You won't find a more detailed and passionate coach than Kent State's Jon Fleming. It was a real treat to sit down and chop it up with the Fishers, IN native to discuss everything from his playing days under Coach Sendy to now working for him. We talk about his passion for player development, the tournament berth and what it was like playing and prepping for the likes of Drew Timme, Jarace Walker and TJD. You can just tell Jon is a basketball guy through and through and it was a lot of fun picking his brain. I kick us off with a Celtics eulogy though so while the interview with Jon was great... I was pretty down leading into it. Whatever... Celtics in 13

One of the best interviews we've done as it relates to story telling. Casey Shaw representing GCU comes to us and dishes on everything from his playing career, to having his locker next to Allen Iverson, to playing overseas, to his interaction with Dirk Nowitzki to everything GCU. It was a remarkable dive into his experiences with Top 75 players, his family connection with the Drews and his personal upbringing in Lebanon, OH. This was a blast of a conversation. I also offer my thoughts on Kansas and Duke and speculate on Jay Wright to the Sixers.

Long time listener and avid theater goer, Colin Royal, joins us to break down his beef with the NET. Colin reached out to me a few months ago asking to come on and spread what he believes to be the good word. Admittedly, I totally forgot to get him on until he reminded me. I'm glad we set this up because Colin has a lot of solid points that will make you think. Look, the offseason is in full swing. It's pretty quiet on the CBB front. So use this episode as an opportunity to think and ponder by your bedroom window.
