Kip Ioane just completed his second season as the Head Boys’ Basketball Coach at South Salem (OR) High School where he has led the Saxons to a 34-19 record . Ioane previously served as the head coach of the men’s basketball team at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon for 14 seasons and as an assistant for 8 seasons.
Ioane also attended Willamette as a student-athlete and played for the Bearcats from 1997-98 through 2000-01. He was a two-year captain who earned a total of four letters while playing at Willamette.
Ioane's Teams Of Men Character Development program has garnered national recognition for its work in developing a healthy version of manhood with teams, coaches, and players around the country.
On this episode Mike and Kip discuss the transformative impact of the "Teams of Men" program on high school basketball coaching and player development. We explore how the integration of emotional fluency, vulnerability, and authentic relationships fosters a culture of trust among players, which, in turn, enhances their performance on the court. Kip shares the importance of creating a supportive environment where young men can engage in meaningful conversations about personal growth, thus challenging traditional notions of masculinity in sports. Throughout the discussion, we emphasize that prioritizing character development and emotional intelligence is not merely beneficial but essential for achieving sustained success in both athletics and life. By the episode's conclusion, we aim to inspire coaches to embrace this holistic approach, recognizing that the foundation of winning extends beyond the scoreboard to the cultivation of resilient, well-rounded individuals.

Dr. Daniel Jacobsen is the founder of MindFit, helping coaches and parents build mentally tough athletes through proven sport psychology training. Daniel has spent 8 years working directly with high school, collegiate, and elite athletes not in a lab, not in an office, but on the court, in the locker room, and in the high-pressure moments that define seasons.
On this episode Mike & Daniel discuss the impact of mental training on athletic performance. Jacobsen emphasizes the significance of meditation within teams, citing historical examples from the championship-winning squads of Phil Jackson, who employed meditation to enhance team cohesion and individual self-awareness. Jacobsen outlines the transformative process athletes undergo, not only in their sports but also in their personal lives, as they learn to prioritize their objectives and cultivate a diversified identity beyond athletics. Furthermore, he discusses the keys to achieving flow states in performance, highlighting the essential stages of struggle, release, flow, and recovery.

Diana Cutaia is the founder of Coaching Peace and the author of the new book, "Protect Your Confidence", a year long journal style book in which Diana shares why confidence isn’t something you build It’s something you protect. In the book, readers will rediscover the confidence they’ve always had and protect it from the noise that tries to chip away at it.
Diana's coaching experience includes serving as the head women's basketball coach at Curry College and as assistant women's basketball coach at Mount Holyoke College. She was also the head women's basketball coach at Norwalk Community College where she took the women's basketball program to National Standing in only four years. Her Panthers finished three seasons ranked #1 in the New England Region and among the top eight in the Nation.
Prior to starting Coaching Peace, Diana was the Director of Athletics and Sport-based Initiatives for Wheelock College where her unique approach to sport was featured on the front page of the Boston Globe, NCAA On Campus, and Athletic Management Magazine. Diana also began the first ever academic program in Sport-Based Youth Development at Wheelock College. Over the years, Diana has presented to colleges on topics ranging from diversity and gender equity, sportsmanship and decision making, and Title IX.
On this episode Mike & Diana discuss why confidence is not something to be constructed but rather something to be safeguarded. Diana explains how societal perceptions of athletes often romanticize the idea of unwavering confidence, leading to detrimental effects on their mental well-being. We delve into the importance of recognizing and protecting one's intrinsic confidence amidst external pressures and failures. Coaches will gain insights into practical strategies for fostering a supportive environment that nurtures both individual and communal confidence, ultimately enhancing performance and personal growth in various contexts.

George Michalowski is the President and Co-Founder of The Portal Report which was started 2022 with the goal of creating a media outlet completely focused on the transfer portal recruiting scene. Michalowski has worked directly with more than 150 college basketball staffs in their transfer portal recruiting process. The Portal Report strives to present the most complete and comprehensive coverage of the college basketball transfer portal recruiting world.
On this episode Mike & George discuss the evolving landscape of college basketball recruiting, particularly in the context of the transfer portal. Michalowski shares how the recruitment process has undergone a paradigm shift, with coaches increasingly relying on agents to facilitate connections with potential players, thereby diminishing traditional methods of direct communication with recruits and their families. This shift, as Michalowski asserts, is not merely anecdotal; it reflects a larger trend where coaches are now more frequently engaging with agents rather than directly with players, signaling a significant transformation in how recruitment is approached in the current era.
Additionally, Michalowski shares his personal journey and experiences that led to the inception of the Portal Report. His early forays into basketball journalism and the establishment of a platform that addressed the needs of both players and coaches underscore the necessity for comprehensive coverage and insight in the transfer portal arena. The episode emphasizes the importance of understanding the motivations of players entering the portal and the role that agents play in shaping their decisions, thereby positioning the Portal Report as an invaluable resource for coaches navigating this complex new landscape. As college basketball continues to evolve, the insights offered by Michalowski serve as a critical lens through which the dynamics of recruitment can be understood and navigated.
In a broader context, the episode tackles the implications of NIL deals and their interplay with the transfer portal, raising pertinent questions about the sustainability of this new model in college athletics. Michalowski speaks candidly about the frustrations experienced by coaches as they attempt to adapt to a rapidly changing environment, particularly concerning monetary demands that often exceed the actual market value of players. This ongoing evolution presents both challenges and opportunities, and Michalowski's commentary offers a nuanced perspective on the future of college basketball recruiting, emphasizing the need for adaptability and strategic foresight in an increasingly competitive arena.

