Thomas C. Konchalski was a legendary high school basketball scout who spent more than 40 years shaping the futures of student-athletes across the country—armed only with a legal pad, unmatched observational skill, and a heart devoted to service.

He attended thousands of games in school gyms, never drove a car, never accepted a salary, and refused to profit from his work. He lived simply, acted selflessly, and remained unwavering in his commitment to evaluating not just talent—but character.

He believed in doing things the right way—with humility, integrity, and a servant’s heart. He never chased fame. He never compromised his values. And yet, his quiet influence stretched across generations of athletes, families, and coaches.

At HighSchoolBasketballPortal.com, we proudly carry his torch.

We’ve committed 3% of every membership fee to the Thomas C. Konchalski Foundation, which continues his mission to support young athletes both on and off the court—with guidance, opportunity, and enduring values.

We also encourage all members—athletes, parents, and coaches—to embrace the Konchalski Standard:

Play hard. Stay humble. Lift others.
