As the premier developmental league for the NBA, The Basketball Tournament and the G League have always had a close relationship.

To explore this further, Haner directed traffic as Charge (G League fan of the Canton/Cleveland Charge) and Fort Wayne Champs GM Garrett Martz (former staffer at the Fort Wayne Mad Ants) discussed TBT and the G League, including:

How the G League balances the needs of development and fan interaction.
How Martz and the Fort Wayne Champs came into existence.
How the TBT opens some doors for players in his agency (Potter Sports Group).
Early thoughts on some potential TBT matchups at the Xavier Regional.

While alumni teams and high level overseas players are the lifeblood of The Basketball Tournament, a team playing for a cause will always grab fans and attention.

Last season's Autism Army made it all the way to the TBT final, only falling one game short in a loss to Blue Collar U (Buffalo Alumni), gaining fans and publicity for their cause on their journey.

In one of the more interesting conversations we've had in a while, Charge and Haner welcome Delroy James (SF) and Griffin Taylor (GM) of the newly renamed Program for Autism to discuss:

Last year's incredible run, ending in both heartbreak and joy as Delroy welcomed a new child to his family.
What the atmosphere was like at the Rucker last TBT.
Delroy's son's charity org: https://www.jaylensspectrum.org/

And how this squad can ride their unselfishness and shot making to a TBT title.

One of the more interesting stories in The Basketball Tournament 2022 was the rise of a very competitive HBCUnited team, fighting its way to the Rucker regional final, only losing by a single point to TBT finalist Autism Army.

Charge and Haner welcome Robert Jones, HC of both TBT's HBCUnited and Norfolk State, a D1 MBB team in the MEAC.

We discuss the misconceptions of what it means to play at an HBCU, how the United can make the next step in TBT, and if winning a cool million would be as cool as beating Mizzou in 2012.

With a TBT bid becoming more and more precious, alternative ways of getting in are becoming very valuable. One way to get in is to win the Vic Beasley (https://www.brighter-days.org/register/) Brighter Days 5on5 Tournament.

TBT veterans Ced Brooks (Ft. Hood Wounded Warriors) and Bryan Tracy (formerly Utah Valor) have joined forces under the "Men of Honor" banner and are trying to EARN their way to TBT.

We chat odds, the Beasley Event, and the merits of joining forces. Is a renaming of the team to Ft. Hood on tap? Only time will tell.

Once TBT announced their groundbreaking partnership with the NBP to come to New York's Rucker Park, the former 'mystery' region started to fill up.

One of the more interesting applicants is the HBCUnited, a team representing the Historically Black Colleges and Universities that make up the MEAC and SWAC.

We welcomed GM (and Columbia Assistant Coach) Jake Brown and ESPY winning guard Thomas "Snacks" Lee to discuss how the team decided to play at Rucker, what brand of ball we can expect, and what makes the HBCU experience so unique.

Current events in Europe involving the Ukrainian - Russian conflict have put the usual chatter about basketball in a different light. With millions of people in danger in the center of eastern Europe, the effects on the basketball community pale in comparison, but are an informative way to put the greater tragedy in context.

Charge and Haner invited guests dialed into the current situation to get an idea of how the current war will affect European basketball over the coming months and likely years.

Guest #1 (3/8 taping): Tom Ballato, founder of https://thenextprospect.org/, discusses the short and long term effects of the halt of the Ukrainian Super League as well as the Russian VTB United League's standing during international sanctions.

Guest #2 (3/1 taping): Mike Davis, a guard who played with Kharkivski Sokoly of the Ukrainian Superleague as well as TBT's D2 squad, discusses living in the border city of Kharkiv right before the conflict started and what the future for the Ukrainian league might be.

Guest #3 (3/3 taping): Marcus Keene, lead guard for Pallacanestro Varese and TBT's Sideline Cancer, discusses his experience playing for Kalev / Cramo last season (20-21) and his thoughts on his old squad being the first team to leave the Russian VTB United League in protest over the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Sometimes it's bigger than basketball, and we hope putting a horrible war in this context helps a few of us wrap our minds around the human dimension.

With the Basketball Tournament getting more and more competitive, life on the bubble gets even more anxious just days from Selection Monday. While we all anxiously await the bid reveals, Charge and Haner wanted to highlight the teams that give the lower half of the bracket its character. We discuss the squads that want to crash the party, scare some one seeds, and maybe walk out with the TBT2021 $1M bag.

All guests got the same three questions and were given only ONE MINUTE to make their case on each:

What is the story behind your team?
What your best qualities?
Why should TBT choose your team?

In true speed dating fashion, it was quick, flirty, at times awkward, and hearts were broken.

As part of #TBT2020 "Bubble Week", Charge and Haner discuss the TBT in a SHARED episode with both the GM of D2:Unheralded, Grant Leonard AND the GM of We Are D3, Michael Rejniak.

Just above the already cut teams, but below the safe teams, life on the TBT bubble is stressful. It is so tight that We Are D3 was cut hours before taping. To his credit, Michael honored the booking and came on to chat TBT and the thrill of getting D3 all stars to prove they belong with their D1 brethren.

On the other side of the coin, D2:Unheralded is still very much alive at taping, with a slim but real chance of breaking into the field of 24. Coming off a 2019 run that included the destruction of the Kentucky Alum TBT, the Bluegrass Boys, in 2019, you can bet the rest of the field is hoping the D2 bubble gets popped just to avoid this battle tested squad.

The NCAA always says a lot of the lower division players often "Go Pro in Something Other than Sports", but D2/D3 have a history putting their D1 alumni teams through hell for a full four quarters.

Gutty, grinding, and with nothing to lose, can the D2 players win the $2M? Can We Are D3 get a head start on their #TBT2021 run?

Fun interview to clear our "Bubble Week" team profile shows.

We discuss the small, but passionate, fan base of the Gaels, the buzz at Iona due to the arrival of Rick Pitino, and the luxury of having one of the deepest perimeter rotations in the TBT community.

Was the foul that put them out to Armored Athlete in 2018 a tough call? What impact will grad transfer Diamond Stone have on their front court play? Can the Nation represent the rebound of New Rochelle, the home of Iona and the epicenter of America's COVID crisis?

Deep, dangerous, and with scoring up and down the roster, can the GaelNation plant their flag in the 24 and play for $2M?
