Former NCAA Champion and WNBA star, Sylvia Crawley, chronicles in detail her and her teammates National Championship run in 1994 in Part 1 of this 2-Part Podcast. The Tar Heels' Charlotte Smith hit the game winner on a baseline out of bounds play with .7 seconds remaining. You don't want to miss this incredible conversation and why Sylvia feels that losing twice to Virginia while losing the rebounding battle during one of their wins causing them to do 23 suicides the next day at practice helped them win the National Title. She also feels that her legendary coach, Sylvia Hatchell was instrumental in leading the charge.

In part 2, Sylvia and Hoot discuss her childhood and how she learned to be tough and never quit from her parents, in particular her father, who worked for the Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel Mill. You don't want to miss our very famous rapid fire, "This or That" at the end where she reveals her thoughts on Paige, Candace, Kobe, Pat, and other influencers in the Women's basketball space as well as if she prefers popcorn or candy at the movies and French toast, waffles, or pancakes.

Bob Nightengale joined Hoot for this incredible conversation that Bob called one of the most enjoyable podcasts that he's ever done. He talked about his childhood, his view on Pete Rose, the "Steroid Era", why there's been such a disconnect over the past three decades with baseball, and his family. I was truly humbled and honored to share space with him. But it was at the 20:23 mark of the podcast where I was truly blown away. The very famous rapid fire part of the podcast, "This or That" was awesome as well. You won't believe what jersey he would choose if he had to choose one.

Former Minnesota Viking joined Hoot for this incredibly powerful interview. Sean shares what tools are in his toolbox that help him deal with his depression and his father's alcoholism. He's an activist, humanitarian, philanthropist, public speaker, highly successful businessman, and loves dogs. Sean's answers to our very famous rapid fire, "This or That" are fascinating and you won't believe who he would like to see coaching my Detroit Lions (HINT: It's the same person I want coaching them).

Kelsey Trainor, a lawyer, writer, former two-sport intercollegiate athlete, ally, former high school and college basketball coach, pizza lover, who once worked for the hit CBS series Blue Bloods, joined Hoot in The Sports Deli Podcast: Where Everyone (Especially Women) Deserve A Seat At The Table. This polarizing podcast host said she would give it all up if one of her SHEroes, Dawn Staley came callin'. 

You don't want to miss this incredible interview where Kelsey gives us a unique perspective on how the incredible women of the WNBA came to start the "Vote Warnock" campaign while at the same time refusing to mention former Atlanta Dream owner, K*lly Lo*ffler's name which resulted in Georgia being flipped from "Red" to "Blue" while the aforementioned was forced to sell her minority share of the team. Much of the credit should go to Bria Felicien according to Kelsey. Bria is a freelance writer, story collector, and creator and you can find her on Twitter @briafelicien.

You don't want to miss our very famous rapid fire, "This or That" and who Kelsey would have at her dinner table if she could have any 5 people along with her to break bread.

Future Hall-of-Famer, Andre Rison joined Hoot in The Sports Deli Podcast: Where Everyone Deserves a Seat at the Table.

We are so honored to welcome our 17th WNBA Player, 232 days away from the 50th anniversary of Title IX, Chasity Melvin.

On this 3rd Day of National Inspirational Role Models Month,  the pride of Roseboro, North Carolina, shares her incredible journey of faith, near-death experiences, and struggles growing up. 

When her mother told Chasity one day growing up, that there’s no professional women’s basketball leagues, Chasity replied, there will be one day and I’m gonna play. 

But it was her grandmothers that ran the show and inspired her to follow her dreams that she modeled her life after.

Her incredible story of courage and resiliency took her from small town America to several big cities around the world.

Chasity played in the ABL for the philadelphia rage as the 2nd overall pick and then in the WNBA for 12 amazing years. She was one of the pioneers of the W and she also played overseas in Spain, Russia, Poland, South Korea, Italy, Israel, Turkey, and China for 14 years.

She has Coached AAU and high school basketball as well as for the Michael Jordan-owned, Charlotte Hornets’ G League team, the Greensboro Swarm, as an assistant coach in 2018, becoming the first woman to coach in franchise history.

She had planned to coach at Loyola of md for a year but COVID scrapped that idea

She's an Assistant Coach with the Phoenix Mercury where she coaches 3 of the WNBA's best players currently in Brittany Griner, Skylar Diggins-Smith and to many, the GOAT, the greatest of all time, Diana Taurasi.

She's an author and you can find her book, “At the End of the Day,” on Amazon. It’s an unblinking account of the faith that sustained her through bullying, near-death experiences, and struggles of all kinds and it was G-d that inspired her to write the book.

She is stubbornly tenacious and resolute in her beliefs, especially in spaces where people have been systemically marginalized and profiled.

Chasity is the 3rd person from NC State to join us on the show - the other two being Aislinn Konig - future WNBA player and Zee King - professional women's soccer player

She shares a birthday with James Brown and was born the same year as, Peyton Manning, Brad Stevens, Tim Duncan, and former teammates, Nakia Sanford and Betty Lennox

You can find her on Instagram and Twitter @chasitymelvin where she has nearly 10,000 followers

and on her website at chasitymelvin.com

Randy Holcomb from Chicago made it to the highest level and incredibly, played his first and last game of his NBA career for his hometown team, the Chicago Bulls. His parents we're both police officers, and you don't want to miss this incredible discussion about them, especially his dad. Randy has some fascinating opinions on Ben Simmons, Kyrie Irving, and a number of other things from mental health to how ridiculous it is that San Diego State hasn't retired Michael Cage's jersey (and I 100% agree) yet they want to retire Kawhi Leonard's jersey first. He let Coach Fisher, former SDSU Coach know as much as well even though he loves Coach Fish. We discuss social injustice, his upbringing, and a number of other incredible topics and you don't want to miss our very famous rapid fire segment of the podcast, "this or that" where Randy reveals his favorite food that makes him dance at a family picnic, who he would like to play one on one against, and which five people he would like to have at his dinner table if he could choose any five people of all time.
