This week we revisit a conversation with Furman head coach Bob Richey. Richey reflects on his journey from a low-paid young assistant at Charleston Southern to becoming one of the most respected coaches in college basketball, and shares why intentional growth—not just ambition—has shaped his path. He explains the importance of knowing who you are as a coach, finding mentors that align with your philosophy, and going deep in your study instead of chasing surface-level ideas.
Richey also opens up about the systems Furman has built beyond basketball, from leadership councils and mentorship programs to etiquette dinners, financial education, and guest speakers designed to prepare players for life after the game. He and Coach Suhr discuss messaging, conviction, player development through love instead of fear, and why culture is built by consistently growing people—not just chasing wins.
All that and more on episode 324 of the Coaching U Podcast presented by Noah Basketball.
