Ultimate Hoops Podcast

2020 Ultimate Hoops Hall of Fame nominee Quincy Young discusses his UH career, his greatest rivalries and his memories of playing in the first Ultimate Hoops League game in history on March 27, 2006.

Young also talks about his past runaway hit podcast, ON THE BENCH, and the rumored reboot of the show.

Ultimate Hoops' Alan Arlt is joined by Ultimate Hoops Hall of Famers Reid Nelson and Izzy Elkaffas in the UHHQ studio to discuss and honor the 2020 Hall Of Fame inductees Dustin Dupont and L.C. Comine. Then Alan, Reid and Izzy speculate about who will be elected in 2021, who they'll be campaigning for, and if the voting process is too restrictive.

The last few episodes have been Minnesota specific but this week we move East, to Ultimate Hoops Boston to talk to Taylor Pettiford and Roland Millien.

This was a special episode. Considering everything that has gone in this country in the last week, It was helpful to talk, and more importantly, LISTEN to two people who I respect and admire in our UH Nation community.

Ro, Taylor, and myself left our conversation with the consensus that basketball is really missed in this country right now. The opportunity to play a sport and connect with people of all races, all backgrounds. To share a laugh and a high-five playing a game we all love.

We recorded this LIVE episode yesterday, June 3rd via our Ultimate Hoops Nation Facebook Group.. If you want to rewatch the podcast contribute to the conversation and comments, join our Ultimate Hoops Nation Facebook Group.

Ultimate Hoops Hall-of-Famers Izzy Elkaffas and Joe Neuenfeldt return to the podcast to discuss which Minnesota Recreational Division players deserve to be in the UH Hall-of-Fame. Izzy also responds Jonathon "Hot Tub" Moore's comments in last week's Episode 9. Moore called Izzy a "dirty player" for his trip of Justin Montzka in 2013 game and other alleged infractions.

In this week's episode, we continue to look back on the UH league's rich history and talk with the legends who played in the league's early days.

Jonathon "Hot Tub" Moore arrived like a comet in the UH world on May 10, 2007 as rookie in our Minnesota flagship league. Half basketball player, half entertainer, "Hot Tub" provided some of the most memorable moments on the court and off.

Moore's last Ultimate Hoops game was in September 2015. Since then, he's been reclusive to the UH world, rarely seen or heard from. But today, he's back. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, 6-time Gold Cup UH League Champion, Jonathon "Hot Tub" Moore!

Since the Ultimate Hoops League first launched in Minneapolis on March 28, 2006, there have been hundreds of teams who have competed in our various leagues in Minnesota.

After 14 years, what team franchises are the most memorable in Minnesota's rich history?

Izzy Elkaffas and Ahmed Helmy, who first joined the Minnesota's Ultimate Hoops League in 2011, join Alan to discuss the great Minnesota teams of the past.

This is a part of our new Facebook Live series hosted on our UH365 Facebook Group.

There are 10 athletes on on basketball court and only one basketball with players required to move off the ball at all times. Setting screens, moving around defenders, looking for open lanes and fighting to get space are all staples of the game.

All of these movements made in basketball have a direct correlation to movements made in the game of soccer.

On this episode, Brandon Busbee, National Soccer Manager for Life Time, enters the UH studio to chat about the parallels between the game of soccer and basketball and how playing both can help your game on the hardcourt and the pitch.
