Behind the scenes with one of college basketball’s finest, Coach Thad Matta. A winning culture is contagious and Matta’s stories from his days with The Ohio State Buckeyes, Xavier Musketeers, and Butler Bulldogs prove that out. In this episode, Thad Matta and host of the ClutchTimeout podcast series, Alan Major, provide insights and glimpses about what leadership under pressure looks like.

Alan and Thad talk about their days coaching basketball together at The Ohio State University and Xavier University, how they are managing the quarantine, the work ethic of Brad Stevens (Boston Celtics), and leading an organization with a championship culture. What an absolute privilege to feature Coach Matta on this podcast. We are grateful for his time, easy-going personality, and leadership stories.
