Shooters Touch

If you’re from Central Iowa and you follow the basketball scene you probably know who Kevin O’Hare is. If you don’t, you may not have heard of him. He’s been pouring into the younger generation of basketball players for more than 20 years now. Why? Because he gets to be one of the first people that starts their mold as a basketball player. He’s trained ballers like Caitlyn Clark as well as many more! This was a great chat with a true hoop head.

FAW #2 will cover everything from high school hoops to the NBA. The Hawkeyes lay an egg in Ann Arbor. Should the Lakers be worried? Tyler Cook to the Nets and much more! Don’t forget about the Picks and Roll, our very amateur betting advice.

Shooters Touch fans, do we have a episode for you! Stevie Johnson joins us to talk hoops(and a little pigskin) this week. Not only does Stevie have a super interesting story, but he was so fun to talk to! Reminiscing about the teams he played on, players he played with and opponents he played against was another walk down memory lane for us. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

On your commute home? Making some dinner for your family? Maybe enjoying a cold one relaxing after a long week? Whatever it is, The Shooters Touch is here to fill your earbuds! Our FAW episodes are shorter and cover current events. Enjoy!

Kenyon Murray didn’t start his basketball journey until very late compared to others around him, but that didn’t stop him from becoming Mr. Basketball in the state of Michigan his Senior year. He wound up in Iowa City where he was standout for the Tom Davis lead Hawkeye team. Even though Kenyon will always be a Hawkeye, his 2 sons following in Dad’s footsteps and playing basketballs Iowa currently makes it a lot easier!

Michael Admire has been strategic about every move he’s made in his career. From choosing Des Moines over warmer locations to essentially creating his position at Drake. He knew he wanted to be in broadcasting very early and made it happen. And now, he’s the voice of the 25th ranked Drake Bulldogs! An atypical guest for us, but a great story and a passionate Des Moines resident. Enjoy!

Brad Bjorkgren has just under 30 years of coaching experience at Urbandale High School and Simpson College. He’s coached players like Tyler and Josh McKinney, as well as Allen Lazard. He values relationships and what he really enjoys is seeing his players succeed after basketball. Enjoy!

Fresh off his 450th win, Bruce Dall hops on with us to talk his upbringing, coaching philosophies and why he would ever leave AGWSR(spoiler, it’s a good reason). It’s very evident from our conversation that Coach Dall values the relationships he forms from coaching and that is something that’s constantly on his mind.

Coaching has been in Kristin Meyers life for as long as she can remember. Her start came coaching volleyball and eventually moving into coaching her true passion, basketball! She has had plenty of great mentors along the way and ha also coached some incredible athletes.
