University of Wyoming Throws Coach Paul Barrett joins Airey Bros Radio for a first-ever deep dive with a throws coach — and he delivers a masterclass on NCAA throws development, strength & conditioning, and how to build a quietly dominant program for nearly three decades.Barrett is in his 27th season at Wyoming and has coached 2 NCAA champions, 22 All-Americans, 36 conference champions, and 127 all-conference finishers. We break down his award-winning year (USTFCCCA Mountain Region Men's Assistant Coach of the Year), the rise of NCAA champion Daniel Reynolds, and why Barrett's training approach is the opposite of what most people expect: low volume, high recovery, high results.If you're a throws athlete, football player considering track, a high school coach trying to learn throws, or a recruit looking for a real pathway — this episode is loaded with practical coaching insight and recruiting advice.In this episode:How Paul went from wrestling → sprints/long jump → hammer throwWhy he loves JUCO recruiting (and why NWAC athletes get overlooked)What he looks for in a hammer/weight throw prospectThe training week that helped turn Daniel Reynolds into an NCAA championWhy Olympic lifts matter (and what they actually do in-season)The #1 thing high school throwers must fix on their Instagram recruiting pageWyoming's team culture, academics, facilities, and what surprises recruits mostFollow Coach Barrett: Instagram — @yo_pokes_throwsFueled by: Black Sheep Endurance CoachingValue for Value: Buy us a coffee (link in your ABR bio/show notes)Show Notes + Timestamps: 0:13 – Show open (Howdy & Aloha, value-for-value, Black Sheep Endurance)1:17 – Guest intro: Paul Barrett's résumé + Wyoming throws legacy2:37 – ABR milestone: first throws coach on the show3:18 – Where to find Coach Barrett: IG @yo_pokes_throws3:48 – Throughline: shoutout to Coach Sean McLachlin (NWAC connection)4:26 – Origin story: wrestling → sprinting/long jump → throwing discovery5:51 – Where he grew up: Texas/Kansas/Wyoming/Washington State6:28 – Spokane CC dynasty + NWAC dominance7:42 – JUCO recruiting: why he actively watches NJCAA + NWAC9:39 – Why JUCO athletes often become his hardest workers10:10 – Favorite event: hammer throw (as athlete + coach)11:15 – Hammer recruiting: what to look for if an athlete hasn't thrown hammer12:46 – Getting into coaching + love for strength & conditioning13:44 – Strength → throws transfer: why power matters14:38 – Key lifts: Olympic lifts, squats, core integration15:35 – Coaching progression: straight into S&C + throws roles16:27 – Recruiting battles: football vs track (and why “both” rarely works)18:11 – Why football players should do track (explosiveness + goals)19:29 – 27 years at Wyoming: how his coaching evolved20:13 – What he wants in recruits: work ethic + academics21:04 – Event setup: usually 2 events per athlete (team scoring strategy)21:49 – Geography: why he tends to recruit the West/Mountain/NW22:43 – Recruiting today: athletes DM him on Instagram (huge tool)23:57 – Daniel Reynolds story: seeing raw power → portal → instant potential25:16 – Technical changes + biggest difference: recovery + low-volume plan26:27 – Meaning of the national title (recruiting + recognition)27:06 – Day-in-the-life training: the shockingly short week (recovery focus)29:17 – In-season lifting: hang cleans + front squats + close-grip bench30:35 – Sets/reps: low reps (5–1), maintain power without beating them up31:02 – Daniel's numbers: hang clean 425 + speed/power combo31:52 – Season update: young talent + goals for indoor postseason32:40 – Postseason timeline: conference late Feb/early March, NCAAs mid-March33:39 – Why “less is more” (injury reduction + quality training)35:04 – Advice to HS throwers: build a real recruiting IG + post lifting/throws36:40 – Advice to HS coaches: YouTube + clinics (why throws improved recently)38:02 – Team culture: small town, tight-knit program, family vibe39:22 – Academics: engineering/agriculture + strong athlete academic support41:23 – Wyoming surprise factor: facilities, funding, athlete dining, resources43:01 – Winter reality + altitude: dry cold, longer season, indoor throwing option45:11 – Final Four: coffee order, mindset, music, guilty pleasure50:14 – Outro: upcoming ABR episodes (Nate Shearer + James Overheiser)

When: April 4th, 9AM-12PMWhere: UNRNKD Hoops (6331 Crawfordsville Road Indianapolis, IN 46224)Who: HS athletes from 9-12 grade, INCLUDING unsigned SeniorsWhat: D1 College Workout HOSTED BY D1 Coaches D2/D3 Coaches in AttendanceDan McHale is back for a short, straight-to-the-point bonus episode, and we're talking about what families actually care about right now: exposure, timing, and how recruiting really works in 2026. Dan is a former Division I head coach and longtime D1 assistant, and he breaks down why the old “just wait, it'll come” advice is getting kids left behind. We also get into the CRC Final Four Showcase in Indianapolis, built to put players directly in front of college coaches during Final Four weekend, plus give parents a real education on what rosters look like in the transfer portal era. Dan explains draft boards, why coaches share information, and why being proactive matters more than ever for 2026, 2027, and 2028 prospects. If you're a parent hoping a state title run will magically create offers, or a player trying to figure out the right next step, this is your reset. No hype, just the current market and what to do about it. 

