LaShaun Pryor and Kassie Stevens open the inbox and tackle your biggest questions about women’s sports—especially basketball. From passionate debates to tradition-rich college talk, nothing is off limits.

In the “Reading Mean Comments” segment, one commenter claims women can’t play sports because they have periods… and Kassie absolutely unloads with facts, fire, and unapologetic passion for the game. It’s one of the most powerful moments of the episode.

It’s women’s sports.

On this special episode of Pryor to the Snap, LaShaun Pryor and Kassie Stevens sit down with former National Champion, former NBA player, and respected coach Brian Hopgood for one of our most in-depth basketball conversations yet.

Coach Hopgood shares his firsthand experiences watching Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese compete at the high school level and breaks down what separates elite players from everyone else. He also talks about seeing Audi Crooks develop, what makes her special, and how the women’s game continues to evolve.

We dive into his time playing in the NBA — including battling the legendary Shaquille O'Neal — and what today’s players don’t always understand about physicality, preparation, and professionalism at the highest level.

This episode goes heavy on women’s basketball:

What changes must happen for the women’s game to continue progressing

Why development matters more than just exposure

The importance of strong coaching at the high school level

The future of Oklahoma girls basketball

We also challenge Kassie Stevens directly: Why someone with her passion for women’s basketball should seriously consider coaching girls high school basketball in Oklahoma — and why the Sooner State needs more advocates who truly understand the women’s game.

Plus:

Oklahoma high school basketball culture

Answering tough questions from frustrated parents who believe kids need to “play games nonstop”

Honest advice for parents who want to help their kids improve the right way

The balance between development, competition, and long-term success

This is a packed episode filled with high-level basketball insight, real coaching perspective, and passionate discussion about the future of women’s basketball.

If you care about girls basketball, player development, Oklahoma hoops, or the growth of the women’s game nationally — this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

On Super Bowl Sunday, Pryor to the Snap flips the script and puts the spotlight on YOU, the listener. Since we don’t normally live in NFL-heavy waters, we decided to dedicate this episode to a nationwide Question & Answer Special, pulling questions from listeners all across the country — and nothing was off-limits.

We dive deep into women’s college basketball, including a thoughtful discussion on Audi Crooks as a dominant post player and why players at her position often don’t receive the same national media coverage as guards and wings. We tackle one of the biggest NBA questions out there: Should LeBron James retire after this season, or return to Cleveland for one final run — and should Bronny James be part of that story?

The conversation turns serious as we debate whether it’s poor form for Anthony Davis to sit out the remainder of the season after being traded to the Washington Wizards and publicly expressing his frustration with the move. We also break down the new arena approved for Norman, Oklahoma, following an Oklahoma Supreme Court ruling — and ask the bigger question: What happens when courts, sports, and unhappy residents collide?

Plus, it wouldn’t be Pryor to the Snap without some fun — we bring in the Reading Mean Comments segment, responding directly to Facebook comments about the show. We also reflect on the success of The Coaches Hour of Power, sharing feedback from listeners and coaches who say these episodes are helping youth athletes prepare for the future of their careers.

Kassie delivers a powerful and emotional segment addressing domestic violence and the safety of women, following the tragic situation involving Rickea Jackson and allegations against her ex-boyfriend, an NFL player with the Atlanta Falcons. Kassie speaks candidly as a strong advocate, ally, and fighter against domestic abuse — especially for women in Oklahoma and across the country.

Joe answers a wave of listener questions about the University of Oklahoma, earning praise as an outstanding ambassador for the program. His insight comes from real experience as a former Roughneck and deep connections within the university, making him a trusted voice on what’s happening inside the program.

All this and more in one jam-packed, honest, and wide-ranging episode of Pryor to the Snap — built for the fans, by the fans.

On this powerful edition of Pryor to the Snap: Coaches Hour of Power, LaShaun Pryor sits down with Coach Fred Alcazar, owner and founder of CZAR Athletics.

Coach Alcazar takes us back to his roots as a young athlete in California, sharing how early experiences in sports and the guidance of a key mentor helped shape the man and leader he is today. We dive deep into his United States Air Force service and how the discipline, accountability, and mission-first mindset from the military are woven directly into the culture and daily operation of CZAR Athletics.

Fred breaks down the origins of CZAR Athletics, how he built a high-performance culture from the ground up, and the importance of surrounding yourself with the right coaches to make the machine run.

All this and so much more on an exciting, high-impact episode of Pryor to the Snap – Coaches Hour of Power. 🔥🎙️

In this special Coaches Hour of Power interview episode of Pryor to the Snap, we sit down with Coach Greg Harris, Head Baseball Coach at Wyandotte High School (Oklahoma)—a man whose commitment to his players goes far beyond the field.

