Podcast appearances and mentions of Breanna Stewart

BREANNA STEWART JUST. KEEPS. WINNING.  Four World Cup golds. Three WNBA titles. Three Olympic golds. And she's NEVER lost a game in the NCAA tournament, Olympics, or World Cup?! And that's just the beginning...

This week Andrew talks with Geno Auriemma — the legendary head coach of the University of Connecticut women's basketball program. Since 1985, Geno has led UConn to 12 NCAA National Championships, 25 Final Fours, 6 perfect seasons, & 61 conference championships. This conversation is an incredible behind-the-scenes look at how an immigrant who came to the US at 7 years old rose to the top of his craft. Geno also shares a raw, vulnerable, & deeply reflective look at the joys of success — and the tension that so often comes in tandem. Get ready for a masterclass from the winningest coach in college basketball history on leadership, lifting others up, & building something bigger than yourself. ** Follow Andrew **Instagram: @AndrewMoses123X: @andrewhmosesSign up for e-mails to keep up with the podcast at everybodypullsthetarp.com/newsletterDISCLAIMER: This podcast is solely for educational & entertainment purposes.

AP national women's basketball writer Doug Feinberg joins the Hoopsology Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation covering two of the biggest stories in the sport right now: Cathy Engelbert's surprise retirement as WNBA Commissioner and Team USA's up-and-down run at the FIBA Women's World Cup in Berlin. Feinberg, who sat down with Engelbert for a 25-minute exit interview, breaks down why she's stepping away after seven and a half years on the job, what she considers her biggest accomplishment (the transformative CBA that delivered million-dollar salaries and codified charter flights), and why the media narrative around her role in those negotiations doesn't match what actually happened in the room. He also discusses the toll public criticism has taken on her family, what the league is looking for in a successor, the upcoming wave of expansion teams in Cleveland, Detroit, and Philadelphia, and why the so-called transgender "controversy" isn't the issue some want it to be, in Engelbert's own words. The conversation then shifts overseas, where Feinberg is covering Team USA's title defense in person. He explains what really happened in the tense battle with Italy, why Breanna Stewart's leadership steadied a young roster built around Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers, Sonia Citron, and Angel Reese, and teases new reporting on Caitlin and Angel's real relationship. Plus: the case for Belgium and China as tournament dark horses, host nation Germany's run, and how the WNBA's 2028 Olympic roster might take shape under new USA Basketball managing director Sue Bird. If you follow the WNBA, Team USA basketball, or women's basketball in general, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.

Katelyn (@coldlunchcards) sits down with Jenny (@wsportscollector) to explore her Seattle Storm collection.Jenny shares how moving to Seattle during the 2020 championship season connected her to the team. She explains why she narrowed her collection, how she chooses cards, and why eye appeal matters more than a serial number.They also discuss Sue Bird, Lauren Jackson, Breanna Stewart, Jewell Loyd, the Storm's next generation, and the opportunity to collect a team during a rebuild.Jenny tells the story of winning Panini's WNBA Player of the Day promotion and opening cards alongside Cynthia Cooper.

Team USA survived a rough shooting night against Italy, then throttled Czechia to finish Group Play undefeated. Now, the Americans turn their attention to Thursday's Quarterfinals as they await their next opponent. Brittany Carper and Marisa Ingemi discuss that and more.HerHoopStats.com: Unlocking better insight about the women's game.The Her Hoop Stats Newsletter: https://herhoopstats.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

With the 2026 FIBA Women's World Cup underway in Berlin, Hoopsology brings in freelance women's basketball journalist Eden Laase (The Athletic, Yahoo Sports) for a deep dive into the tournament's biggest storylines — starting with the team many believe is Team USA's most legitimate challenger yet: France. Eden breaks down exactly how France built its current golden generation, pointing to a rare convergence of elite young talent (Dominique Malonga, Pauline Astier, and Carla Leite among them), the country's growing investment in basketball academies like INSEP, and the outsized influence of Gabby Williams — an American-born naturalized French star who brought a new competitive swagger to the program. Eden also credits Marine Johannes with opening the WNBA pipeline for French players despite pushback from the French federation, a decision that's paid off with France entering the knockout rounds a perfect 3-0 and ranked the tournament's second favorite behind the US, according to Eden, just ahead of a talented Belgium team led by Emma Meesseman and Julie Allemand. The two dig into what makes France so dangerous — elite team defense anchored by Defensive Player of the Year candidate Gabby Williams, and a roster that came within a single point of beating Team USA at the Paris 2024 gold medal game — as well as where they're vulnerable: interior size and a reliance on three-point shooting that may not hold up all tournament long. The conversation turns to Team USA, playing without four-time MVP A'ja Wilson, and the very real chemistry questions that surfaced in a shaky group-stage win over Italy before Breanna Stewart stepped up as a go-to scorer against the Czech Republic. Eden explains why the influx of international players into the WNBA has fundamentally changed the psychology of these matchups, with rival national teams no longer intimidated by facing their own WNBA teammates and opponents. From there, the two zoom out to discuss the broader globalization of women's basketball, including the WNBA's international expansion ambitions, Cathy Engelbert's retirement, League Pass making the league accessible worldwide, and the emergence of alternative leagues like Unrivaled and the mysterious Project B. Eden closes with a scouting report on under-the-radar teams to watch, including a surprising Hungary squad and a South Korea team on the rise, before offering casual viewers a simple way to appreciate the tournament: watch how each country's culture shows up in how its team plays.

