Send us Fan MailMost sales reps are lucky to get coaching once a week. What's lost in all the conversations nobody sees? Malcolm Walker-Hendricks, Enterprise Sales Executive at SalesAsk, joins Anya Chrisanthon to talk about AI-powered conversation intelligence built specifically for home building, home renovation, and home improvement - recording every sales appointment, generating follow-up, syncing to your CRM, and giving every rep a personal coach.The flashlight versus the light switch A mystery shop or ride-along is a flashlight in a dark room - a snapshot in time. Continuous coaching hits the light switch on the way in: you see the habits, the patterns, and the path to improvement. Unbiased feedback with full context, after every single conversation.Trained on the industry, not generic AI Handing a generic AI your sales conversations is like eating soup with a fork. SalesAsk's model is trained on over 250,000 successful conversations in home building, home reno, and home improvement - it knows the terminology and what good looks like before it ever learns your company.Multi-session tracking for a 300-day purchase cycle New home sales isn't one conversation - it's OSC to sales agent to design center over months. SalesAsk stitches every conversation together so the buyer never has to say "I want green tile in the washroom" three times. Plus a context brief before every meeting: CRM history, past objections, and what actually matters to this buyer - on your phone or Apple Watch before they walk in.Meet CoachDean (soon to be Agent Dean) The all-knowing personal assistant and sales coach - named for legendary North Carolina coach Dean Smith. Follow-up help, reports from past conversations, and role-playing through Rep Lab, where practice scenarios are scored the same way as game day. As one top-100 builder put it during a slow season: instead of waiting for a mystery shop report, reps practice, practice, practice.The recording question, answered How do reps feel about being recorded? Change the mindset: if you could convert more deals without changing anything in your workflow, would you? And for buyers, Malcolm keeps it simple in any state: "Do you mind if I record our conversation so I don't miss anything in our notes?" The result: a +37% average close rate improvement - driven by speed, follow-up, and sales process adherence.The motorcycle story A buyer went MIA. The rep searched his recorded conversations, found a through-line about an upcoming motorcycle trip, referenced it in a P.S. - and closed the house. We're salespeople, but before that, we're humans.Where it's heading Agentic AI: follow-up done on your behalf, context delivered in a click or two, and the mundane automated so reps spend their time where it matters - closing.Connect with Malcolm on LinkedIn or email malcolm@salesask.com.

ESPN play-by-play commentator Sam Gore joins the Hoopsology Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about his two-decade career covering college basketball, tennis, volleyball, gymnastics, and more. Since joining ESPN in 2004, Gore has become one of the most trusted voices in women's college basketball — and in this episode, he opens up about the moments, people, and philosophy that shaped his career. Gore shares an unforgettable story about the late Pat Summitt, recalling the day his eight-year-old son David jumped a railing to meet the legendary Lady Vols coach — and the extraordinary kindness that followed. He compares Summitt's aura to icons like Billie Jean King and Dean Smith, and reflects on how that encounter still resonates with his son nearly two decades later. The conversation goes deep into the craft of broadcasting: how Gore builds storylines before he ever travels to a game, why he prioritizes human-interest storytelling over pure X's and O's, and how he built his on-air chemistry with WNBA legend and broadcast partner Tamika Catchings. Gore also recounts some of the chaos he's navigated live on air — from a tornado forcing an evacuation mid-broadcast at Auburn, to losing all audio in the final countdown before a March Madness broadcast. Gore also breaks down how much women's college basketball has changed, discussing the impact of NIL and the transfer portal on roster depth, why the sport's culture of connection and community keeps him coming back year after year, and what excites him most about the current state of the game heading into this season. Whether you're a broadcasting fan, a women's college basketball diehard, or just love a great behind-the-scenes sports story, this episode has something for you.

Everything was going great, until it wasn't. Despite looking like a favorite to win the Leagues Cup for most of the tournament so far, a missed PK and a big defensive mistake saw Charlotte FC bounced from Quarterfinal Qualification. Let's talk about it with Dean Smith & Ashley Westwood!

