Podcast appearances and mentions of Charlie Villanueva

In this week's basketball coaching conversation, Blair Academy head coach Joe Mantegna shares his insights on teaching the game and radical transparency.Since arriving at Blair in 1999, Mantegna has transformed the school into a national prep basketball powerhouse. Under his leadership, Blair boasts an impressive record of 464-159, securing 16 Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) titles and 21 trips to the NJ prep “A” state finals, with state championships in 2009, 2011, 2014, 2019, and 2024.Blair's program has produced six NBA players, including Luol Deng '03 and Charlie Villanueva '03, who both played in the 2003 McDonald's All-American Game. Additionally, nine Blair alums have participated in the NCAA Final Four, with three winning National Championships. Over 80 players have moved on to Division I rosters, while ten have played professionally overseas. Many former players also coach at the NBA, NCAA, and prep school levels.Before Blair, Coach Mantegna was an assistant coach at four colleges, including Boston University and Lehigh University. His extensive coaching experience also includes international success. In 2023, he helped lead the South Sudan Men's National Team to three wins at the World Cup in Manila, a historic achievement for African basketball, qualifying them for the 2024 Paris Olympics. At the Olympics, South Sudan became the second African nation to ever win a basketball game.Mantegna's international coaching accolades include guiding the USA team at the 2022 NIKE Hoop Summit to victory and assisting South Sudan to a fifth-place finish at the 2021 FIBA AfroBasket. He also played a key role in South Sudan's qualification for the 2023 FIBA World Championships in Asia. Additionally, Mantegna served as the defensive coordinator for the U.S.-Select U-18 team at the Albert Schweitzer Games in Germany in 2014 and 2016, later becoming the head coach in 2018.

He recounts how Coach K got him to come to Duke and discusses his Blue Devil experience. Luol also reflects on being one of the longest tenured Bulls ever, and looks back at those talented Bulls teams led by Derrick Rose — and just how special that stretch was for Chicago. He also touches on South Sudan's performance in the Paris Olympics.

Know the name? If not then tap in and think of Team Canada, University of Virginia, Iowa State and all the way to the Philadelphia 76ers. Marial has years ahead of him and after a positive season with the Maine Celtics, he looks forward to signing somewhere soon. Marial takes us back to his time growing up in Ottawa being surrounded by four siblings (two who were serious hoopers), and his father who is a former D1 basketball player. In his Grade 12 year, Marial made the decision to move from St. Patrick's high school to the storied program at Blair Academy in New Jersey, where names like Luol Deng and Charlie Villanueva also attended. From there the decision on which school to attend became a tough one. After committing to Marquette, then head coach Buzz Williams left for Virginia Tech so Marial decided to attend the University of Virginia instead. Some great insight and thoughts about his three years there, but in the end he ultimately decided to transfer for his senior year at Iowa State where he averaged 19 ppg in 2018-19, was an Associate Press Honorable Mention All-American and BIG 12 Tournament MVP. The ups, downs and in-between are all in Episode 110. Marial shows great reflection and understanding of who he is all while staying positive and reflecting on where he's come. Anyone in the Ottawa region check out the showcase we have shared and support Marial's push to grow the game! We wish him nothing but the best going forward, Episode 110 is live!

Ryan talks with 11-year NBA vet Charlie Villanueva about the time they got into it during a game and both got ejected. Charlie talks about playing against a young LeBron James before he was a top prospect, defending Kobe during his 81-point game, and why Nikola Jokic is one of the best centers to ever do it.  NBA Rookie Life with Ryan Hollins is a production of iHeartMedia and the NBASee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Khalid and Jamal are joined by legendary Blair Academy head coach, Joe Mantegna. Mantegna talks about how it all started for him, coaching the likes of Charlie Villanueva, Luol Deng and Royal Ivey as a young coach, the state of the global game, having coached the USA Nike Hoop Summit Team, and much more.

As a player, Joe Mantegna says he was the college basketball equivalent of Rudy. But even before his playing days at Ithaca College were over, the coaching seeds sown by his father, who's in the Massachusetts Basketball Hall of Fame, had begun to germinate, and he soon found himself on the sidelines at Boston University and Lehigh University. But when he came to a fork in the road, he decided that he wanted to have the same kind of impact on teenagers' lives as his dad had, and so took the head coaching job at Blair Academy. It's rare for a rookie high school coach to win immediately, and more unusual still to be blessed with pro-level talent, but Joe had both when future All-Star Luol Deng and longtime NBA vet Charlie Villanueva showed up in his first recruiting class. Since then, Mantegna has built Blair into a national powerhouse, winning four national titles and, more importantly, developing many more high quality young men. In this can't miss episode, Joe gets raw about: What moves him when he thinks about the players whose lives he has touchedHow rooming with future NBA coach Steve Clifford gave him a coaching masterclass Why he teamed up with Royal Ivey and Luol Deng to coach the South Sudan national teamWhat role the principles of grit,  gratitude,  joyfulness + selflessness play in Blair's cultureHow mudita - finding joy in other people's success - is his team's equivalent of Doc Rivers's UbuntuKeep learning from Joe on his Twitter feed and at his basketball camps.