Dyami Starks is one of the Midwest’s premier basketball trainers. His approach to training combines professional-level insights with data-driven development strategies. Starks also serves as the player development coach for All Iowa Attack, the director of Starks Elite AAU program, and as an assistant women’s basketball coach at The College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, Minnesota.
Dyami was a Division I standout at Bryant University and enjoyed a professional career that included stops in Australia, Kazakhstan, Turkey and Latvia.
On this episode Mike and Dyami discuss the metaphorical totem pole of recruitment, and how college coaches prioritize retaining their current players and recruiting the transfer portal over pursuing high school talent, thereby reshaping the recruiting dynamic. We look at the misalignment between what players think college coaches value and what the coaches actually value including the following six categories.
- Mental Capacity
- Intangibles (e.g., leadership)
- Skill
- IQ
- Strength & Conditioning
- Instincts
Dyami explains the critical idea that effective leadership on the court does not solely rest on a single individual; rather, it thrives when all players embody leadership qualities, allowing them to elevate one another.. The discussion extends to the significance of athletes understanding their roles within a team framework, fostering mental resilience and adaptability. Ultimately, Dyami advocates for a holistic approach to player development and why players need a deep appreciation for teamwork and leadership.

Colin Doss just completed his first season as the Head Boys’ Basketball Coach and Assistant Athletic Director at Murray High School where he led the Tigers to a 21-8 record and was named the 2026 KABC Region 1 Coach of the Year.
Doss guided the program to a 2026 2A Sectional Championship, Murray High School’s first 2A title in school history and led the largest turnaround by a first-year head coach in the state of Kentucky as the team improved from 9 - 19 in 2024–2025.
Colin previously served as the Head Men's Basketball Coach at John Melvin College in 2024-25 after being hired as the youngest Head Coach in College Basketball at 23 Years Old. At John Melvin, Doss was named the 2025 New South Athletic Conference Coach of the Year and was a USCAA DII National Coach of the Year nominee.
Doss spent two seasons as a Men’s Basketball Assistant Coach for NAIA Brescia University and has coached for PHD Hoops since 2023.
On this episode Mike & Colin discuss the importance of building relationships with players as the foundational element for fostering a competitive spirit and commitment to the game. Without trust and mutual respect, players are unlikely to exert themselves fully on the court. Doss, who has recently achieved remarkable success in his inaugural season, leading the Tigers to a 21-8 record and their first 2A sectional championship, illustrates how nurturing these connections can transform a previously struggling program. His journey from college to high school coaching underscores a commitment to adaptability and personal growth, focusing on the unique challenges inherent in high school athletics. This episode delves into Doss's coaching philosophy, the significance of understanding player dynamics, and the strategies he employs to cultivate a thriving team culture.

Despite these adversities, Owens was propelled by an intrinsic desire to achieve greatness, both in basketball and in life.

His story is not only about personal triumph; it is also a tribute to the community that rallied around him, showcasing how collective support can uplift individuals facing adversity.

Kevin Connors is the Managing Director at Susan Crown Exchange, where he oversees grantmaking, leads new initiatives, and co-develops organizational strategy.
Kevin has helped lead the Million Coaches Challenge, a national initiative launched by the Susan Crown Exchange in 2021 to transform youth sports by training one million coaches in evidence-based youth development practices. Backed by 18+ partners, including the Aspen Institute’s Project Play and research led by the American Institutes for Research, the Million Coaches Challenge is transforming youth sports by equipping coaches with the information and tools to create positive, inclusive environments that help young people build confidence, belonging, and life skills through sport.
On this episode Mike & Kevin discuss the Million Coaches Challenge, which strives to train one million coaches in evidence-based youth development practices. The conversation explores the critical gaps in training that many coaches face, highlighting the fact that a considerable percentage lack even the basic knowledge necessary to promote healthy development among young athletes. Connors underscores the importance of creating supportive, inclusive environments where children can thrive not only athletically but also socially and emotionally. He believes that the role of a coach transcends mere technical instruction, advocating for a more holistic approach that nurtures the personal growth of each athlete. As the discussion unfolds, Connors reflects on his own experiences in youth sports, sharing poignant stories that illustrate the profound impact that empathetic coaching can have on a child's development. He emphasizes the need for coaches to cultivate meaningful relationships with their players, asserting that understanding what motivates each individual is paramount to fostering a positive sports experience. The dialogue further explores the pressing issues of mental health among youth athletes, with Connors advocating for a collective effort among coaches, parents, and organizations to prioritize emotional well-being alongside competitive success. Through the Million Coaches Challenge, there is a concerted push to redefine success in youth sports, moving beyond traditional metrics such as wins and losses to focus on the development of essential life skills. The episode culminates in a discussion of the fragmented landscape of youth sports, where existing structures often inhibit effective coaching practices. Connors calls for a unified approach that engages stakeholders at all levels - from grassroots organizations to systemic policymakers - to create a culture that values quality coaching as a fundamental standard. He expresses optimism about the future of the Million Coaches Challenge, envisioning a world where coaches are equipped with the tools, resources, and support necessary to foster environments that promote the well-being and development of young athletes. The overarching message is clear: by investing in the training and development of coaches, we can reshape the youth sports experience for the better, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive.

Edwin B. Henderson II is the author of the book, The Grandfather of Black Basketball: The Life and Times of Dr. E. B. Henderson. Henderson is the grandson and namesake of Dr. E. B. Henderson who organized the first athletic league for Blacks, introduced basketball to Black people on a wide-scale, organized basis, and founded associations to train and organize Black officials and referees. He also wrote and co-edited the first Spalding publication that highlighted the exploits of African American participation in sports and authored The Negro in Sports. Outside of athletics, Henderson was instrumental in founding the first rural branch of the NAACP, advocated for school desegregation, and held executive board positions with multiple NAACP branches.
Overlooked for decades, Henderson and his wife, Nikki, began nominating Dr. E. B. Henderson to be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2005, and after eight years, EB was finally enshrined in 2013as a contributor. The Grandfather of Black Basketball gives long-overdue recognition to a sports pioneer, civil rights activist, author, educator, and pragmatic humanitarian who fought his entire life to improve opportunities for youth through athletics.
On this episode Mike & Ed discuss the extraordinary contributions of Dr. E.B. Henderson, a pioneering figure in the realm of basketball and a dedicated civil rights activist. We delve into the historical significance of his establishment of the first sanctioned athletic league for African Americans, which enabled equitable access to sports when existing white leagues refused participation. Through the lens of his grandson, Edwin B. Henderson II, we explore the impact of Dr. Henderson's initiatives, including the formation of the Eastern Board of Officials, which facilitated organized sports within the African American community. The discussion further highlights the long-overdue recognition of Dr. Henderson's legacy, culminating in his induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, an accolade that underscores his pivotal role in shaping the sport. Join us as we recount the life and times of a man whose relentless pursuit of equity and advancement in athletics has left an indelible mark on both sports and society at large.

Matthew Bowman and Wayne LeCheminant are the co-authors of the new book, Game Changers: AJ Dybantsa, BYU, and the Struggle for the Soul of Basketball.
In one of the most unlikely coups in college basketball history, a religious school in Utah signed basketball phenomenon AJ Dybantsa. He will play for Brigham Young University - hardly the sort of basketball powerhouse that typically attracts exceptional and non-Mormon players like him.
Game Changers explores how BYU managed this stunning feat. A year before signing Dybantsa, the university lured coaching star Kevin Young from the NBA to run its basketball program. In the decade before, court rulings and institutional reform put money at the forefront of college sports in ways the American public had never seen. And for generations before that, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints built a theological structure and institutional commitment to basketball that put the sport front and center at BYU.

Andrew Spalter is the Founder and CEO of East Goes Global, an international operating partner that helps the world’s leading teams, talent, and brands expand, operate, and monetize across global markets.
East Goes Global serves as the international operating partner for over 20% of the NBA, supporting teams including the Phoenix Suns, New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, Dallas Mavericks, Sacramento Kings, and New Orleans Pelicans, as well as a roster of elite NBA talent spanning multiple eras of the league from legends like Dwyane Wade and Tracy McGrady to today’s international superstars, including Kevin Durant, Luka Dončić, Cooper Flagg, Devin Booker, Jalen Brunson, and many others.
On this episode Mike & Andrew discuss how NBA players, such as Cooper Flagg and Dwyane Wade, can effectively penetrate diverse international markets and the critical importance of cultural relevance in the global marketing of sports talent. Just being a prominent figure in the NBA is insufficient; a deeper understanding and connection to local cultures and languages significantly enhance an athlete's marketability. We also explore the operational dynamics of East Goes Global, which serves as a vital link between NBA teams and international markets, facilitating partnerships and marketing strategies that resonate with local audiences. Spalter emphasizes the necessity of adaptability and cultural insight in the pursuit of global brand expansion within the competitive landscape of professional sports.

Chris Boucher is the author of the new book, “Harry “Bucky” Lew: A Biography of Basketball’s First Black Professional” The book tells the story of how Harry “Bucky” Lew leapt over pro basketball’s color wall in 1902 and continued to integrate every single role in the game over the next 25 years. He was the first Black player, coach, manager, referee, and franchise owner in otherwise white leagues. His accomplishments were well documented in the newspapers of his day, but he has largely been forgotten, despite his assist to the Dodgers in finding a home for their first Black players in the United States and the full integration of all major league sports that soon followed.
Chris is a lifelong basketball fan and resident of Lowell, Massachusetts and hadn’t heard of Bucky Lew until he started researching the history of basketball in Lowell. He was shocked to learn all that Lew had accomplished and now hopes to get him his proper due.
On this episode Mike & Chris discuss the remarkable life of Harry “Bucky” Lew, the first black professional basketball player. Lew's significant contributions to the sport include breaking color barriers as a player, coach, manager, referee, and franchise owner within predominantly white leagues from 1902 onward. The discussion highlights the historical context of Lew's achievements, emphasizing his role in advancing racial integration in professional basketball and his pivotal influence on subsequent generations of athletes. Boucher articulates the challenges Lew faced, including racial discrimination and physical confrontations during games, shedding light on a largely forgotten yet crucial chapter in basketball history. As we explore Lew's legacy, we aim to bring greater awareness to his story and the profound impact he had on the evolution of the sport.

He also shares insights from his own coaching journey, highlighting the importance of resilience, adaptability, and the cultivation of a strong team culture, particularly during the rebuilding phases of a program.

Since 2020 he has consulted in college sports and notably was one of the nation's first consultants in the new area of Name, Image and Likeness for college student-athletes. In 2022 he co-founded Penn State's NIL Collective "Success With Honor" to coordinate NIL efforts for all of Penn State's 31 sports teams.
Paterno is the best-selling author of Paterno Legacy; Enduring Lessons from the Life and Death of My Father. He followed that up with the 2020 novel "Hot Seat: A Year Inside College Football's Pressure Cooker." In September 2024 he wrote "BLITZED! The All-Out Pressure of College Football's New Era"; the sequel to "Hot Seat".
Jay spent 22 seasons coaching, including 17 years on the Penn State staff. In March of 2011 he was named the Big 10’s Best Quarterbacks Coach while in 2008 he was recognized among the year’s best Offensive Coordinators.