The August 9, 1976 issue of Sports Illustrated closed out the magazine's Montreal Olympics coverage with the headline "Awrright! Bruce Jenner Wins Big" on the cover, capturing Jenner celebrating after his dramatic decathlon victory — a performance that included a world-record total and would go on to define his public identity for decades to come, eventually becoming, in the magazine's own words, "collateral" for a life of endorsements, appearances, and fame. The same issue carried extensive coverage of American athletes across the Games' final events, including a deep look at the U.S. men's Olympic basketball team, which went undefeated en route to gold under Dean Smith, avenging the controversial 1972 loss to the Soviet Union with a disciplined, deliberately low-ego roster that included future NBA standouts like Adrian Dantley, Phil Ford, and Quinn Buckner. Together, Jenner's individual triumph and the basketball team's collective one bookended a Sports Illustrated wrap-up of a Montreal Games defined as much by singular American stars as by unified team performances. Mitch Kupchak was a key contributor to that undefeated U.S. men's basketball team, helping the Americans capture gold under Smith's disciplined coaching. Considered by some critics a consolation choice at center after several bigger-name college stars passed on the Olympics, Kupchak silenced doubters with steady, physical play in the post, part of a deliberately even-tempered, team-first roster. That gold medal launched Kupchak into a lengthy, accomplished NBA career, first as a player who won championships with the Washington Bullets and Los Angeles Lakers, and later as one of basketball's most respected front-office executives as general manager of the Lakers and the Charlotte Hornets. Kupchak joins us on Past Our Prime to reflect on a career loaded with accomplishments, and he tells us that winning gold in Montreal still stands as the number one moment of it all. He credits the demanding, disciplined coaching trio of Dean Smith, Bill Guthridge, and John Thompson with preparing him not just for that Olympic run, but for everything that followed, and he opens up about the weight of that 1976 team knowing it had to avenge the U.S.'s controversial 1972 loss to the Soviet Union — a pressure that, once gold was actually secured, made the victory even sweeter. He also shares a warm, personal chapter about being mentored by Jerry West, a relationship that grew from a professional bond into a genuine, lasting friendship. And in one of the show's best stories, Kupchak recounts his father driving back across the Canadian border after the Games, and when a border agent asked if he had anything to declare, his dad beamed and simply said, "Gold." It's a gold medal show with our final Gold Medal winner from the '76 Games in Montreal. The great Mitch Kupchak this week on Past Our Prime. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dean Smith & Tyler Miller talk the Crown's quest for the Cup