BONUS FLASHBACK EPISODELast year a largely unknown QB from Cal-Berkeley showed up in Bloomington to lead Indiana's offense in Year 2 of the Cignetti Era. One year later, that same QB is a household name across America... Fernando Mendoza.Shortly after arriving at IU, Fernando was kind enough to join the Hysterics for an in-depth conversation, touching on everything from his family and childhood, to his love of Star Wars, to why he chose to join his brother Alberto in playing for Coach Cig.It was impossible to predict at the time of this interview that Fernando would go on to win the Heisman Trophy as he and his teammates went undefeated, winning both the Big Ten and National Championships, and forever securing their place not just in the hearts of Hoosier nation, but amongst the greatest stories in the history of sports. After this conversation, however, it was very easy to understand that Fernando is an absolutely special human being... warm, funny, intelligent and inspiring... and someone we'd all be very proud to have represent Indiana University.If you prefer to watch this flashback episode, please visit @hoosierhysterics on Youtube.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 0:51 Indiana Football won a natty. We say again: Indiana Football won. A natty. The Ohio State fans are crying Signs, it's great! Putting this in context because there hasn't been a more surprising national champion in any sport? Maybe Leicester but IU had the worst W% historically of any champion. Arc of college football is the big schools consolidate their chances of winning—last time a new school entered the ring it was Florida, which represented a demographic shift. What does this mean? Not a secret sauce but IU built similarly to 2023 Michigan: a base of players who played together a long time and some elite pieces added. They get better ROI by ignoring HS recruiting, put a lot of time and money into scouting. Similarity to Dusty May in that Cig knows what he needs and scouts the hell out of the rest of the sport. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Hot Takes and Men's Basketball vs Ohio State Starts at 27:20 Takes hotter than it's not outside. OSU game was annoyingly close. At one point Michigan was 2/16 from three and under 50% from the charity stripe. Biggest story of the game is the way Michigan held Bruce Thornton in check—the one hedge to center court that Mara got called for a foul was an awful call, but a proof of concept for how they defended OSU, which was to not give Thornton any space. Great Crisler crowd kept getting into highs and then a low-percentage event would derail, like their 17%-shooting big Christoph Tilly making a pair of threes (one a bank), 24%-shooting Amare Bynum making a deep contested jumper, and Mobley getting a bank three as shot clock is dying. Missed front ends made FT shooting feel extra annoying, somehow righted in the 2nd half. Big part of that was 21 good minutes from Trey McKenney. Liked Cason and McKenney more than Cadeau in this one: OSU has a 7'0" center and a 7'2" center but both of them are glued to the floor, which favors YOLO players. Annoying turnovers trying to figure out their zone. 3. Men's Basketball vs Indiana and a Nebraska Preview Starts at 54:03 Less annoying game, as Indiana was without Tayton Conerway for all but two minutes, and nobody else has the ability to get to the rim. IU couldn't even get the ball inside the three-point line. They finished 11/34 (32%) from three and that was because they made twice as many as they should have. IU only got five ORebs as they abandoned the glass to stop Michigan's transition game but terrible Nick Dorn shots that went off the back iron were their best way of getting the ball in the paint. Final score doesn't reflect the game because once Michigan got up 20-5 they put it in cruise control—this time it wasn't LJ Cason on the one drive for a layup. Will Tschetter's defense on Tucker DeVries was also a major factor. Nebrasketball is truly good. Very well-coached team, has a good system that turns everybody into Nebraska: 11th in taking threes, 6th in opponent 3PA/FGA. Have to slow down the game to protect stretch C Rienk Mask, who's the key to that offense. Might be without small four Braden Frager and been without SG Connor Essegian most of the year so there's a 23% shooting big in Berke "the Turk" Buyuktuncel that you can hide Mara on. The problem with that is it takes Mara out of the paint so you can't get away with playing as aggressively on the perimeter. Think we saw the prototype for how they want to play against Nebraska in that Oregon game. Might be able to do what Illinois did, was to take shots but then crash the glass because they don't have a lot of size. 4. Women's Basketball wsg Ira Weintraub Starts at 1:15:12 Time to get to know the best women's team in school history. Three losses were all similar: got way behind in the 1st quarter, fought their way back, came up short. Defense is fantastic, play the full court and cause a lot of turnovers which creates offensive opportunities. Get bogged down a bit in the half court and struggle to make their FTs. WBB officiating is beyond atrocious. Washington loss was a schedule thing after 2OT late game vs Oregon, but UConn and Vandy losses showed they can play with the elites and just need one more big basket from the super sophs. Hockeybear is blogging the team and making Team Sheets (key). It's not so easy is it? Super sophs: Holloway runs the offense and sets the defensive tone, Olson is a bucket, Swordsy is hero, and then they're getting a year from a growing Delfosse and UCLA transfer Dudley. Mostly a seven-woman rotation with Sofilkanich giving them some size inside, BQD a nightmare of a defensive pest, and then growth from Crockett who gives them some more size when they need it. Can they compete with the ELITE-elites? Nobody's unbeatable this year; Michigan is a solid two-seed, feel like floor is Sweet 16, has the make of a team that ends up losing a Final Four game en route to a big run next year.   MUSIC: "Getting Killed"—Geese "Forever Never Ends"—Jeff Tweedy "Downhill"—The Delivery Boys feat.

