In this episode, we recap the guests we have had in season 1, as well as what we are looking forward to in season 2. We discuss the current NBA landscape with Kyrie wanting to protest the NBA for social justice, and Austin Rivers' rebuttal to play as a way to make a greater impact on the youth and in the community. We had a listener request that we talk about how to prepare the youth for middle school and high school tryouts, and we went into great detail about that, and what it would take to get them to the next level.

Coach Carlin Hartman (currently coaching at Oklahoma University) is set to enter Tulane University's basketball hall of fame. Hartman ended up 10th in scoring (1,180 points), 3rd in field goal percentage (52.8 percent), and 7th in career steals (146). At the turn of the last decade, Coach Hartman was named to Tulane's 1990s All-Decade Team as the university celebrated its 100-yrs of basketball. Here on HBSML, Hartman talks about his playing days as a high school player, and the decision to play at Tulane as opposed to the other offers he was getting. Once he chose Tulane, he quickly realized he made the best decision for his career. Hartman made some great strides into his professional stint before suffering a knee injury that would sideline him for good. Carlin is as resilient and respectable as they come, so he quickly rose through the coaching ranks. Poised to make his head coaching debut someday, he currently sits at Lon Kruger's right hand. I know you're tempted to, so dive in!

I was on top of the world, then it all came crashing down. Most guys in my situation would've folded, and gone crazy. I went through the sexual assault allegations and made it through my darkest hours. Though I did not make the final roster, I played for the Denver Broncos, and I have a lot of experience to pass down to the next generation of talent.
