Jake O'Neil: From Fruitland, Idaho to Professional Basketball Overseas How does a small-town athlete from Fruitland, Idaho go from motocross, golf, and no major basketball recruiting spotlight to playing professional basketball overseas? In this episode of The Gametime Guru Podcast, Shane Larson sits down with Jake O'Neil, a professional basketball player whose journey is anything but ordinary. Jake grew up in Fruitland, Idaho, where basketball was not always the main focus. Before chasing basketball at the highest levels, he spent much of his early athletic life around motocross and golf. Jake opens up about what changed when he started taking basketball seriously, how the weight room transformed his game, and why strength, confidence, and preparation became such important pieces of his development. He also shares the adversity he faced after a major leg injury and a difficult season of life that forced him to rebuild mentally, emotionally, and physically. From there, Jake's story becomes one of belief and opportunity. After starting college as a golfer at Boise State, he eventually walked on at the College of Idaho with one mindset: all he needed was a shot. That opportunity led to a standout career, a College of Idaho national championship, a move to Division I basketball at Idaho State, and eventually a professional basketball career overseas. This conversation is packed with lessons for athletes, parents, coaches, and anyone chasing a goal that might not look realistic from the outside. Jake's story is about betting on yourself, staying ready when opportunity comes, building toughness through adversity, and learning how to become a professional before you ever get paid to be one. In this episode, we talk about: Growing up in Fruitland, Idaho Why Jake focused on motocross and golf before basketball How strength training changed his basketball career Why the weight room matters for young athletes Overcoming a major leg injury before his senior season Choosing Boise State golf before returning to basketball Walking on at the College of Idaho Winning Freshman of the Year as a walk-on The College of Idaho national championship run What made that C of I team special Transitioning from NAIA basketball to Division I at Idaho State How rebounding became Jake's calling card What overseas professional basketball is really like The mindset required to keep chasing the next level Whether you are a basketball player, coach, parent, Idaho sports fan, College of Idaho fan, Idaho State fan, or someone who loves an underdog story, this episode with Jake O'Neil is one you will want to hear.

The team went 20-6, playing before good crowds on the campus of Hood College, and was the top seed in the Atlantic Northeastern conference playoffs. Jenkins tells the story of how the team came to be, the sort of happenstance way of how they landed the winningest coach in TBL history, how they acquire players and the type of living they are able to make, the role it seeks to play in the Frederick County sports community and expectations for Season 2 from an operational and basketball standpoint. For the last seven years, Jenkins has run the largest high school basketball tournament in the country, the Governor's Challenge, at this time of year in Salisbury. He talks about the rewards and logistical challenges of staging such a tournament, which will feature 144 teams this year. Prior to that conversation, FNP sports writer Alexander Dacy joins Greg to discuss the upcoming holidays and the overall basketball scene in Frederick County, including the Flying Cows and the top boys and girls high school teams.

Welcome back to another exciting episode of "Mick Unplugged." I'm your host, Mick Hunt, and today, we have a true sports legend joining us—none other than Rick Barry. In this episode, we dive deep into Rick's storied basketball career and his transition to success in pickleball, where he's clinched numerous national championships. We explore his unique take on game fundamentals, including his famous underhand free throw technique, and his candid critique of modern NBA play. Rick shares nostalgic tales, like his missed 1964 Olympic opportunity, and opens up about his joy and pride in his sons' basketball careers, with special mention of Canyon Barry's impact on the 3x3 basketball scene. We also venture beyond the court as Rick discusses his new passion for pickleball, his entrepreneurial ventures like founding Pickle Zone, and his dedication to promoting health and wellness products. Plus, get insights into his lifelong love for fly fishing, his upcoming engagements in Australia and New Zealand, and his wishes for unity and progress in our country. It's a conversation filled with wisdom, nostalgia, and inspiration. So, stay tuned as we unplug with the one and only Rick Barry!Takeaways: ·       NBA teams should consider underhand free throw technique. ·       Competing in pickleball and winning national championships ·       Disappointment over not making the 1964 Olympic team Questions & Answers: 1.       Question:Mick Hunt: Rick, you've been a vocal advocate for the underhand free-throw technique. Why do you think it's not more widely adopted in today's NBA, even though it has a proven high success rate? Rick Barry: Mick, it boils down to ego and aesthetics. Players don't want to be seen as 'unconventional' or 'old-fashioned.' Despite its effectiveness, the underhand technique has a stigma. My success rate with it was over 92%, which proves its value. It's a missed opportunity for many players today. 2.        Question: Mick Hunt: You've mentioned that modern NBA players often lack deep understanding of game fundamentals. What specific fundamentals do you see as being most neglected? Rick Barry: players today often overlook positioning, screening, and teamwork dynamics. Natural talent is great, but without mastering these basics, it's hard to reach full potential. A strong foundation in fundamentals is crucial for long-term success in the game. 3.         Question: Mick Hunt: Let's talk about officiating. You've criticized the leniency towards moving screens and carrying violations today. How do you think stricter officiating could impact the game? Rick Barry: Better officiating would enforce proper gameplay, improving the quality and fairness of basketball. Uncalled violations allow bad habits to persist, making games sloppier. Stricter calls might slow the game initially but would elevate overall play and skill levels in the long run.