In Episode 1136, Sean Woodley is joined by Amit Mann (Yahoo Sports Canada) to attempt to contextualize Scottie Barnes' incredible rookie season within the history of Raptors rookie performances. Off the top, they talk about what they've both enjoyed most about the Barnes experience, and why Barnes' malleability as a player should keep the Raptors from funneling him down a narrow development track. Next, they look back at some other great rookie seasons in Toronto Raptors history and try to figure out where Barnes slots in on the all-time list. Damon Stoudamire and Vince Carter are the two clear best rookies the team has ever had, but is Barnes a comfortable third? What about Marcus Camby, Chris Bosh, Charlie Villanueva or OG Anunoby? To wrap up, Sean and Amit preview the Raptors' games against the injured by still very dangerous Phoenix Suns and the Nikola Jokic-led Denver Nuggets on Firday and Saturday.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!PrizePicksCheck out PrizePicks.com and use promo code: “NBA” or go to your app store and download the app today.

We are starting 2022 hot! Any hoop head from the early 2000's era will appreciate this one. J.R. Giddens is our first guest of the year (and season 3) for an episode that you don't want to miss. Giddens was a McDonald's All-American in a STACKED class that featured LeBron James, CP3, Charlie Villanueva, Kendrick Perkins, Luol Deng and MANY others. He played his college hoops at both Kansas and New Mexico before being selected in the first round by the Boston Celtics and went on to have a great career in both the NBA and overseas. He shares great stories about growing up in OKC, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, the business of professional basketball, wild experiences overseas, coaching and MUCH more.Big thanks to Coach Giddens for taking the time to share his story and of all his experiences in the game. He was truly as real and candid as it gets along with plenty of laughs. Don't you dare ask if he has “hung it up” though. He still has the bounce, the game and, competitive fire and we have a feeling we will see him back on the court real soon. No better way to kick off season 3 and the new year.Thank you Coach Giddens!You can find this episode on Apple, Spotify or any source for podcasts.Follow us on social media for news, updates and highlight reels!Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/notin.myhouse.79Instagram- @Not_in_my_house_podcastTwitter - @NOTINMYHOUSEpc

Le Calendrier de l'Avent des Chroniques de Motor City - Jour 5

"Bouffonnerie. C'est de la bouffonnerie. Vous tous, vous savez ce que cela signifie ?" C'est avec ces mots que Tayshaun Prince a qualifier la décision de son coach John Kuester de ne pas laisser une seule minute à Rip Hamilton lors d'un match contre les Memphis Grizzlies le 12 janvier 2011. Mais comment cette équipe des Pistons championne en 2004 en est-elle arrivé là ? C'est le programme de cette nouvelle Chronique de Motor City, rétrospective de la saison 2011 des Detroit Pistons. Peu de gens se rappellent la fin de cette période. On sait qu'après minimum 6 Finales de Conférence, les Pistons ont perdu au premier tour en 2009, puis ont raté les les playoffs lors des 2 saisons suivantes en 2010 et en 2011. Mais ces échecs sont plutôt attribué au trade d'Iverson ou aux recrutements de Ben Gordon et Charlie Villanueva. Pourtant la saison 2011 des Pistons a été la vraie fin de cette Goin To Work Era. Avec le recrutement de John Kuester comme coach, la zizanie est apparue dans le vestiaire : remise en cause des choix de l'entraineur, vétérans qui contrôlent les plus jeunes, critiques ouvertes dans la presse... Les Pistons de cette époque ont fait parler d'eux pour de très mauvaises raisons. Le point d'orgue de cette saison sera la mutinerie de février 2011, quand 7 joueurs des Pistons ne se présenteront pas au shootaround du matin alors que l'équipe doit affronter les 76ers le soir même. Ces joueurs (Rip Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince, Ben Wallace, Rodney Stuckey, Tracy McGrady, Chris Wilcox et Austin Daye) monteront une vraie grève contre leur coach... Pour aller plus loin : Pistons season in review: It would have been difficult to miss all the 'buffoonery' Pistons' Revolt Embarrassing To Team, City Pistons coach John Kuester can't survive much longer with team in constant turmoil John Kuester talks Pistons stint "Les Chroniques de Motor City", c'est votre podcast dédié à l'Histoire et à la Culture des Detroit Pistons.

Kemba Walker's 2011 national champions and Charlie Villanueva's 2005 Big East regular season champions provide a striking contrast in style. On one side you have an unexpectedly talented, extremely young team that emerged as national champions seemingly out of nowhere. On the other side you have a group physically comparable to the Monstars who set out to defend their title and ultimately fell short.It's no question which of these teams would win in a popularity contest, but if you stop and think for more than a moment, do we really know which of these teams would come out on top? That's the question Tim Fontenault and I will set out to answer as we discuss the 2011 and 2005 teams in our 4 vs. 13 matchup. Like what you hear? Want to offer feedback?