Behind a quartet of double-figure scorers and Caitlin Clark's double-double, Team USA routed China 94-61 in its World Cup opener. Brittany Carper and Tyler DeLuca break it all down and more.

Hoopsology sits down with Matthew Hamachek, co-director (alongside Erica Sashin) of Apple TV's new three-part docuseries "The Dynasty: UConn Huskies," premiering today, to go behind the scenes of one of the most anticipated sports documentaries of the year. The conversation opens with Hoopsology's signature tradition — asking guests for their favorite basketball memory — where Matthew shares a story about attending Washington Bullets games with his dad and a memorable superfan who used to yell "lousy, lousy, lousy" at the refs. From there, the two dig into the now-famous opening scene of the documentary, where Matthew asks Geno Auriemma to take off his squeaky shoes during their first-ever interview, and how that small, tense exchange set the tone for the entire filmmaking process — including the 15 hours of interviews Matthew and Erica conducted with one of the most guarded figures in college sports. Matthew opens up about the deeper story he uncovered about Geno's childhood — immigrating from Italy as a young boy, not speaking English, feeling like an outsider on the playground, and developing the belief that winning was the way to belong. That psychological throughline, Matthew explains, is the real engine behind Geno's coaching intensity decades later. The conversation goes deep on Paige Bueckers' arc across the series — her injury struggles, panic attacks, the pressure of being anointed UConn's savior, and an intense, largely unknown film-session confrontation with Geno after a loss to Tennessee that nearly broke their relationship before culminating in an emotional "I love you"/"I hate you" moment after winning the national championship. The two also discuss how Geno's coaching has had to evolve in the social media era — particularly with Paige Bueckers navigating fame as an influencer in a way previous UConn stars like Diana Taurasi and Rebecca Lobo never had to — and how Breanna Stewart, Sue Bird, and other alumni describe the uniquely brutal, "us against him" dynamic of playing for Geno. Matthew reflects on his broader documentary career (including "The Dynasty: New England Patriots," a Tiger Woods documentary, and the Amanda Knox story) and explains why sports documentaries, more than almost any other genre, hinge on earning a subject's trust before the real vulnerability comes through. This is a must-listen for any UConn fan, women's basketball fan, or documentary lover who wants the real story behind the cameras — straight from the person who spent a season living inside it.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 624Directors: Matthew Hamachek and Erica Sashin | “The Dynasty: UConn Huskies” Directed by Emmy Award-winning Matthew Hamachek and Emmy Award-nominated Erica Sashin, the series combines rare archival footage, intimate interviews, and behind-the-scenes access to UConn's 2024–25 championship season. It features all-new interviews with basketball greats Sue Bird, Paige Bueckers, Swin Cash, Azzi Fudd, Rebecca Lobo, Maya Moore, Jennifer Rizzotti, Breanna Stewart, Diana Taurasi, and more.Premiering globally on Apple TV this Friday, August 21, 2026, “The Dynasty: UConn Huskies” is a three-part documentary series chronicling 40 years of the most dominant program in women's college basketball. Under Hall of Fame head coach Geno Auriemma, the University of Connecticut Huskies have won more NCAA Division I basketball national championships than any other program, men's or women's, and have produced generations of players who have helped redefine the sport.

SNY's top 10 New York athletes list has Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber furious over rankings they believe are inconsistent, biased and impossible to defend. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber, as they question how Brian Burns and Matthew Schaefer were left out while Josh Hart, Francisco Lindor and Breanna Stewart made the cut. Even OG Anunoby's placement above Karl-Anthony Towns comes under fire. The conversation then shifts to England's World Cup collapse against Argentina. Tiki explains how Thomas Tuchel's decision to sit back in a low defensive block gave Lionel Messi the space to take over, turning a one-goal lead into a prevent-defense disaster.

SNY's top 10 New York athletes list sends Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber into a full-blown revolt. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber, and while Jalen Brunson and Aaron Judge are accepted as the obvious top two, the rest of the rankings are ripped apart for their glaring inconsistencies. Brian Burns and Matthew Schaefer are labeled outrageous omissions, while the placements of Josh Hart, Francisco Lindor and Breanna Stewart turn the debate into an argument over performance, popularity and SNY's potential bias. Tiki also explains how England's prevent-style defense gave Lionel Messi the space to engineer Argentina's comeback, sparking a countdown of the worst coaching decisions in sports history. Plus, Shaun challenges soccer's mysterious stoppage-time clock, the show examines the Yankees' financial maneuvering, and callers weigh in on whether star power or actual performance should define New York's best athletes.