In 2017 he was elected to Penn State's Board of Trustees receiving the highest number of votes among all candidates and was selected by 77% of all voters.
On this episode Mike & Jay discuss the current landscape in college athletics, underscoring the challenges that athletes face in this new era of name, image, and likeness (NIL) agreements. Jay shares his ideas for a comprehensive apprenticeship program within collegiate athletics, particularly in basketball and football that would impart essential skills like financial literacy and public relations, aiming to equip student-athletes with the tools necessary to navigate the complexities of their burgeoning careers. We delve into the implications of NIL and the transfer portal on the integrity of college athletics and the pressures placed on coaches and players alike. Ultimately, the conversation highlights the urgent need for a paradigm shift that prioritizes the holistic development of student-athletes in tandem with their athletic commitments.

He spent the past seven years at Gettysburg College, where he put together an 89-68 overall record (.567) and saw his teams advance to four straight Centennial Conference semifinals over the past four seasons. In 2024-25, he helped guide Gettysburg to the program's first 20-win season since 2007-08 and its highest national ranking in program history at No. 8, as the Bullets earned an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament, advancing to the second round before falling to top-seeded Wesleyan (Conn.) in the second round.
Prior to Gettysburg, Dunne guided the Vassar College men’s basketball program for five seasons. In his first season as head coach, Dunne became the youngest head coach in the NCAA at all levels at the time, and in 2016, he was one of two Division III Coaches named to the Under Armour 30-Under-30 Team.

Dunne is a 2010 graduate from Bates College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology. He was a three-year letter winner and served as a student-assistant coach as a senior for the Bobcats.
On this episode Mike and B.J. discuss the standards and expectations that Dunne seeks to establish both on and off the court in his first season at MIT, emphasizing the importance of fostering a cohesive team culture. Moreover, we explore the complexities of transitioning from a successful tenure at Gettysburg College to a prestigious institution such as MIT, highlighting the emotional and logistical challenges associated with such a significant career move.

Marshall began his career as an educator through the Teach For America program, teaching mathematics in the South Bronx and Harlem and serving as the boys basketball coach at Future Leaders Institute, where he led them to a New York City Charter School Championship.
Fate then led him to Mozambique, where Marshall worked as a volunteer coach and instructor with the Mozambican National Basketball Federation as well as the varsity boys basketball coach at the American International School of Mozambique, a program that he launched and developed. During his time in Africa, Marshall also served as a coach for the NBA’s Basketball Without Borders Africa and led various volunteer efforts such as conducting basketball clinics with local basketball clubs and rehabilitating basketball courts through partnerships with Hoops 4 Hope and the U.S. Embassy.
Returning to the U.S., Marshall worked as an assistant coach at DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, Md. During his time there, DeMatha won two WCAC championships, compiled an 88-19 record, and sent four players to the NBA: Victor Oladipo, Jerian Grant, Quinn Cook, Jerami Grant. He then embarked upon his next chapter back in his home state as Director of Basketball Operations at the University of Portland for the Portland Pilots.

On this episode Mike & Marshall discuss the critical need to prioritize skill development over competition in youth basketball, advocating for a shift toward a more balanced ratio of practice to games. In our discussion, we delve into the systemic issues that have led to an environment where the emphasis on winning has overshadowed the essential learning process inherent in training. We explore the significance of fostering a culture wherein young athletes can engage in meaningful practice sessions that promote skill acquisition, rather than merely participating in games for the sake of competition. The conversation also highlights the insights from Marshall’s extensive coaching career and his commitment to nurturing the next generation of players. This episode ultimately highlights the essential role that coaches play in shaping not only skilled basketball players but also well-rounded individuals, ready to face the challenges of life.

Paul Knepper is the author of the new book, Moses Malone: The Life of a Basketball Prophet which tells the story of Moses Malone, the first modern-day player to jump from high school basketball to the pros, paving a path for future star players like Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, and LeBron James to follow.
Paul’s first book was The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks, and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All. He covered the New York Knicks as a featured columnist for Bleacher Report. Prior to that, he wrote for the defunct website Love of Sports.
On this episode Mike & Paul explore Moses Malone's significant yet often overlooked impact on the landscape of professional basketball, particularly as the first modern player to transition directly from high school to the NBA. Knepper shares the challenges and triumphs faced by Malone throughout his illustrious career. We delve into the intense recruitment process that surrounded Malone, illustrating how coaches resorted to various illicit tactics to secure his commitment. Moreover, the discussion encompasses Malone's transformative presence on the Philadelphia 76ers during their 1983 championship season, highlighting his pivotal role in their success. Through personal anecdotes and historical context, this episode aims to shed light on Malone's legacy, affirming his rightful place among basketball's greatest figures, a narrative that has been largely forgotten by contemporary NBA fans.