Coach Harris makes a one-hour drive each way from his home in Arkansas to Wyandotte every single day, simply because he believes that deeply in the program, the school, and the young men he’s leading. With a lengthy and successful coaching career that includes years as a head coach in Huntsville, Arkansas, Coach Harris shares the journey that shaped him into the coach and leader he is today.

We talk about:

His path through coaching and what keeps him motivated

Why Wyandotte High School matters so much to him

Players to watch and what makes them special

The impact and leadership of his coaching staff

Building culture, accountability, and consistency

And powerful life advice that applies far beyond baseball

As the conversation unfolds, we continue to notice something powerful—the same core principles keep showing up across every great coach we’ve interviewed, regardless of sport. The values that build great players are the same ones that build great people.

This episode is packed with insight, inspiration, and perspective for players, coaches, parents, and anyone chasing excellence.

All this and so much more on this special Coaches Hour of Power interview edition of Pryor to the Snap

On this jam-packed episode of Pryor to the Snap, Joe Corley, Kassie Stevens, and LaShaun Pryor dive headfirst into the biggest stories shaking up the sports world right now.

We start with Unrivaled Basketball, where TV ratings chatter doesn’t match what we’re seeing in real life—packed arenas, a strong product, and history being made. Marina Mabrey drops 47 points, setting a record on the same night Unrivaled draws over 21,000 fans in attendance. So what really matters more—ratings or butts in seats?

From there, we break down stalled WNBA contract talks, discuss flag football’s growing legitimacy, and spotlight Nebraska making history by awarding its first women’s scholarship.

On the hardwood, it’s a rough one for Oklahoma men’s basketball, falling again to the Texas Longhorns, and we ask the tough question: Is Porter Moser’s future already decided? Meanwhile, the Oklahoma women’s team tips off at 2 PM against Texas, with Women’s SportsCenter in the building—who takes this one?

We also get into eye-opening numbers showing 70% of NFL players have been contacted by fans over fantasy football or betting losses, which sparks a larger conversation about player access, social media, and fan behavior.

The NCAA takes heat as we question the lack of consistency in eligibility rulings, including Owen Heiniike being denied another year while others seem to get six or more.

Finally, we unpack our recent interview with Coach Brian Hopgood and address the angry email from a local OKC AAU coach who claims we “don’t know what we’re talking about”—and yes, we break it all the way down.

🔥 All this and more on another unfiltered, no-holds-barred episode of Pryor to the Snap.

In this special Rough Cut Interview edition of Pryor to the Snap, we continue our mission of spotlighting the incredible high school coaches across the state of Oklahoma. This time, we sit down with Coach Brandon Clapp of Commerce, Oklahoma, who coaches high school baseball and middle school and high school girls softball, and whose impact reaches far beyond the field.

Coach Clapp opens up about his personal journey in sports, what athletics meant to him growing up, and how those experiences ultimately led him into coaching. We talk about the responsibility that comes with leading young athletes, the importance of coaching with a servant’s heart, and why relationships always matter more than wins and losses.

In addition to coaching, Coach Clapp is also a 15-year veteran sports official in the state of Oklahoma. He shares insight into the officiating side of the game, the mentors who shaped him both as an official and a coach, and how seeing the game from multiple perspectives has made him better in every role.

A major part of this episode focuses on the Mickey Mantle Classic, a massive annual baseball tournament hosted in Commerce, Oklahoma. Coach Clapp discusses what the event means to the town, the school, the athletes, and the community as a whole—and how humbled he is to be a small part of something so impactful. We also talk about ways people can get involved, including sponsorships, donations, auctions, and community support. (And yes—Pryor to the Snap was officially invited out to experience the event firsthand.)

We also dive into an honest and refreshing conversation about Commerce’s location in far northeastern Oklahoma, its proximity to Picher, Oklahoma, and the surrounding Tri-State mining district. We take time to dispel click-bait myths and tired narratives, choosing instead to talk about Picher as it truly was—a home to hardworking people, families, and deep history. Coach Clapp’s use of the phrase “Picher People” perfectly captures the pride, resilience, and humanity often left out of the conversation.

This episode isn’t just about sports—it’s about community, service, history, mentorship, and doing right by kids. If you care about Oklahoma high school athletics, small-town stories, or the people who quietly make a difference every day, this is one you don’t want to miss.

On this special Roughcut Interview Series episode of Pryor to the Snap, we sit down with one of the most decorated and respected minds in basketball — Coach Brian Hopgood.

A former national champion and highly accomplished boys and girls head coach, AAU coach, and lifelong student of the game, Coach Hopgood joins us for an in-depth, unfiltered conversation about basketball and life.