Personne ne peut rien dire sur Joe Dumars, le basketteur des Detroit Pistons. Double champion, membre des Bad Boys, backcourt de folie avec Isiah Thomas et record All-Time de match joué avec les Pistons sur 2 décennies, bref Dumars est un joueur incontournable. Mais le sujet qui nous intéresse aujourd'hui concerne plutôt son passage comme General Manager des Pistons, poste qu'il a occupé de 2000 à 2014. Pendant 14 ans, Joe Dumars a été le chef des Detroit Pistons, à la tête de toutes les opérations basket de la franchise. Et cette fois-ci, l’expérience a été un peu plus contrastée. Du fait de la longueur de son mandat, les Pistons ont beaucoup changé et Joe Dumars a eu le temps d'accumuler les échecs tout comme les réussites. Alors pour ce podcast, j'ai choisi de compiler toutes les grandes décisions stratégiques du GM Dumars et essayer d'en tirer une conclusion. A savoir, est-il un manager de génie ou plutôt une arnaque ? Les deux cotés de la balance sont bien remplis chez Joe Dumars. A son crédit, évidemment le titre 2004 remporté par Detroit, le 3ème de l'Histoire de la franchise seulement. Mais plus que ça, il y a surtout la construction d'une équipe qui gagne avec les arrivées réussies de Ben Wallace, Tayshaun Prince, Chauncey Billups et Rip Hamilton. C'est également Dumars qui a osé faire venir Rasheed Wallace en 2004, un trade crucial dont on a consacré tout un épisode des Chroniques de Motor City. De l'autre coté du spectre, il y a de nombreuses erreurs de Joe Dumars qu'on ne peut occulter. Le GM des Detroit Pistons a globalement raté tous ces hauts choix de draft et a souvent semblé hésitant sur le marché des agents libres. Les erreurs de Ben Gordon, Charlie Villanueva ou Josh Smith sont encore assez récentes pour hanter tous les fans des Pistons. On peut également regretter que le mauvais relationnel de Joe Dumars avec l'ensemble de ses coachs, ces derniers ayant été nombreux durant son mandat. Une fois ce podcast terminé, vous devriez avoir les clés pour décider si Joe Dumars mérite d'être considéré comme un bon GM. Même s'il faudra attendre encore plusieurs années pour savoir comment l'Histoire le jugera. Pour aller plus loin : - The highs and lows of Joe Dumars' long Pistons tenure - Joe Dumars : de joueur vénéré à GM contesté - Ranking Joe Dumars' Worst Moves as Detroit Pistons GM - Remembering the Joe Dumars Era "Les Chroniques de Motor City", c'est votre podcast dédié à l'Histoire et à la Culture des Detroit Pistons. Ensemble, nous voyageons dans le temps pour découvrir ou re-découvrir les moments qui ont compté dans la vie de la Franchise. Podcast humblement piloté par @PistonsFR

We’re kicking off season 2 of Uncreative Radio with special guest Charlie Villanueva! Charlie Villanueva is a longtime friend of the studio. We’ve worked with him on a number of projects in the past, and most recently on our History Matters series where he shares the life and legacy of Michael Jordan. In this episode of Uncreative Radio, Charlie V joined us in the studio to discuss his life’s passion, the culture of the sport and the players who made the greatest impact on his game. But that’s not all… we’re also discussing life after basketball and the change in responsibilities that come with retirement. According to Charlie V, “Money doesn’t make the man.” And he’s correct. But many people who see early success don’t realize this simple fact until it’s too late. Charlie V did. He knew that basketball would not last forever and so he set himself up for success and prosperity when the time would come to hang his jersey. He had a plan and he put it in motion. Athletes or young stars who fail to see the inevitable put themselves at a disadvantage later in life. Charlie V shares many valuable lessons with us, so be sure to tune in on February 6th at 6 PM ET.

We’re on Uncreative Radio with Rob Villanueva to discuss why successful athletes go broke, the fake veil of Instagram, and how creative professionals can improve their online presence. Rob Villanueva is a creative consultant based in New York City. He is an expert at building brands for professional athletes and businesses that produce far-reaching financial benefits. Rob Villanueva started out in I.T. in the world of PC. By the time he was 14, he was being paid for his I.T. work. From there, he got into network engineering, which started him on a 15-year career that led to Silicon Valley. Technology was his life right up until his brother, Charlie Villanueva, was drafted to the NBA. He quit his job. And started a new career which eventually brought him to the world of creative brand consulting. On this episode of Uncreative Radio with Rob Villanueva, Rob shares his experience living alongside professional athletes in the NBA and how early decision making decides one’s financial future forever. It’s all fun and games when a relative, a close friend, or even you get drafted to live out lifelong dreams of playing in the big league of sports. But at what point should that excitement be channeled into planning for one’s future? When Rob Villanueva’s brother was drafted to play for the Toronto Raptors, he followed him to the NBA. He enjoyed the excitement and partying. Who wouldn’t? Looking back, however, he realizes how many obvious money-making opportunities he failed to capitalize on. Or, in his words, “We should all be millionaires right now.” Rob did not take advantage of those early years. A lot of the athletes in his company didn’t.