NBA Hall of Famer Tim Hardaway is considered one of the best point guards of his generation. On this episode we discuss Tim’s new book, Killer Crossover with him and his co-author Jake Uitti. We delve into Hardaway's ascent from a challenging upbringing in Chicago to becoming one of the premier point guards of his era. The narrative unfolds to reveal not only his personal triumphs but also the profound sense of camaraderie and teamwork that characterized his time with legendary teammates like Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullin. Emphasizing the significance of persistence, Hardaway articulates the invaluable lessons gleaned from both his trials and his successes on the court. Ultimately, this episode serves as an exploration of Hardaway's legacy, illustrating how his experiences have shaped both his professional career and his role as the father of current NBA player, Tim Hardaway, Jr.
In Killer Crossover, Hardaway shares stories from his tough upbringing in Chicago through his collegiate career and to the NBA. As a part of "Run TMC" (with fellow Warriors Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullin), he immediately established himself as one of the top players in the league. Joining the Miami Heat in 1996, and along with teammates Alonzo Mourning, Dan Majerle, and Jamal Mashburn (to name a few), he would become a main protagonist in one of the most contentious rivalries in all of basketball with the New York Knicks.
Killer Crossover is the story of a man who worked his way from humble beginnings to becoming an All-Star at the highest level—not to mention a father to a future NBA standout—as well as all the trials and tribulations that come along with being one of the best in the game.

Devrinn Paul is entering his third year as the head coach of the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology women's basketball team in the 2025-26 season. Paul has guided Rose-Hulman to a combined 24 wins in his first two seasons as head coach after the program won just 23 games over the previous four seasons combined. In his inaugural season in Terre Haute, Paul guided the Fighting' Engineers to a 10-win improvement over the previous season.
Paul has been a member of the coaching staff at three Division One institutions, including Louisville, Cincinnati and Marshall. His stop at Louisville included two trips to the Final Four.
Paul recently wrote, edited and released, on May 1, 2025, his first book titled “"Coaching the Winner Within, 7 Leadership Skills to Elevate Your Team and Your Life." To help promote and sell the book, Paul created a website to enhance the reader's experience that introduced individuals to the book and accompanying workbook. Throughout the book, Paul discusses his exposure to championship cultures that focus on preparation, humility, and leadership and his evolution of a coach while helping rebuild a program - learning how to recruit, develop talent, and elevate team chemistry.
On this episode Mike and Devrinn discuss the idea that success in coaching is not solely determined by tactical knowledge, but rather by personal growth and character development. Paul emphasizes the importance of letting players express themselves on the court while fostering an environment that prioritizes their academic commitments. Additionally, he shares insights from his newly published book, "Coaching the Winner Within," which outlines seven leadership skills essential for both personal and professional elevation. As we explore Paul’s experiences and philosophies, we gain valuable perspectives on the intersection of athletics, personal finance, and the significance of nurturing a supportive team culture.

Kevin Hovde was hired as the 24th Men’s Basketball Head Coach at Columbia University in March of 2025. He returns to the Lions after helping the University of Florida Gators win a National Championship this year as an assistant to Head Coach Todd Golden.
Hovde went to Florida after spending the 2021-22 season at his alma mater, Richmond, under the direction of his former head coach Chris Mooney. While there, he helped the Spiders to the second round of the NCAA Tournament following an Atlantic 10 Tournament championship.
Hovde was on the staff at the University of San Francisco for five years and was promoted to the team’s associate coach on Golden’s staff from 2019 to 2021. He helped the Dons to a 22-12 record in 2019-20 and a win over fourth-ranked Virginia on November 27, 2020 – the program’s first win over a top-five opponent in 39 years.

Cooper Neimand is a Performance Coach for College Basketball Coaches. Neimand helps college coaches gain control, prioritize themselves, and build championship habits and cultures.
Cooper was previously a Men’s Basketball Assistant Coach at D2 Lincoln Memorial University in Tennessee where he began his tenure in 2019. Prior to that he was an assistant at D2 Lander University in South Carolina for two seasons. Neimand also spent four years on the coaching staff at Wesleyan Christian Academy in High Point, North Carolina, under head coach and Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) legend Keith Gatlin.
On this episode Mike & Cooper discuss the profound impact of coaching habits and mindsets on personal and team success, highlighting that the essence of effective coaching lies in self-awareness and prioritization. Cooper emphasizes that many coaches often find themselves overwhelmed due to a lack of boundaries and an incessant drive to work harder, which can ultimately hinder both their personal well-being and their team's performance.

Dave Klatsky is the Men’s Basketball Head Coach at New York University. He was named head coach of the Violets in May of 2022.
Klatsky produced his second consecutive winning season at NYU in 2023-24, as he led the Violets to a 21-6 record, the University Athletic Association (UAA) Co-Championship (the program’s first title in 30 years), and to the Second Round of the NCAA Division III Tournament.
In his first season at NYU, Klatsky led the Violets to their first NCAA Tournament berth since 2015-16. He set a new standard for the most wins by a first-year head coach in program history as the Violets posted an 18-8 overall record and added a 7-7 mark in the UAA, the most victories since 2015-16.
Klatsky came to NYU after an 11-year tenure as an assistant coach at NCAA Division I Colgate University under Head Coach Matt Langel, helping lead the program to three of the last four Patriot League Tournament titles.
Prior to Colgate, Klatsky served as an assistant coach at Stevens Institute of Technology from 2007-11.
Klatsky, who earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics with a concentration in Finance and Accounting from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania in 2003, played for Coach Fran Dunphy from 1999-2003. He set the program's then-single-season assist record in 2000-01.
After graduating from Penn, Klatsky worked as an equity analyst and trader in Manhattan and Jersey City, before entering the coaching profession.
On this episode Mike & Dave discuss Dave’s journey from assistant coach to leading the Violets of NYU in this insightful conversation. Klatsky discusses the significant decisions that come with being a head coach, emphasizing that everything ultimately falls back on him, not just game strategies and player substitutions. Klatsky reflects on his early development as a player and how the landscape of basketball has changed, particularly in terms of skill development and creativity. He highlights the importance of creating a culture within the team and how he approaches practice design to foster competitiveness and efficiency. As he looks to the future, Klatsky expresses both excitement and challenge in maintaining the talent and culture of his program while enjoying the collaborative spirit of coaching.

