The Rant

When catching up with Samera she’ll do anything for the game that she loves - Basketball. In this pod, we discuss her roots in NYC, her high school and collegiate career, how she got into coaching, how she almost officiated, and what it is like to coach Division 1 Basketball during Covid 19. All that and more, my conversation with Coach Marsh, now.

Shout out to Chad Marchong. If it wasn't for hi some 15 years ago, perhaps I would have never played Basketball again; hell - I may have never officiated. In this pod, we catch up and discuss what he's been up to during the pandemic, the Senate Run Off in his adopted home state of Georgia, his Basketball exploits when we were younger, running, and what the future holds. All that and more, my conversation with Chad, now.

It’s been a pandemic ago since I’ve seen Shay. In this pod, we catch up in her home to find out what she’s been up to during the Pandemic, how here family stuck together, and got closer, her self-revelations, and coaching and reffing Basketball, any time she can. Part 2 with Shay, now.

2020 has been filled with, for me at least, all sorts of not reffing. That doesn’t mean that I haven’t been connected with officiating. As the Holiday’s reach it’s end, and we start anew with a New Year, we take a bit of my Zoom sessions with Bernard Bowen Sr. of Bball Referees and bring to you, attacking the rule book with Al Battista. Happy New Year! Al Battista, attacking the rule book, now.

As a young official, Al was ahead of his time. Now, he’s right on time. In this pod, we delve deep into his roots in officiating, his early life, his pursuit to becoming encyclopedic with the rules, his stint as a collegiate official and rules interpreter, and how he got to the NBA and ties it all together to give back to the officiating community. With my special co-host Bernard Bowen Sr., our conversation with Al, now.

We took it back to the old school, as Tab and Nav both chop it up with me on #therant.

All that and more, my conversation with Nav and Tab, now.