We dive into his journey from player to coach, his coaching philosophy, and the lessons learned along the way. Coach Hopgood also breaks down today’s game, talks OKC Thunder basketball, shares insight on high school hoops, and delivers real-life wisdom that reaches far beyond the court.

A major highlight of this episode is a powerful discussion on the women’s game — the importance of working with young women early, fostering confidence, and cultivating a genuine love for women’s basketball in our kids. Coach Hopgood speaks passionately about development, opportunity, and why investing in young female athletes matters now more than ever.

This episode is packed with invaluable advice for aspiring players and coaches, regardless of level or gender. Coach Hopgood’s perspective, passion, and authenticity shine throughout what truly becomes an hour of power.

His takes are pure gold — thoughtful, honest, and rooted in a deep love for the game. Sitting down with a true guru and soaking in his knowledge was an honor, and it’s a conversation you won’t want to miss.

🎙️ Roughcut. Real talk. Real hoops.

This is a MEGA episode of Pryor to the Snap and the crew is covering everything. We kick things off with some college football before welcoming a special guest — Ben Corley, Assistant Basketball Coach at McLoud High School and Head Coach of the Freshman Team right here in Oklahoma.

Shaun sits down with Ben for a deep-dive interview on his basketball journey, including his time in AAU, playing in Europe with Team USA, and how those experiences shape the way he coaches and sees the game today. From player development to basketball philosophy, this conversation delivers real insight from someone who’s lived it.

The hoops talk doesn’t stop there. Shaun and Ben also break down the NBA, focusing on the Oklahoma City Thunder — the health concerns this season, key players, and the looming impact of the second apron as more contracts come due. Are the Thunder built to win another championship this year, and what tough roster decisions might be coming this offseason?

Meanwhile, Joe, Kassie, and the full crew dive headfirst into the WNBA, Unrivaled, and women’s college basketball, asking tough questions about Audi Crooks’ defensive ability several games removed from the now-infamous ESPN TikTok clip. They also highlight Williams’ 40+ point performance against Cincinnati and break down the Oklahoma women’s basketball team’s overtime thriller over South Carolina, with Chavez proving she’s a certified gamer with a scorching hot hand. Where do the Sooners go from here?

On the men’s side, the crew discusses the ongoing struggles of Oklahoma men’s basketball, the pressure mounting on Porter Moser, and whether this could be his final season at the helm. Plus, don’t miss the wild ride of the Oklahoma State Cowboys hockey team, who are absolutely dismantling opponents with eye-popping scores.

🔥 All this and more on one of the biggest, episodes yet of Pryor to the Snap — lock in and let’s talk sports.

This is a HUGE episode of Pryor to the Snap featuring Kassie Stevens, LaShaun Pryor, and Joe Corley, and it kicks off with a moment Joe Corley won’t forget—finding out live on the show that he’s been nominated for Entertainer of the Year in the 2026 Edmond, Oklahoma Community Votes awards… in the same category as Kassie Stevens. Two hosts. One category. Nothing but excitement and laughs.

From there, the crew dives deep into women’s college basketball, breaking down Oklahoma vs. LSU, the Lady Tigers’ 2–3 conference start, and whether LSU can find the footing they need to make a strong push toward March.

The conversation turns to Iowa State and Audi Crooks, as the Cyclones sit on a four-game losing streak. Is Iowa State in real danger of missing the NCAA Tournament? With video now exposing Crooks’ defensive limitations and opponents adjusting to her low-post game, the panel asks the tough question—where does Iowa State go from here?

LaShaun goes on a full-on rant (in the best way) about Unrivaled, delivering a technical breakdown of the games he’s watched and why the fundamentals, mechanics, and overall progression of women’s basketball in that league far surpass some of what we’ve seen on TV in past years. He also explains why Unrivaled—and the upcoming Project B—could be serious trouble for the WNBA in the near future when it comes to competing for players.

The show shifts gears to college football, including Dylan Raiola’s transfer to Oregon to serve as a backup behind Dante Moore. Was leaving Nebraska as the starter a smart long-term move, or a risky gamble? The crew also debates the future of the NCAA, questioning whether it still serves a real purpose in modern college football, while addressing transfer portal madness and the growing number of players left without a team.

Kassie and Joe deliver a detailed Nebraska and Oklahoma football portal breakdown, highlighting what fans should actually be excited about and sharing the latest updates from both programs.

The episode wraps with a spotlight on Oklahoma high school football, specifically the McLoud boys program, where Joe’s son Ben Corley coaches—plus an open invitation for Ben to join the show as Pryor to the Snap’s newest basketball expert.

All of this from a show that’s currently Top 20 on Player FM for Best Women’s Basketball Podcasts.

Big news. Big debates. Big energy.
