What happens when you take over a struggling high school basketball program with no feeder school, no stars, and zero recent wins? You get Coach Adam Desgain—a hometown legend who returned to J.R. Tucker to rewrite the narrative brick by brick.
In this episode of Ballin in VA, Coach Adam drops the raw truth about rebuilding a program from the ground up, the politics of high school ball, dealing with transfers, why culture beats talent, and how he turned a 0–24 disaster into a 19–5 season that shocked the state. Plus, we talk about hoops legacy, the rise of underrated players, and calling out lazy parents (yup, we went there).
This is more than basketball. It’s about grit, grind, and building a legacy when nobody’s watching.
