Beyond the Buckets | Episode #178 | Sara Giles & Ali Cooper

Twin sisters Sara Giles and Ali Cooper are making their mark on the game from two unique but deeply connected lanes.

Sara is the head coach of the Los Gatos High School girls varsity basketball team, known for building a competitive, character-driven program that empowers young women on and off the court. Ali brings a different whistle to the game — as a respected high school and college basketball official, she brings fairness, professionalism, and deep game knowledge to every contest she calls.

Together, they offer rare dual insight into the world of hoops — one from the sidelines and the other from center court. Beyond basketball, they’re passionate leaders, role models, and advocates for growth, resilience, and representation in sports.

Whether mentoring the next generation or sharing stories behind the scenes, Sara and Ali are proof that sisterhood and service can powerfully shape the game — and the lives within it.
