Jackson and Gilly are back this week with a loaded show for the people this week. The gents kick things off by breaking down the latest CSA coaching carousel update, as former Georgetown head coach Tim Lasusa has accepted the head coaching position at Connecticut College. Gilly and Jackson talk through the huge acquisition for the Conn Camels and the fallout for the Hoyas women’s program. They also discuss last week’s Platinum PSA event in Paris and Gilly provides a Liverpool FC update (0:25). 

Then, Gilly and Jackson welcome a good friend onto the show for the first time. If there was a squash documentary series modeled after the NFL Network’s A Football Life, Bill Buckingham would be one of the first subjects of A Squash Life. Buckingham has a fascinating life in squash, with his first taste of the sport coming in the form of watching Dave Talbott’s Yale teams of the early 2000s. Fast forward 20 plus years; Buckingham is one of the most prominent MCs in squash, and, alongside Denison HUGE RED alumni Connor O'Malley, cohost of Squash Radio, one of the sport’s most prominent podcasts. Wild Bill, as lead PSA commentator Joey Barrington calls his PSA colleague, joins Squash University to talk about his involvement in the National Squash League, his thoughts on the CSA Individuals being moved to the middle of the season, his top 5 squash podcasts, the top 3 things he’d change about college squash, his top 3 favorite men’s and women’s CSA players of all time (We’re big list guys here at Squash University), and more. Bill is definitely a character, to say the least, and it was a blast to have him on the show (26:34)! 

As always, thanks for listening and... Enjoy!