What can live radio offer that an algorithm never will? I talk with WNCW radio host and Southern Songs and Stories creator Joe Kendrick about music discovery, public radio, human connection, and the changing music industry. Joe shares how childhood mixtapes led to more than 30 years at WNCW, where live DJs help listeners find new artists while reflecting the communities they serve. We also explore emergency broadcasting, vinyl records, streaming royalties, podcasting, bluegrass history, and why supporting artists and public media still matters. I believe you will enjoy Joe's stories and his clear reminder that technology can offer endless choice, but it cannot replace a trusted human voice. Highlights: 01:23 – How a small-town childhood shaped Joe's curiosity. 04:29 – How radio and mixtapes sparked his love of music. 17:49 – Why live radio creates a stronger human connection. 22:28 – How public radio supports people during crises. 31:16 – Why public radio still matters to communities. 41:38 – How streaming affects artists and music value. About the Guest: Fascinated by radio at an early age, I was having “driveway” moments by grade school, or at least moments when I wished my parents would let the song play out before cutting off the engine. My father's turntable, with its enchanting cue lamp shining on the platter's pattern of dots indicating whether it was at the correct speed, was like a lighthouse beckoning me to a land filled with yet-to-be discovered, electrified bliss. I was also enamored of stars on television, including sportscasters and newscasters, taking on their persona to call an imagined NASCAR race on a portable cassette recorder for example, and imitating Robin Williams in front of my fourth-grade class. By middle school, I got my first jam box and was off to the races with mix tapes, recording songs straight off the radio, my favorite study aid. I was keenly interested in not only the music on the radio but also how the DJs presented it, and would call in to make requests or to ask why they kept playing the Guns N' Roses songs I did not like. I started collecting music, primarily though tape clubs like Columbia House. I read Rolling Stone and wrote to the editor to disagree with a David Fricke review of Jimmy Page's album Outrider. By college, I was determined to become a DJ, the coolest job on the planet. At UNC-Chapel Hill, WXYC beckoned, and after trying and failing to get on staff (the screening process was quite challenging, filled with questions about music I had never heard of on commercial radio or in print), I landed there in my junior year. There, my musical horizons expanded beyond where I could have imagined when transfixed by that vintage Technics turntable spinning Queen's News of the World a few years before. There was more, of course, like college basketball (asking Dean Smith a question about how he coached his teams to shoot free throws so well at a student forum was likely my first brush with greatness), and a budding instinct to make sense of the world via the written word. Journalism school (specifically advertising) and hand-written album reviews at WXYC were early outlets. During and after college, there was also the occasional short story or essay, along with a few features on other passions like mountain biking, and more music reviews to write for zines and entertainment weeklies. Writing and radio remained an avocation for the next fifteen years, with a notable stretch of ten years as a franchise owner in the landscape lighting business dominating my resume before selling that and becoming full time morning host at public radio WNCW in 2006, where I had been volunteering following college before working part-time in the early 2000s. In the mid-1990s, I moved into the old family homestead, which my great-grandparents begun in the 1880s. I got married and had kids, and learned about being a husband and father, as well as how to take up the mantle of family legacy. Two ancestors who became more and more important in this legacy are Earl Scruggs (see: banjo) and W.J. Cash, author of The Mind of the South. Fast forward to 2014, and the concept for Southern Songs and Stories had taken firm root, after previous music-oriented endeavors Lingua Musica and What It Is had run their courses. As a video documentary series before lack of funds cut it short at two episodes, it became obvious that my ambitions outstripped my means, and making it a podcast was the way to go.  DIY, y'all. Southern Songs and Stories is primarily a music artist-focused series, with interviews, music excerpts, and commentary. The concept of elision is my north star: I edit conversations to fit for length (typically a half hour each episode, currently) and for the overarching statements that each episode should make. Marrying concepts and focusing on the intersection of ideas is typically my goal, along with the foundational work of highlighting engaging conversations and music. My hope is to bring in casual fans and die-hards alike: whether you know anything about artist X, Y or Z, I aim to pull you into their world within the first three minutes and keep you engaged there for the remainder of each podcast. I also love working with a chain saw and making campfires, but that conversation can wait until we might connect later on.

John Hayes and Danny Brams are at Selwyn Pub discussing all things Charlotte FC. The guys react to The Crown going 1-1-1 during MLS' 3-game window before Leagues Cup. MLS is being flooded with soccer superstars but Zoran Krneta & Dean Smith don't think Charlotte can land one. Why not? We're still waiting for Allan St. Maximin to make his club & league debut. Where is he? Should The Crown take Leagues Cup seriously or play the kids? Charlotte is a Soccer City.

Send us Fan MailA lot to talk about this week as Charlotte celebrates its first MLS All-Star events!  But first, Charlotte FC traveled to clinch an away win and clean sheet against the Red Bulls, 2-nil. Goals by All-Stars Pep Biel and Ashley Westwood were made of pure class while Kahlina and the defensive line earned only the third clean sheet on the season. Then USMNT defender Tim Ream showed his professional skill with near-deadly precision and accuracy in the 2026 MLS All-Star Skills Passing Challenge, bringing home the win and a trophy for his efforts. And finally, Ream, Biel, and Westwood earn debuts as MLS All-Stars in a match that tallies a win for Coach Dean Smith but truly showcases multiple All-Stars MLS talent in goal contributions and standout performances. Also back on topic is transfers and rumors and the performances of those who might be called on to fill in for the lack of depth.The Queens' Pitch on X@thequeenspitchclt

For most high school programs, the players that you have in your program are going to be pulled in multiple directions, whether that be by other sports, school activities or family activities. You have to show your human side and have some understanding, but you also have to hold players and families accountable for their non-emergency absences. In this pod, we discuss how to create a positive absence policy and how to clearly define repercussions, In addition, we have a quote from one of our Founding Fathers, Benjamin Franklin, and a discussion of the predecessor to Dean Smith at North Carolina . . .

This week, we talk about a basketball player, who seemed to have it all, with his future as bright as one could be. Problem was, laziness, a very entitled attitude, and a lack of scoring actual points led to him being in every coach's dog house.

In this episode of The UK Flooring Podcast, Tom sits down with Dean Smith, owner of DCS Flooring Limited, for an honest conversation about growing a commercial flooring business, stepping away from the tools and finding a better balance between work and family life.Dean shares how he followed his dad into flooring after leaving college, before choosing a different route and building a business focused mainly on commercial projects.However, years of fitting demanding floors during the day, quoting at night and carrying the pressure of running a business began to take its toll. Dean found himself physically exhausted, struggling to make the numbers work and bringing the stress of the business home with him.That pressure eventually contributed to the breakdown of his relationship and forced him to reconsider what he wanted from his business and his life.Dean explains how taking on more fitters and coming off the tools helped him regain control. Although the transition was difficult, and the work initially struggled to catch up with the size of the team, it allowed him to focus on winning projects, managing the business and spending more time with his children.The conversation also explores the realities of managing employees, staying organised, using AI and automation, and why business owners can become so focused on systems that they forget the basic task of bringing new work through the door.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow Dean progressed from working alongside his dad to running DCS Flooring LimitedWhy he chose commercial flooring instead of following his dad into domestic retailThe physical and emotional impact of fitting floors while trying to run a businessHow business pressure affected Dean's relationship and family lifeWhy working harder did not necessarily mean making more moneyThe challenges of employing people before the workload has caught upWhy getting off the tools became a major turning pointHow Dean keeps his team happy through fairness, good pay and sensible working hoursWhy every employee is motivated by something differentHow early mornings help Dean complete his most important workWhy enjoying your job is often a choice rather than something that simply happensHow Dean uses ChatGPT, CRM systems and an AI receptionist in the businessThe risks of automating too much of the customer journeyWhy systems and processes can become a distraction from salesDean's plans to grow the company without losing the freedom he has createdMemorable Quote“We can all go to work and earn money, but ultimately you need to go to work and enjoy yourself.”Speaker InformationDean Smith is the owner of DCS Flooring Limited, a commercial flooring contractor based in Leicestershire.After spending much of his career fitting floors himself, Dean is now focused on growing his team, improving the company's systems and building a business that gives him more control, freedom and time with his family.Follow DCS Flooring Limited on Instagram:@dcsflooringltdVisit the DCS Flooring website:www.dcsflooringltd.co.ukWhere to Find The UK Flooring PodcastListen to The UK Flooring Podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, or watch the latest episodes through the Cockerill & Co YouTube channel.Follow The UK Flooring Podcast on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and LinkedIn for new episodes, clips and conversations from across the flooring industry.

He reveals never-told-before stories of college shenanigans, ultimate confidence and being touted the 6th overall pick yet still having animosity towards a certain someone in Chicago. The conversation also jumps into the chemistry and chaos behind the scenes of the award-winning Inside the NBA, as Kenny reveals what it's really like working alongside Shaquille O'Neal, Charles Barkley, and Ernie Johnson on one of the most beloved shows in sports television. He opens up about how the show became one of the most influential programs in sports television and why authenticity has always mattered most as it's given an extra voice to new media like podcasts. Beyond basketball, Kenny gets candid about fatherhood, marriage, relationships, personal growth, and navigating life in the spotlight while staying grounded through family. The crew also talks about the current state of the NBA, the rise of Victor Wembanyama, today's superstars, the evolution of the game, and what the future of basketball looks like moving forward. Kenny doubles down on his official prediction for who will win the 2026 NBA Finals in a conversation filled with laughs, wisdom, untold stories, and real perspective that only that locker room can deliver.