Jason Smith is in his first season as the women’s basketball head coach at NAIA Tennessee Wesleyan University. He previously served as the head women’s coach at Peru State during the 2023-2024 season and Cedarville University from 2021-2023.
Prior to Cedarville Smith had a ten-year run as the women’s head coach at Bryan College in Dayton, Tenn. He produced an impressive resume at Bryan where he is the school’s all-time winningest coach. Smith guided the Lions to an overall record of 219-85 including a 157-49 slate in the Appalachian Athletic Conference. His teams claimed five regular season titles, four league tournament crowns, and made six appearances in the NAIA Division II National Tournament. Following his final season, Smith earned his third consecutive AAC Coach of the Year honor after his team posted a remarkable 78-7 record during that timespan featuring a perfect 64-0 conference mark. He produced nine consecutive winning campaigns.
Jason previously served as the head men’s basketball coach at both Calvary Bible College and San Diego Christian College. As an undergraduate at Kansas he was a varsity manager and film technician for Head Coach Roy Williams.
On this episode Mike & Jason discuss the importance of self-awareness and accountability in player development. Jason emphasizes that players often already know what they need to improve upon but may struggle to articulate it or take ownership of their performance. Smith reflects on the challenges coaches face when trying to instill a strong work ethic and a winning mentality in their teams, particularly in an era where instant gratification is prevalent. He shares insights from his coaching journey, including the need to foster a culture of love and acceptance within the team, allowing players to feel valued regardless of their role. The conversation highlights the significance of building trust and encouraging open communication between coaches and players to help them navigate their growth on and off the court.

Melissa Jackson is entering her first season as Youngstown State's Head Women's Basketball Coach in 2024-2025. She is the ninth head coach in the history of the Youngstown State University women’s basketball program.
Jackson previously spent 15 seasons at Akron and the most recent campaign at Cleveland State. Her final five seasons in Akron were as the Zips’ head coach, and she is the only coach in the program’s history to have a winning record. Jackson held three different positions over her 15 seasons at Akron from 2008-23 and was part of the Zips’ best period in program history. She was an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator on Jodi Kest’s staff from 2008-12, and she was elevated to the role of associate head coach alongside Kest from 2012-18. Jackson’s role in Akron’s success under Kest helped her earn a promotion to Akron’s head coach before the 2018-19 season, and she helped the Zips assemble a 72-69 record and 40 MAC victories in her five seasons.
Jackson spent the first four years of her coaching career at Delaware from 2004-08 after graduating from the University of Richmond where she was a 4 year basketball student-athlete.

Mike goes Han Solo on this NBA episode while sharing his thoughts on the Cavs' hiring of Kenny Atkinson, how that move may or may not affect the Donovan Mitchell extension talks, and the impact on the rest of the Cavs' roster.
Next, he compares and contrasts the Lakers' hiring of JJ Redick with the Hornets hiring of Charles Lee before sharing some thoughts on potential Paul George destinations.
Is the NBA Draft the same marquee event it used to be? Is it good timing to be splitting the draft into two night? Is it just Mike or has the draft become less watchable?

Mike Martin recently completed his 12th season as the Men's Basketball Head Coach at Brown University. He is the 31st head men’s basketball coach in the program’s 117-year history. Martin launched his Brown career in 2012-2013 as the fourth youngest head men’s basketball coach in Division I. Martin is the winningest head coach in Brown men's basketball history with 148 victories.
Martin began his coaching career at Brown on head coach Glen Miller’s staff as an assistant coach in 2005-2006. He was an assistant at Penn from 2006 – 2012 under both Miller and later Jerome Allen before returning to take over the program at Brown in 2012.
As a player, Martin was a four-year starter at Brown and was part of the winningest class in the Bears' basketball history, posting a 63-45 four-year record from 2000-2004. He also helped the Class of 2004 to a school-record 39-17 Ivy League mark during that period -- the best by an Ivy League team other than Penn and Princeton since 1970. He also helped the Bears to a school-record four straight winning seasons. When he graduated, Martin ranked third all-time at Brown in career treys (143), ninth in career steals (113), and tenth in career assists (232).

On this episode Mike & Jason discuss the Cavs' loss to Boston and speculate on who stays, who goes, and why out of Mitchell, Garland, Allen, Mobley, and Bickerstaff. Our consensus - Mitchell and Mobley stay, Allen, Garland, and Bickerstaff go. Next, they look at the Mavs' game 5 win in OKC behind Luka's triple double. Then they turn their attention to the Denver Nuggets and the complete turnaround that has taken place in this series behind the incredible performances of Nikola Jokic. Finally, they wonder about the "battle" between Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Haliburton and whether the Pacers have any chance of winning a game 7 in New York.

Ben Kaplan is the co-author of Pipeline to the Pros: How D3, Small-College Nobodies Rose to Rule the NBA. For the first time in league history, NBA coaches and general managers are just as likely to have played Division III basketball as they are to have played in the NBA. While the number of former D3 players working in the NBA is higher than ever, small college alums have served in leadership positions since the league’s founding. Their improbable and inspiring journeys tell a bigger story – the history of small college athletics, the evolution of coaching and management in the NBA, and the hiring practices in the most competitive fields.
Kaplan is an analytics executive in the sports and entertainment business. He graduated from Amherst College, where he gained an intimate understanding of Division III athletics as both a member of the varsity basketball team and a student assistant in the sports information department. Ben’s writing has appeared in D3Hoops dot com, the authority on Division III men's and women's basketball.

