I stumbled across this podcast when I was searching for advice and help on coaching a 3rd grade boys basketball teams. I have learned so many valuable things from the short time I’ve been listening to this podcast. Whether you are a veteran coach or a rookie coach you will gain valuable knowledge from these basketball masterminds!

This podcast gives a wealth of information on coaching youth basketball, especially for first timers like myself. They take a little too long at the beginning of each show to dive into the material. And I wish their shows were longer. But overall, it’s been very helpful to me.
Mdoyle100 · Feb 2023
Bill and Steve provide a fun breakdown of common scenarios found in the youth game with real world examples of how to address them. Shows are brief and to the point. I’ve gained quite a few tips from listening.
AK Lefty · Nov 2022