Charlotte FC finally got back to winning ways Saturday, taking down Toronto FC 3-1 at the Bank. But before that were two lackluster results – a draw with FC Cincinnati and a lackluster 1-0 loss to NYCFC. This week on the show, Matt, David and Corey spend most of their time breaking down the Toronto match but they don't overlook the issues we saw in the other two matches. Topics include: When things aren't going well, is it Dean Smith (and tactics and lineups) or is it the players?What was different about the Toronto match compared to the previous two?What needs to happen in the summer transfer window?And David compares himself Tim Ream and Ashley Westwood and shares his most recent heat map.--Want to get into our Discord to discuss all the matches this season, get access to the Secret Show and ask us questions for upcoming episodes? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support us on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for just a few bucks to get access to that and more.Patreon:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.patreon.com/MintCitySoccerShow

A lifeless effort from Charlotte FC saw the Crown go down 1-0 at home to NYC FC. What's gone wrong with this club in 2026? Is it just the regular ups and downs of a season? Or is there a deeper rot settling into the locker room?DannyBrams searches for those answers by digging into the postgame commentary from Tim Ream, Dean Smith, and Luca de la Torre. There are definitely hints to be found reading between the lines, let's discover them together!

When we watch sports, we watch the surface: the goals, the speed, the final score. But Colin Cerniglia, Sports Journalist for the Charlotte Observer, is looking for something else.In this episode, we dive into the "human undercurrent"—the invisible cues and personal values that dictate whether a team rises or crumbles. Colin, author of Culture of Excellence and a veteran of both the corporate recruiting world and the sports press box, takes us on a journey through the high-stakes decisions of the New York Yankees and the protective leadership of coaches like Dean Smith.But leadership isn't just found in stadiums. Colin pulls back the curtain on his own life, from his obsessive quest to write an unauthorized biography of rock legend Don Henley to a sobering reality check in his own home during a postpartum crisis. We close with a moving tribute to the "first hero" in his life—his grandfather—and the legacy of decency that remains long after the scoreboard is turned off.In this episode, we explore:The Recruiter's Lens: Why judging talent based on "charm" alone is a recipe for failure.The Coach's Shield: How great leaders protect their players from the noise.The Henley Rabbit Hole: A detour into 1960s Texas yearbooks and investigative obsession.The Legacy of Decency: What a grandfather's quiet life teaches us about being remembered.Connect with Colin Cerniglia:Official Substack: CERNIG – The home for Colin's latest writing, including updates on his Don Henley biography project.The Book: Culture of Excellence: What We Can Learn From The Yankees About Leadership – Colin's deep dive into the organizational secrets of baseball's most storied franchise.Professional Hub: Talent 409 – Colin's leadership academy and consulting firm.Podcast: 2 Jocks & A Schlub – A weekly mix of sports, beer, and "nonsense" hosted by Colin and friends.Writing Portfolio: Muck Rack – A collection of Colin's sports journalism and features.Follow Colin on Social Media:X: @cjcernigInstagram: @cjcernig

It's taken a few weeks, but FC Cincinnati finally have an away win under their belt, all thanks to a big late shift by the squad in Chicago. The big question—can they pull off another big road victory? That hasn't been the case when the Orange & Blue have visited their Queen City rivals in North Carolina. Cincinnati have failed to capture all three points over their four visits to Bank of America Stadium since Charlotte FC's debut in 2022. However, Charlotte have been struggling to find form, losing their last three matches in MLS play. Has the offense lost its luster under Dean Smith? Is the defending line struggling ahead of goalkeeper Kristijan Kahlina? We talk with Luke from the Queen City Soccer Show to get some answers before this Queen City Derby.

Both end in goals and wins, but does Charlotte FC feel like a winning team? And with Dean Smith giving a chance to the young guys, who's making the most of it?The Queens' Pitch on X@thequeenspitchclt

Welcome to First Sip from the Charlotte FC Podcast, our look at Charlotte FC visiting New York City FC this Saturday, April 18, at Citi Field in New York.Last weekend was a frustrating stumble. Charlotte FC didn't bring their best against the Eastern Conference leaders, Nashville SC, dropping points at home against a rotated squad. But soccer moves fast. Midweek, Dean Smith rotated his own squad and secured a massive US Open Cup win to cleanse the palate and rest the starters.Now, the focus shifts to a massive road test and a bitter reunion. Charlotte FC is heading north to face NYCFC. This is the team that ended the Crown's 2025 season, knocking them out of the playoffs and completely neutralizing their style of play. NYCFC currently sits ahead of Charlotte in the early table, but there is one massive difference this time around: Charlotte has Pep Biel on the pitch.To help us break down this Eastern Conference heavyweight clash, we are stepping inside the broadcast booth. We are thrilled to be joined by former USWNT star and current MLS on Apple TV Match Analyst, Lori Lindsey!

