The NCAA may keep moving the three-point line back, but Baylor, the nation’s leader in three-point percentage, is among several top teams still firing away and reaping results. Hoops and Howie look at those teams’ early success, what’s ahead, and a recent team that rode hot shooting from deep to a national title.  

What it takes to build a successful program is at the heart of Hoops’ interview with Steve Pikiell, coach of 15th-ranked Rutgers. Pikiell experienced that first-hand as a captain at UConn during its rise to national prominence. 

But first, Hoops and Howie look at why there is a dearth of black head coaches in a sport with predominantly black players and what can be done to change the dynamics.