Kent Washington made history by becoming the first American to play professional basketball behind the Iron Curtain. In his memoir, Kentomania, he recounts his journey from grade school, when he was known as Peanut, to become the first Black American to play professionally in the top league in Poland.
Kent began to tap into his talent as a basketball player in junior and senior high school in New Rochelle, New York. His obsessive work ethic started to pay dividends as he elevated his game and became a college player at Southampton College in Long Island. During a basketball tour of communist Poland with his team in May 1976, Kent took the country by storm and became an overnight sensation.
After finishing his education, he returned to Poland under contract to play professionally. The Polish press dubbed his popularity “Kentomania,” and fans lined the sidewalks hoping to get into a game to see him play – and to get his autograph.
Kent’s athletic and cultural journey is unique as shares insights on his life behind the Iron Curtain.

Julie Kliegman is the author of Mind Game: An Inside Look at the Mental Health Playbook of Elite Athletes. Her work has appeared in outlets including Sports Illustrated, The Washington Post, Bookforum, The Ringer, BuzzFeed News, Vulture, The Verge, and Washington Monthly.
In Mind Game: An Inside Look at the Mental Health Playbook of Elite Athletes, Julie offers insight into how elite athletes navigate mental performance and mental illness—and what non-athletes can learn from them. She explores the recent mental health movement in sports, the history and practice of sport psychology, the stereotypes and stigmas that lead athletes to keep their troubles to themselves, and the ways in which injury and retirement can throw wrenches in their mental states. Kliegman also examines the impacts of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance use, and more, with a keen eye toward moving forward with acceptance, progress, and problem-solving.

On this episode Mike & Jason discuss the Cavs rise to the two seed in the Eastern Conference and the potential vulnerabilities of the teams at the top of the East.

Finally, they complain about the line-up for the Slam Dunk Contest (while offering a much better one) and wonder about the glass court the NBA plans to use for All-Star Saturday night.

On this episode Mike & Jason discuss the Cavs win in Philly without Donovan Mitchell. Will Evan Mobley ever make the offensive leap? Is this team better without Mitchell? Craig Porter, Jr.? Next they look at the rise of OKC and Minnesota in the West. Chet and Shai's shooting leads the Thunder while Anthony Edwards takes the reins of the Wolves' offense and Rudy anchors the D.
Is Indiana legit? Their offense yes, the defense...no. What is wrong in Detroit? What does Charlotte have? Timeless Lebron... and more form around the league.

Nick Manzoni is the Founder of SportsLab360, an online platform that empowers youth basketball players to increase their Basketball IQ. SportsLab360 started in soccer 6 years ago and has now crossed over to basketball.
At the age of 17, Nick was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer that put his life and his future soccer career in the balance. After nine months of treatment and three surgeries, he was able to recover what was lost and eventually played four years of soccer at the Division 1 level. Because physical activity was not possible during his treatment, he found other ways to continue to develop as a player; he became a student of the game, taking any opportunity he had to further his tactical education and understanding. It was from this experience that the SportsLab360 mission took shape. Empowering basketball players around the world to make smarter and quicker decisions on the court. Whether it is soccer, basketball, or whatever is coming next, Nick is passionate about creating the most impactful user experience for all athletes using SportsLab360.

Jeff Juron is entering his 9th season as the Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Suffolk University in Boston while also serving as the Assistant Director of Athletics. Over eight seasons at Suffolk, Juron has helped Suffolk to new heights highlighted by six consecutive winning seasons.
Juron and Suffolk earned one of the biggest achievements a NCAA Division III program could, as the 2019-20 Sam Schoenfeld Sportsmanship Award honorees, which is presented by the Collegiate Basketball Officials Association (CBOA) to the college or university which, in the judgement of the CBOA membership exemplifies the “highest degree of sportsmanship character and ethics among their players, coaches and spectators.”
Juron came to Suffolk after spending five seasons at the University of Rochester as an assistant coach. Jeff began his coaching career as an assistant at Skidmore College during the 2009-10 season.
As a four-year starting point guard at Rochester from 2004-2008, Juron helped the Yellow Jackets to the Division III NCAA Tournament three times, including a spot in the 2005 national championship game.

Krikorian's squads also advanced to the 2015-2016 Final Four in Salem, Va., as well as the 2018-2019 Final Four in Fort Wayne. In his tenure, Krikorian has led the Captains to nine NCAA Tournaments in 12 seasons, including the last seven tournaments. CNU is the only school in the nation to win at least one game in each of the last seven NCAA tourneys, and Krikorian now has a career mark in tournament games of 23-7.

Ed Chao is the VP of Operations at Cerebro Sports where they have the vastest collection of basketball box scores in the world, especially in the youth space. Cerebro organizes these box scores into basketball tools for basketball people while partnering with event operators around the country as well as vendors who stream youth basketball or do video breakdowns.
Ed earned his Bachelor’s Degree from Rice University in Houston and went on to earn a Masters in Public Health from Emory University, focusing on epidemiology. In 2010, Ed launched his first startup, MyVaxines, a web-based tool that provided information and services to assist families in forecasting and managing their immunization records. After moving back to Houston in 2014, Ed launched Houston Escape Room, the first escape room concept brought to Texas and that currently has two Houston locations. Ed, a self-proclaimed basketball junkie and long-time pickup game player, started Hoop Club Dallas, a digital solution to organizing pickup basketball games which he later sold. The program’s $10 games provided a “no drama” way to play and attracted players at all skill levels including NBA players like Trae Young.