Charlotte FC's 2026 campaign hits the road, and Special Guest Jillian Sakovits says there's only one thing they should be focused on for this trip to New York City: Revenge! The Apple TV host and reporter makes her Soccer City debut to preview a massive matchup this weekend, and also gets into her recent experiences working the sidelines at Bank of America Stadium, why MLS needs strong personalities like Dean Smith to always speak their minds, and what Charlotte has to offer when it comes to attracting superstar talent to the squad. The Season Never Sleeps, and it's always For the Crown, Baby!

In the most shocking coaching hire in college basketball history, UNC has reached into the NBA ranks, naming Denver Nuggets head coach Mike Malone as the next leader of the Tar Heels.In this historic Episode 15, Darryl and Will break down the seismic shift in the 919. For the first time since the 1960s, the seat once held by Dean Smith will not be occupied by a direct disciple of his coaching tree. We explore the end of the Naismith-to-Smith-to-Guthridge-to-Matt-to-Roy-to-Hubert lineage and what it means for the "Carolina Family" brand.In this episode, we dive into:The Malone Era Begins: Why the 2023 NBA Champion is the "outsider" the Heels needed.Family Ties: With Malone's daughter already on the UNC Volleyball team, how deep do his roots in Chapel Hill already go?The Staffing Shakeup: Who stays and who goes?

The Collision of Two Realities: Match Week 6We're heading into MLS Match Week 6, and the honeymoon phase of the season is officially over. We've reached the point where the table stops lying and desperation starts to set in.On this 15-minute preview episode, we explore the collision of two completely fractured psychological realities. On one side, Charlotte FC is riding the euphoric, historic high of a 6-1 win. On the other, the Philadelphia Union—a perennial powerhouse—is spiraling in a five-game nightmare as new manager Bradley Carnell tries to stop the freefall.To help us navigate this emotional whiplash, we're joined by MLS Match Analyst and former player, Ross Smith. We are skipping the standard tactical coach-speak and taking you straight into the unseen machinery of the broadcast.In this episode, we explore:The Digital Tell: How Ross bypasses media training to read the true stress levels of coaches like Dean Smith and Bradley Carnell through a webcam.The Anatomy of a Blowout: The physical, sensory experience inside the tiny broadcast booth when a 6-1 historic victory unfolds live.The Psychology of 0-for-5: A raw look inside the heavy silence of a locker room that expects to be champions, but can't find a win.The Unseen Trap: The one micro-detail on the pitch that will tell us in the first ten minutes if Charlotte is walking into an ambush.It's not just about what happens on the grass; it's about the heavy, unseen weight every player and broadcaster carries into the weekend.(Listen now for your quick Match Week 6 preview before the whistle blows this Saturday!)

John & Danny react to Dean Smith's comments about Charlotte not being sexy enough to attract top players in Europe. GM Zoran Krneta echoed that statement in an interview with Backheeled. It's matchweek 6 and struggling Philadelphia Union is coming to the Queen City. Plus, the USMNT is in action over the international break! Will Patruck Agyemang make the final roster?

