We’ve been targeting Reed as a guest for a LONG time and we finally made it happen. You’re going to love this episode as Reed talks all things hoops with us.

Elle Riffridge had a storied career at Pocahontas High School. She ended as a state champion and the state’s all time leading scorer. She had already chosen Missouri State as her next stop and packed her bags for Springfield, MO. By the time she left there she had played in 2 sweet 16’s and was recognized as one of the best shooters in the nation! Needless to say, that makes her a perfect guest for our podcast.

Brett Putz, first year head coach and national champion head coach. Not often do you see that accomplishment in your first year, but after talking to him it’s easy to see how it happened. Obviously the team he took over helped, but he is wise beyond his years as a coach. As with many of our guests, we jam on similar connections and Iowa basketball history. Enjoy!

Coming off the teams first NCAA Tournament bid since 2008, Drake Men’s Basketball guard DJ Wilkins joins us. DJ has been a favorite of ours since he’s got to Des Moines so we are excited to bring this episode to you! #DSMHometownteam

Turner Scott is a West Des Moines native who has a tremendous story of overcoming adversity and dealing with expectations. He was a multi sport athlete at Valley high school and talks about how that helped him in his basketball career. Who does Turner think would win a free throw contest between him and former guest(also his coach at Valley and Truman State) Jeff Horner?

Basketball has always been a love of Hannah Fuller. As a lot of athletic families are, the Fuller’s were super competitive, whether it was a game of UNO or hoops! It was great talking to Hannah about how her role has changed over the years and how she spent last year, a year she spent most of it injured.

Jeremey was a great conversation about youth sports, specialization in sports as well as his coaching mentors. Clear Lake has made it to State 2 out of the last 2 years and it’s easy to hear why.

Recently retired from Norwalk High School, Chris Larson amassed 343 wins in 24 years at the helm at Norwalk. He has tremendous stories and really built his program the right way! You’ll enjoy his connection to Drake University and Vets Auditorium, a connection that we didn’t even know was possible!

Brian Frick hasn’t been at Johnston high school long, but he already has some big games under his belt. He just finished 2nd at state and really had his team playing their best basketball towards the end of the year(exactly what you want as a coach). We chat with coach about his path to Johnston where he had some great mentors and coaches under very good coaches.

It’s the best time of the year. That’s right, better than Christmas, New Year’s, and your birthday, it’s March Madness! We devote this podcast to everything that’s going on in the world of basketball. Iowa high school state tournament, black Monday for college coaches and of course, the NCAA tournament. No guest needed!