Almost two years ago, we spoke with Seth McCoy, who is well known on Social Media as The 6ix Shooter!! That episode (which can be found here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2SOWTy6h33pyzoekKEFPiH?si=18e67f983a564498) was a great way to learn about who Seth is and his backstory! Today, we are circling back and getting a follow up from that interview because SO MUCH has transpired since that time!  I mean, we're talking about his world record attempt, which was the summer of 2023 where he attempted to break the world record for the most three point attempts made in a 24 hour span of time. Turns out, it's actually pretty tough on the body to attempt such a feat. And we'll hear about it from the man himself, and learn whether or not he plans to attempt it again!  Seth has competed in professional basketball for the TBL with the Owensboro Thoroughbreds, he's competed in a 3 point competition which included a 6-figure cash prize, he's gone to All-Star Weekend in the NBA and was able to compete in a 3-Point Competition which he was able to win, and much more!  In the meantime, he's continued to do his live streams on TikTok where as of THIS point he's been able to hit 100 three pointers in a row, 56 different times!!  (At the time of this recording he was at 55, but less than 2 weeks later he hit his 56th time)  The guy can shoot the ball! He knows what it takes to be consistent and he's showing that to the world. Has he almost 'normalized' hitting 100 threes in a row though? What does he need to do in order to get more recognition? It's almost as if people 'expect' that of him now, without realizing JUST HOW HARD that is to hit 100 threes in a row.  Today we get to chat with him and catch up. And I truly hope you all enjoy the conversation with Seth! And I am going to tell you this, MAKE SURE, you hit him with that follow on all of his social platforms:  Follow The 6ix Shooter:  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the6ixshooter  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the6ixshooter_/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@The6ixShooter  Website: https://www.6ixshooteracademy.com/order-613924491707496304556  Also, there's an App in the App Store that has his shooting programs if you're looking for some awesome workouts and looking to improve your shooting.

Valdosta State University history professor (and Episode 244 guest) Tom Aiello ("Dixieball: Race and Professional Basketball in the Deep South") returns after a two-year absence - for an enlightening look at the curious cultural history of the city of Atlanta's awkward relationship with professional hockey. In his new book "White Ice: Race and the Making of Atlanta Hockey," Aiello interestingly juxtaposes the National Hockey League's aggressive expansion in the late 1960s/early 1970s (including a new WHA-hastened Flames franchise in 1972), against the city's de facto status as the "capital of the Deep South" - and its population's rapidly changing racial and socio-economic contours. To wit: For its own part, Atlanta had been watching as White residents left the city for the suburbs over the course of the 1960s. As the turn of the decade approached, city leadership was searching for ways to mitigate white flight and bring residents of the surrounding suburbs back to the city center. So when a stereotypically White sport came to the Deep South in 1971 in the form of the Flames, ownership saw a new opportunity to appeal to White audiences.  But the challenge would be selling a game that was foreign to most of Atlanta's longtime sports fans.   Against that backdrop, of course, the Flames (1972-80) lasted but only eight seasons - and its NHL successor Atlanta Thrashers (1999-2011) did not fare much better in the face of similar and arguably even more pronounced circumstances.   And yet, the "dream" of another franchise lives on. Might Atlanta get a third chance to finally make pro hockey stick?  What's changed (and hasn't) in the region's demographic landscape and economic calculus?     Listen in and find out!   + + +   SPONSOR THANKS: Royal Retros (promo code: SEATS):  https://www.royalretros.com/?aff=2   BUY/READ EARLY & OFTEN: White Ice: Race and the Making of Atlanta Hockey (2024): https://amzn.to/3vFQw5z   FIND & FOLLOW: Website: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill Instagram (+ Threads): https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable