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot open with a Tiger Woods' DUI arrest following a car crash, debating addiction, accountability, and whether his injuries and surgeries contribute to a potential dependency on painkillers. The conversation mixes empathy with frustration, as they explore the limits of wealth, resources, and personal responsibility. Mitch and Hotshot kick around Final Four structure—including why reseeding will never happen—while also noting UConn's dominance and the imbalance of the current bracket. They mix in lighter observations like Charles Barkley's noticeable weight loss before turning to baseball, where the Mariners split their opening series despite historically poor production from the heart of the lineup. Mitch is joined by Brady Farkas and Joe Doyle after the Mariners open the season with a four-game split against Cleveland, despite getting almost nothing from the middle of the order. The conversation centers on slow starts from Julio Rodríguez, Cal Raleigh, and Josh Naylor, while Brendan Donovan emerges as an early bright spot. The guys also debate mounting criticism of manager Dan Wilson's bullpen and lineup decisions, assess encouraging signs from the starting rotation and Emerson Hancock's standout outing, and look ahead to a critical stretch against the Yankees and Angels. Mitch and The Ringer's Danny Kelly break down the upcoming NFL Draft, where uncertainty at the top—especially at quarterback—could lead to major movement. Kelly explains why this year's QB class lacks a slam-dunk No. 1 pick, how team needs may outweigh pure talent evaluation, and which prospects could rise late in the process. Mitch joins Jason Puckett to dissect the art of interviewing—specifically why trying to be funny can backfire and why cell phone guests almost always kill timing, pacing, and chemistry. The conversation turns into a masterclass on radio fundamentals, with Mitch explaining his strict "no cell phone" philosophy and how production control separates good interviews from disasters. Along the way, he mixes in classic storytelling—from awkward guest moments to legendary encounters with Dean Smith and Vern Lundquist—highlighting both the craft and chaos of live radio.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose podcast Joe Doyle | MLB analyst, Over Slot Danny Kelly | The Ringer / NFL Draft Analyst Jason Puckett | KJ-Aren'ts / Puck Drop   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Tiger Woods' latest DUI arrest sparks a real conversation on addiction, while March Madness rolls on and the birthday game delivers. 22:02 | From Final Four format debates to Charles Barkley's shrinking suits, Mitch and Scott pivot to a Mariners offense already raising questions. 36:42 | Mariners No-Table: Slow Bats, Early Panic, and a Needed Split.

Donovan's rise to the professional ranks began with elite success on the collegiate level. His Florida Gators won back to back national titles in 2006 and 2007. Before that, Donovan played and coach at Providence where he played in the 1987 Final Four. He's one of four to play in a Final Four and win a national title as a head coach - Dean Smith is one of the other three.

Puck and Mitch are back together laughing how Puck starts interviews, Mitch's incredible story about the late Dean Smith, former producers praising Mitch and the boys are beyond excited for the start of the baseball season!

On this episode of On The Ball with Ric Bucher, Ric briefly touches on LeBron James, the Lakers' playoff positioning, Cade Cunningham's award eligibility, and the chaos brewing in the final stretch of the NBA season — but then takes a hard turn into a bigger issue exposed by March Madness.Ric argues that one of college basketball's most celebrated traditions — emptying the bench in the final seconds of a blowout — is not a heartwarming gesture at all. In his view, it can be performative, demeaning, and completely disconnected from what real competitors actually want. Drawing on his own playing experience, the example of Dean Smith, conversations with current athletes, and the firsthand experience of watching his daughter play in the NCAA Tournament, Ric explains why token late-game appearances can feel more like humiliation than reward.This is a sharp, deeply personal episode about coaching, competition, respect, and the life lessons sports are supposed to teach — the same themes at the heart of Ric's upcoming book, Coachable: The Secret to How Legendary Performers Reach Their Highest Potential.Condensed Time Stamps 0:00 Intro, Ric's new book Coachable, United WeCast plugs, and New Air Club 2:46 LeBron's loose-ball dive, Lakers chemistry, and why one moment proves nothing 4:42 Lakers playoff seeding, Rockets vs. Timberwolves, and why size still matters 6:53 Cade Cunningham, awards eligibility, and Ric's broader mission in sports coverage 9:18 The real lessons sports are supposed to teach 9:48 March Madness outrage, coaching clips, and why social media lacks context 11:46 Why Brenda Frese's fiery exchange was not “controversial” 12:50 Ric's real target: the empty-the-bench ritual in NCAA blowouts 14:01 Ric's daughter's March Madness experience with Cal Baptist vs. UCLA 16:02 Why token appearances can feel insulting, not rewarding 17:03 Dean Smith's original approach vs. today's hollow substitution theater 18:13 Why gradual reserve minutes are better for development and respect 20:32 The “don't treat me like a Make-A-Wish kid” story 22:15 Why players don't see garbage-time cameos as meaningful participation 25:16 What college coaches should do instead 27:20 Ric checks with current athletes — and they agree 28:19 Outro and what's next on On The BallHashtags #OnTheBall #RicBucher #MarchMadness #NCAATournament #CollegeBasketball #WomensBasketball #BasketballPodcast #SportsMedia #Coaching #SportsCulture #LeBronJames #Lakers #NBA #CadeCunningham #UnitedWeCastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.