He is actively involved in the Coaches vs Cancer program supported by the NABC and the American Cancer Society.

Eslinger spent the six seasons at MIT, where he served as associate head coach and the program's top assistant.

Terrance “Munch” Williams has been the Executive Director of ProScholars Athletics since 2008. Under his leadership, ProScholars Athletics has grown from one team of a handful of afterschool students to a basketball program recognized as the top men's basketball AAU program in the country. His new book, Our PSA offers hope, motivation, and a blueprint for what it takes to become an emotionally, physically, and intellectually healthy African-American Male in today’s society. Williams attended and graduated from the Holderness School, a selective boarding school in New Hampshire. Terrance holds a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology from Wesleyan University in 2002. After graduating from Wesleyan, Terrance served two years in the Teach for America program and went on to teach 1st grade for three years in a school located in the NYC’s South Bronx. After teaching he spent two years as Dean of Students at East New York Preparatory Charter School and earned a Master's in Education/Building Leadership at the University of Phoenix during this time. It was at this point that Terrance decided to return to his roots and accepted a position as Educational Coordinator of the SCAN "Reach for the Stars" program at Mulally Recreation Center, a program he participated in as a child. Within a year and a half of returning to SCAN, Terrance was promoted to Center Director of the Mulally Recreation Center. While returning to the SCAN organization, he began working with the initial group of students who would help create the foundation for the ProScholars Athletics program. Understanding that team sports can be a spring board to numerous academic and social opportunities, Williams has spearheaded an educational movement that has seen student athletes earn admission to prestigious boarding and Catholic schools located throughout the Northeast as well as numerous Division I scholarship offers for its participants.

On this episode, Mike and Jason begin by discussing the Eastern Conference matchups so far. They discuss the best game of the weekend between the Celtics and Nets, what has happened to the Raptors and if they can course correct, the surprisingly competitive first game between the Bulls and the Bucks, and then they talk Jimmy Butler & Trae Young in the Hawks/Heat series. They then shift their focus to the Western conference where they discuss The Doncic-less Mavs, how good the Warriors have looked, Jokic's ejection, the keys to the Timberwolves and Grizzlies series, as well as the impact of Devin Booker's injury on the Suns/Pelicans series. After those discussions, Mike and Jason make predictions for the outcomes of each series, as well as make arguments for who they think makes it to the Finals from each conference, and ultimately who will win the title.

On this episode Mike and Jason discuss Evan Mobley's injury and look closely at the playoff race in the East, both at the top and for the play-in.

Next, they shift their focus to the West where the Suns are running away with one seed, but both Mike and Jason believe there are several teams that could knock them off before the NBA Finals.

Welcome to episode eleven of our Hoop Heads Podcast Series called "Mentality with Dwayne Killings - Season One at UAlbany" The series will continue to document Dwayne’s first year as the Head Men's Basketball Coach at the University at Albany. We plan to record and release 2-4 episodes per month with Dwayne and/or players, coaches, administrators, media members, and others associated with the Great Danes Basketball Program to get an inside look at what being a first year head coach at the Division 1 level is all about. On this episode Dwayne and I discuss the differences in being a head coach and an assistant when it comes to in-game coaching, pre-game preparation, and post-game analysis. Dwayne also shares how important it is for him to be the leader for his players and staff and focus on the process, not just the results. We wrap up by talking about his first win and how that feeling will always stay with him. Listen and learn from UAlbany Men’s Basketball Head Coach Dwayne Killings as we discuss his experiences through his first 7 games as a head coach.

Welcome to Courtside Culture on the Hoop Heads Podcast Network! Host Dave Grendzynski is a firm believer in positive psychology, especially when it comes to building a high school basketball program. By providing a positive pathway for your players and parents, you’ll cultivate a good team culture and the wins will take care of themselves. On the “Courtside Culture Podcast,” we’ll talk to coaches, psychologists, authors, and players about how the right mindset causes everything else to fall into place—especially in high school. The psyche of 15-, 16-, and 17-year-old kids are very fragile and the approach a coach takes means everything. If you can learn to focus on positive emotions and build strengths in your players, instead of repairing the bad, you’ll find a role for everyone, win games, and cultivate a good team culture at the same time.

Vinnie Falbo is the inventor of The Shoticle, a training aid that mounts on your backboard to give you the exact location where you must hit the glass for greater success. The Shoticle is based on research conducted by a team of professors that ran millions of computer simulations to identify the highest percentage shots, and the research was tested and confirmed by players at many levels. The researchers concluded that the highest percentage shot is provided by a vertical aim line behind the backboard that intersects with a series of aim lines on the plane of the backboard. The Shoticle is mounted in these given locations to provide the highest percentage shot with a very clear intersection point. Vinnie took these research findings and created The Shoticle to help shooters at all levels of the game shoot a higher percentage and score more.

Introducing Bleachers & Boards, the latest addition to the Hoop Heads Podcast Network, hosted by Matt Collier & Marlon Guild.
Two experienced college basketball coaches, Marlon Guild and Matt Collier, are collaborating to educate and entertain the basketball community on everything from hoops to hip-hop. Every episode will feature other coaches as guests to share (Board Talk segment) their basketball knowledge, tactical and strategic expertise, and advanced statistical analysis. In addition Matt & Marlon will take time to have a spirited discussion on a non-basketball topic they are passionate about similar to a “barber shop conversation” (Bleacher Talk segment) to show the lighter side of what coaches talk about when they aren’t working. The goal is to entertain, help grow the game, and promote coaches who don’t get recognized for their knowledge of the game of basketball.
