More Than Wins: Coach Heath Cullom on Culture, Coaching His Daughters, and the Heart of Sardis Basketball
What does success really look like in high school basketball?
In this powerful episode of Beyond the Blitz, we sit down with Coach Heath Cullom, head coach of the Sardis High School girls varsity basketball team, to talk about far more than wins and losses.
Beyond The Blitz Sardis Ladies …
Born and raised in Sardis, Coach Cullom has spent more than 21 years coaching, building a program rooted in culture, accountability, faith, and relationships. From county championships and area titles to unforgettable playoff runs and heartbreaking sub-regional exits, his journey reveals what it truly takes to sustain excellence.
Throughout this game-flow interview — structured by quarters, halftime, and overtime — Coach Cullom opens up about:
🏀 Building a winning culture beyond the scoreboard
🏀 Lessons learned from a 26–7 season and tough postseason losses
🏀 Why scheduling hard games matters more than protecting records
🏀 Developing athletes from middle school to varsity
🏀 Coaching elite talent while keeping the locker room grounded
🏀 The mentors who shaped him — and the advice that still guides him
🏀 Why relationships matter more than banners on the wall
And in a deeply personal overtime segment, Coach Cullom shares what it’s really like to coach his own daughters — navigating the tension between being “Dad” and being “Coach,” the moments that still haunt him, and the memories he’ll carry forever.
This episode isn’t just about basketball.
It’s about leadership, legacy, family, and why the game never truly ends when the buzzer sounds.
Whether you’re a coach, parent, athlete, or fan of high school sports, this is a conversation that will stick with you.