For the North Carolina basketball program,  reaching the Sweet Sixteen was the benchmark of success in the NCAA Tournament since Dean Smith broke through in the late 1960s. Smith's 1967-69 run of ACC regular season championships, ACC Tournament titles and Final Four berths set the standard for UNC and throughout his tenure on the Tar Heel sidelines, Smith delivered. Roy Williams did virtually the same until he retired in 2021. Hubert Davis's teams have reached that threshold in two of his four years in Chapel Hill with another tournament run beginning on Thursday against VCU. So what is the standard? What defines North Carolina success in the NCAA Tournament? Is that different for this specific team given the injuries and this year's bracket?  Inside Carolina's senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley to discuss the past, present and future of Carolina in the NCAA Tournament and they include the Duke rivalry in the discussion as the Blue Devils head into their own tournament run with a sweep of the league trophies this season.   **Call to Action:** **Subscribe:** Follow 'Inside Carolina' wherever you get your podcasts to never miss an episode! **Review:** Leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify to help us reach more Tar Heel fans! **Visit:** Explore http://www.InsideCarolina.com for breaking news, recruiting updates, and expert commentary on all things UNC sports.This show is brought to you by Inside Carolina, the No. 1 site for UNC sports coverage and community.

Inside Carolina's senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley to discuss North Carolina's Hubert Davis and the consistent inconsistency that has defined the North Carolina basketball program under the fifth year head coach. Barnes and Ashley recount the highs, and lows of the Davis tenure in light of UNC's loss to Miami on Tuesday night after the monumental win over Duke last Saturday. Barnes addresses the approach Davis takes in postgame press conferences from the angle of a reporter that's covered numerous coaches and players over the past two decades. The IC duo also hit on Carolina's metrics following the past two games and the work that remains for the 2026 Tar Heels to move up on the postseason seed lines in the ACC and NCAA Tournaments.   This show is brought to you by Inside Carolina, the No. 1 site for UNC sports coverage and community.

This was never going to be a glamorous window, but certainly few would have expected such a twist.With Aston Villa hit by a cluster of midfield injuries at the worst possible time, this transfer catch-up looks at the merit of the triple signings of former players, that were originally signed by Dean Smith. Are we upgrading? Gambling? Or is it just damage limitation?The conversation centres on the loss of Kamara, Tielemans, and McGinn and why that trio underpins almost everything Villa do well. Defensive stability. Control. Goal contributions. Take all three out and you are not tweaking a system, you are protecting one.That context frames the return of Douglas Luiz, the intrigue around Tammy Abraham, and the pragmatic reality behind Leon Bailey's situation. None are presented as silver bullets. All are discussed as players at career crossroads, arriving not to transform Villa but to stabilise them.The sentimentality that the trio brings makes the signings a cut above a punt on an unknown, and all three have proven already they can do a job in claret and blue.UTVGet a Great NordVPN DealGet a cracking deal on NordVPN with four months FREE & a 30 days money-back guarantee here: nordvpn.com/momsGET AD-FREE SHOWS and JOIN MATCH CLUBGet ad-free shows and extra shows, and join My Old Man Said's 24/7 Villa community, Match Club.For more details and to become a member, click here: Become a MOMS MemberJoin the show's listener facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid Chris Budd - @BUDD_musicPhillip Shaw - @prsgameMusic production & creation - David MichaelMy Old Man Said - https://www.myoldmansaid.comThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.
