Episode 094:  Gonzaga has had some unbelievable point guards over the last few decades, with John Stockton being the most notable player.  But John isn’t the all-time leader in assists at GU… It’s actually Josh Perkins.  In the history of Gonzaga Basketball, no one has assisted their teammates more than Josh.  

And so today, I wanted to pick his brain on the mindset of a pass-first player, and learn the drills and tricks he’s added to his toolbox over his playing career.  I asked about how he uses his eyes to talk to teammates and how he balances taking chances, with taking care of the ball.  And my favorite thing about Josh is that he’s not only great at assisting people on the court, he also serves his friends, family and community off the court.

Episode 090: Now today’s interview was bitter sweet because although Rem Bakamus is a Zag at heart, he was part of the Baylor Men’s basketball team that beat us in the National Championship game. 

Rem played for the Zags and was part of our 2017 Final Four team that played North Carolina in the National Championship game.  I thought it would be fun to learn the common success traits that both teams shared, and hear some of the differences in their strength & conditioning program and practice design. 

And I’m so happy for Rem because he just joined Tommy Lloyd’s staff at the University of Arizona!

Episode 088: In this episode I am joined by South Carolina’s Molly Binetti. We talk about Off-season Training for basketball and how impactful it can be for a player’s season.

Molly Binetti joined the University of South Carolina staff in June 2018 as the Performance Coach for the women’s basketball team, under Hall of Fame coach Dawn Staley. Prior to her arrival in Columbia, Molly served four years at the University of Louisville and one year at Purdue University coaching a diverse range of athletes from 11 different sports. 

She is a proud graduate of Marquette University, where she obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Physiology, and the University of Minnesota where she obtained a Master of Education degree in Applied Kinesiology. 

The Eau Claire, WI native is a member of the National Strength and Conditioning Association and Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association, where she holds the CSCS and RSCC, and SCCC certifications, respectively. She has contributed to two publications, both in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, focused on the mechanical and physical determinants of elite women’s basketball players.

Here are some of the questions I asked in the interview:

• Brief overview of how she became the SC strength coach
• How she builds a connection with her players
• How she evaluates her players physically before the season
• How a player can better their shot of making the team
