It was a busy day on Sunday for both the Iowa men's and women's basketball teams. Tom Kakert and Kyle Huesmann discuss the top news item of the day which as the Hawkeye women's basketball team earning a #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Of course it's a challenging path for the Hawkeyes if they want to return to the Final Four, but the first two games would be in Iowa City. We look at their potential foes and the overall path.  We also discuss the overall tournament and fantasy book half the Final Four and some dream match-up's if the Hawkeyes make it all the way to Cleveland this year.  Then we move over to the men's team, who did not make the field for the NCAA Tournament for the first time in five years.

Although it has since been taken over in size by the NCAA, the National Invitational Tournament was once the most prestigious collegiate basketball tournament in the nation. Created by the lack of a national championship, Ned Irish founded the NIT as a way of bringing some of the best teams in the nation to play against one another to determine a final victor. Today, the NIT has lost some of its former glory, but it is still held every March alongside the NCAA tournament with millions of viewers tuning in!CREDITSRick Loayza: Head researcher, writer, and voiceJacob Loayza: Editor, producer, and publisher MUSIC"Mediterranean" by Chiro"Horizons" by Roa SPORTS HISTORY NETWORKsportshistorynetwork.comsportshistorynetwork.com/podcasts/basketball-history-101/ FACEBOOKm.facebook.com/Basketball-History-101-103801581493027/ BUSINESS CONTACTbballhistory101@gmail.com

Our Great Coach on this episode is Jackie Carson. Jackie Carson is the Head Coach of the Furman University Womens Basketball team. She also played there as a student athlete, and still hold the conference record for most free throws made. In 1999 she was honored as Furman's Female Athlete of the Year and in 2009 she became on the third player in the programs history to have their jersey retired. She started her coaching career in 2003, progressing through Assistant Coaching Positions at Bucknell and Madison which included postseason appearances at the 2007 and 2010 NCAA tournaments. In 2010, she returned to Furman as the 9th Head Coach in the college's history. In her 11 seasons leading the team they have earned four postseason berths and 2 Women's National Invitational Tournament appearances. In 2014 she was awarded Conference Coach of the Year. Jackie is a coach with an Infectious energy that inspires you to have the confidence to, in her words, walk into the room or the gym knowing you are going to win. Building this confidence in her players is a key part of what she strives to achieve as a coach. After the interview, the keys parts I shared with my own family around the dinner table were, How she believes that as a woman, you have to be better than the male that's going for the same job, and importantly show why you're better. And explaining this is not something you should shy away from, in fact she says you should demand what you want in the future. How some of the things you say in your head to yourself, you would never say out loud to anyone else. And that the best way to deal with negative self-talk is to talk to someone else about how you are thinking, and through that, talk yourself into the tasks that are causing you to doubt. And wanting to leave a legacy, where people learn that you can do things the right way, you can be a mom that works, a black female that is successful and beats the odds, you can do whatever it is that people say that you can't do. As a father of 2 daughters, I found this interview educational and inspiring and I hope you enjoy it as much as Jim and I did.

Coach Tony Shaver shares his coaching journey from being a Student Assistant with the UNC JV Team while also playing for Dean Smith to becoming the all time winningest coach in the history of Hampden-Sydney as well as William & Mary. While playing in Chapel Hill, UNC went 95-26, including a pair of trips to the NCAA Tournament in 1975 and 1976. During the 1975 season, the Tar Heels won the ACC Tournament and advanced to the Sweet 16. During the 1973 and 1974 season, UNC made the National Invitational Tournament. The High Point, NC native talks about coaching at Episcopal HS in Alexandria Virginia and what led him to chase the dream of being a college basketball coach. At Hampden-Sydney College (NCAA DIII) he coached many student athletes who went on to coach basketball (Andy Gray, Ryan Odom, Griff Aldrich, Dee Vick, Russell Turner and lots more) and he wore multiple hats. The three-time ODAC Coach of the Year led them to 358 wins including 207 wins in the ODAC, during his 17 years at the helm. During his tenure they made 11 NCAA Tournament appearances including 7 trips to the Sweet Sixteen and 2 trips to the Final Four. They were the runner up of the 1999 NCAA DIII national championship after suffering a double-overtime 1-point loss to Bo Ryan's University of Wisconsin–Platteville team in the national championship game. He left H-S as the all time leader in coaching victories to become the Head Coach at William & Mary. In Williamsburg he was a two-time Colonial Athletic Association Coach of the Year and was twice selected as a finalist for the National Mid-Major Coach of the Year. The Tribe has posted four of its nine 20-win seasons under Coach Shaver. W&M recorded three-straight 20-win seasons in 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16, marking just the second streak of three years in program history. The Tribe captured the CAA regular season Championship in 2015. Twice, Shaver led the program to berths in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT), only the second and third post season bids in program history. His teams reached 4 CAA tournament championship appearances and even notched victories over ACC programs Wake Forest and Maryland. His win total at William & Mary is more than twice as much as any other coach in the history of the program. Coach Shaver answers the question about what's next for him as far as coaching basketball is concerned and much more!

The NCAA Tournament bracket is out, and for the first time since 1995, the Duke Blue Devils will not be a part of March Madness. The DBR Podcast crew is here to react to the news on Episode 295. Duke also passed up a bid to the National Invitational Tournament, presumably due to COVID concerns, and with not being selected as a replacement team for the NCAA Tournament, Duke’s season is over. Still, we quickly react to some of the ACC teams that made the Dance, and we comment on which teams got a difficult draw. After the break, we recap the ACC Tournament and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets winning it all. We conclude with our final Player of the Week honors and one giant sneeze. We’ll be back at some point before the start of the NCAA Tournament to give a more thorough preview, and we’ll also have the recap of the Stats Game soon as well.

Honorable Mention All-American (1983) and NBA veteran, Roy Hinson. Roy Hinson calls himself a “late bloomer”. His underlying talent – matched with his height – didn’t lay dormant for long. As a senior, his sudden impact on the hardwood helped steer Franklin Township High School to a 25-2 senior season, culminating in the Sectional Championship Game. Roy details the decision making behind his choice to attend Rutgers University, where he became a standout and future Hall of Fame player. Not only did Roy make post-season tournaments in his junior and senior seasons, he also had the opportunity to fly to Europe, twice, representing Team USA (1981 World University Games) and an All-Star squad (1982 National Invitational Tournament tour). Our conversation covers a wide range of topics. We discuss Roy’s early years in the NBA, his appearance in the 1986 Slam Dunk Contest, his trade to Philadelphia – and later, New Jersey, his home state – and the injury concerns that ultimately forced him into an early retirement. The conversation concludes with discussion about Roy’s role at the NBA Players Association, the 2018 NBA All-Star Weekend / Legends Brunch and terrific insight into the reasoning behind the jersey numbers that Roy wore throughout his career. Links discussed (include): * Cleveland clinch playoffs berth; despite terrible start to season * 1986 Slam Dunk Contest People mentioned in this episode, include: George Karl, World B. Free, Julius Erving, Kevin McHale, Hakeem Olajuwon, Michael Jordan, Billy Cunningham, Spud Webb, Maurice Lucas, John Bagley & Ralph Sampson.   Editor's note: sign-up for the monthly newsletter - receive exclusive details on upcoming podcast episodes and future, high-profile guests to appear on the show.
