David Keith

This week on Saddle Up, we sit down with longtime RGV basketball coach David Keith, a program builder who has helped shape winning culture across the Valley, including stops with the Sharyland Rattlers and Edinburg-area high school basketball.Coach Keith breaks down what most fans never see: the daily standards, the accountability, and the player development that turns a roster into a team. We talk about how RGV basketball has evolved, what it takes to sustain success year after year, and why leadership matters more than plays when the season gets hard. He also shares real stories from the grind, the relationships that define a career, and what he believes the next generation of Valley athletes needs to hear.If you love Texas high school basketball, coaching, or the behind-the-scenes work that builds a real program, this episode is for you.
