Shaun Jayachandran is the CEO of the non-profit Crossover Basketball and Scholars Academy. It works towards changing the pathway of low-income, marginalized students in India, by engaging educators and schools, to participate in a program using basketball to teach leadership, gender equity, and critical thinking.

Shaun's coaching career has taken him through both the John Wooden (Bill Sweek, UCLA) and lefty Driesell coaching trees as well as having worked and learned from Morgan Wootten,, Joey Wootten, Bob Hurley Sr. and Tommy Amaker. Every program Shaun has been affiliated with has shown new ways of teaching the game—and a love for that game—to student athletes. Shaun consistently puts himself in a position to improve his ability to teach the game.
