnarounds.

Coach Frazier reflects on taking over a program that had struggled in recent seasons and building a culture centered on accountability, resilience, and belief. From developing trust with players to navigating the pressure of playoff basketball, he shares how small daily habits and mental toughness can transform a team.

The discussion also dives into the importance of mentorship in coaching, lessons learned throughout Frazier’s career, and how preparation and mindset become the difference-makers in championship moments.

If you want insight into what it takes to build a winning culture in high school basketball, this episode delivers valuable perspective from a coach who helped guide Serra to the brink of a championship — just before the Cavaliers finished the job.
