The moment that changed everything. A basketball game. A winning shot. Even though no trophies were won, that moment changed the direction of the Ohio State basketball program and its leader.

In this episode, we feature Thad Matta, the winningest basketball coach in Ohio State Buckeye history.

This is a SportsEpreneur original episode from the quarantine — and it’s now featured on this show, Entrepreneur Perspectives. We’ve seen how useful Thad Matta’s stories have been for other entrepreneurial-minded individuals–so we wanted to share this episode with more!

We go behind the scenes with Coach Thad Matta. As Coach Matta says, 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. Coach Alan Major joins this episode to share his own stories about his time with Thad Matta.
