He is the Founder and Director of Save Sports Elite, a Durham-based travel program recognized across the Southeast for developing high-character student-athletes, creating college exposure, and fostering leadership on and off the court.

Coach Dorsette’s coaching philosophy emphasizes mental toughness, fundamental development, academic success, and community impact. He is committed to using basketball as a vehicle for growth and opportunity, especially within underserved communities.

He holds both a Bachelor of Science in Recreation Administration and a Master of Science in Sports Management from North Carolina Central University.

Coach Dorsette resides in Durham with his two sons, Joshua II and Josiah.

Welcome to JCC, Coach Dorsette!