Click/tap here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. Have you met many shepherds lately? Seems like a dying profession. They're out there, but they don't get much press. Which is a shame, because Jesus thought the work of a shepherd was mission-critical.  Turns out, it still is. The work of a shepherd is intentional, tedious, and repetitive. A shepherd knows their flock, how many are supposed to be there, and notices when one wanders off. You've got to know your flock well to notice when just a singular sheep goes astray. That's how God knows us.  That's why, nearly 100 years ago to the day, Dr. Umphrey Lee decided that Jesus' Parable of the Lost Sheep (Luke 15:1–7) should be the featured Scripture adorning the walls of our Sanctuary. As we go through week three of “The Final Four,” we'll take a look at this marvelous story and why it's more relevant than ever.

Tom Ackerman is joined by Brian Barnhart to break down Illinois' upset win at Purdue, led by Keaton Wagler's explosive scoring night. They discuss how Illinois landed Wagler, his confidence and fit in Brad Underwood's system, and why the Illini look like a real Big Ten and Final Four contender. The segment also covers lessons from the Nebraska loss, defensive growth, rebounding, and a look ahead at a tough upcoming schedule and rising national attention.

In this Clinician's Corner, the focus was on the small details that separate “solid” from truly sharp officiating — especially in end-of-period situations and administrative moments that can quietly swing a game. The crew emphasized mechanical discipline: confirming 2 vs. 3, holding signals an extra beat, and always completing the full sequence (stop the clock → signal → strong direction → proper spot). We also hit a sneaky area that often gets missed — throw-in violations where a player steps out and illegally tosses the ball to a teammate. Add in reminders to use your voice on held balls and scrums, acknowledge sportsmanship when players help each other up, and stay aware of the bonus, and you get a masterclass in presence and clarity.

Click/tap here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. What do you think about when you think about God? Is God tall or short? Mean or kind? Present or distant? Angry or content? All of the above? At some point, we all consider what God is like. Even the most confident atheist had to come up with an understanding of God that they would decide to reject. So, one more time, what do you think about when you think about God?  What you believe about God also shapes how you see yourself. If God is loving, then you are lovable. If God is merciful, then you are more likely to forgive yourself. It doesn't stop there. The way you think about God determines how you love people. A God who keeps score often produces relationships marked by judgment and comparison. A God who delights in mercy forms people who are slower to condemn and quicker to restore. We tend to treat others the way we believe God treats us. So the question matters deeply: What do you think about when you think about God? Because that belief doesn't stay in your head—it moves into your prayers, your self-worth, your relationships, and the way you move through the world. Change your understanding of God, and over time, you change the way you live.

1. Bruce Pearl’s Career & Background Former Auburn basketball coach; won a Division II national championship and reached the Final Four twice. Unique fact: Pearl never played organized basketball (not even JV) before becoming a Division I coach. Started as a manager at Boston College, later became an assistant coach at Stanford under Tom Davis. Emphasizes making yourself valuable and being authentic as keys to success. 2. Coaching Philosophy Core principles: “Coach them as hard as you love them” – building deep relationships with players. Empower players and trust them; avoid micromanaging. Great coaches excel at creating offense and getting players good looks. Importance of roles and dimensions in a team: maximize strengths, hide weaknesses. Advice for young athletes: develop a unique skill or dimension that makes you stand out. 3. NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) & College Sports Pearl criticizes the NCAA for failing to adapt, calling it “arrogant” and responsible for chaos. NIL has transformed college sports: Top rosters now cost $35–$40 million annually. Smaller schools and Olympic sports are at risk of being cut. Advocates for urgent reform: Limited antitrust protection and congressional action to create fair rules. Warns that without changes, college sports will shrink to 30–50 elite programs. 4. Transfer Portal & Player Relationships Challenges in building trust and love when players stay only 6 months. Compares transfer portal dynamics to personal relationships—loyalty matters. 5. Broader Issues in Sports Concerns about betting and commercialization. Advice for high school athletes: play multiple sports early, specialize later, focus on nutrition and toughness. 6. Views on Israel & Anti-Semitism Strong advocate for Israel; sees American Jews as “the country’s greatest patriots.” Personal connection: family escaped Europe in 1929; others perished in the Holocaust. Believes silence equals complicity; stresses unity between Jews and Christians. Addresses rising anti-Semitism but emphasizes America still offers opportunity. 7. Cultural & Historical Insights Discusses theology, covenant, and shared values between Jews and Christians. Critiques “replacement theology” and urges solidarity against bigotry.
