In this episode I sit down with Chris "Mong" Mongilia, Director of Basketball Operations @Princeton University. We talk about the origins of his coaching career @River Dell High School; the daily grind of being an Ops guy; building relationships through debate; the challenges of playing in the Ivy League; how to teach offense and defense through breakdowns; his obsession with lay-ups; being intentional with his free time; grinding to get opportunities; and why Derek Jeter, Peyton Manning, and Kobe are his three favorite athletes. Mong is a great guy and coaches will get better after giving this episode a listen.
