In this episode of the JAMODI Podcast, host Matt Sayman sits down with Preston Tabor, the new head men's basketball coach at Paris Junior College. After beginning the season as an assistant coach and being elevated to interim head coach just three games into the year, Tabor quickly embraced the opportunity and was officially named the head coach shortly after.Coach Tabor shares what it was like stepping into the head chair overnight, the leadership challenges that come with it, and how he immediately established the pillars of his program: togetherness and toughness.The conversation dives deep into building a culture where players take pride in doing the hard things that lead to winning — diving for loose balls, rebounding with physicality, communicating during adversity, and embracing a blue-collar identity. Tabor also discusses lessons learned from his time at the University of North Texas under Grant McCaslin and Ross Hodge, where he experienced elite defensive culture and championship-level preparation.Throughout the episode, Coach Tabor explains how intentionality, competitive practices, and player accountability shape the foundation of his program. He shares how small-sided games, constant competition in practice, and a focus on rebounding and defense create a mindset where players thrive in difficult moments rather than avoid them.Whether you're a coach looking to build a culture, a player wanting to understand what winning habits look like, or a leader seeking to develop toughness in your team, this episode is packed with practical insights and real basketball wisdom.Topics covered include:• Transitioning from assistant coach to head coach mid-season• Establishing culture through toughness and togetherness• The difference between playing hard and truly competing• Building a blue-collar team identity• Creating competitive practices that drive improvement• Teaching players to embrace adversity and thrive in tough moments• Defensive mindset and controlling the game without gambling• Developing rebounding habits and winning plays• Coaching with intentionality and clarityThis episode is a must-listen for coaches who want to build a program where players buy in, compete daily, and take pride in doing the hard things that lead to winning.Subscribe to the JAMODI Podcast for more conversations with basketball coaches and leaders about culture, program building, leadership, and player development.

Tabor also discusses lessons learned from his time at the University of North Texas under Grant McCaslin and Ross Hodge, where he experienced elite defensive culture and championship-level preparation.Throughout the episode, Coach Tabor explains how intentionality, competitive practices, and player accountability shape the foundation of his program. He shares how small-sided games, constant competition in practice, and a focus on rebounding and defense create a mindset where players thrive in difficult moments rather than avoid them.Whether you're a coach looking to build a culture, a player wanting to understand what winning habits look like, or a leader seeking to develop toughness in your team, this episode is packed with practical insights and real basketball wisdom.Topics covered include:• Transitioning from assistant coach to head coach mid-season• Establishing culture through toughness and togetherness• The difference between playing hard and truly competing• Building a blue-collar team identity• Creating competitive practices that drive improvement• Teaching players to embrace adversity and thrive in tough moments• Defensive mindset and controlling the game without gambling• Developing rebounding habits and winning plays• Coaching with intentionality and clarityThis episode is a must-listen for coaches who want to build a program where players buy in, compete daily, and take pride in doing the hard things that lead to winning.Subscribe to the JAMODI Podcast for more conversations with basketball coaches and leaders about culture, program building, leadership, and player development.

Comments from WVU MBB coach Ross Hodge on Saturday's game at UCF. Fairmont State MBB coach Tim Koenig on first place matchup with West Liberty Saturday. 

Griffin Warner talks betting for Thursday. Griffin Warner returned to the Pregame.com podcast network and the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with a compact Thursday card, looking to build on a college basketball win with Tulane on February 11 and push for a second straight result. The slate featured a single English Premier League match, a Copa del Rey semifinal first leg, and a lighter than usual college basketball board, before closing with a best bet and promotional offer. The lone Premier League fixture sends Arsenal across London to face Brentford, with the visitors installed as three quarter goal favorites on the road. Arsenal sit atop the league conversation after consecutive second place finishes in recent seasons and are navigating domestic and European commitments, including the Premier League title race, the Champions League, the Carabao Cup, and an upcoming FA Cup tie. Manager Miguel Arteta has been reluctant to rotate heavily, and squad depth has been tested amid a crowded schedule. Brentford, meanwhile, have been strong at home, earning notable results against bigger sides and benefiting from not competing in Europe. The total is set at two and a half shaded to the over, reflecting Brentford's scoring ability against an Arsenal side that typically controls possession and limits shots. Arsenal generate significant production from set pieces, while Brentford employ a similar approach with long throws and structured restarts. Warner indicated interest in Brentford plus three quarters of a goal, preferring to wait for a potential move to plus one as public support flows toward the league leaders. In Spain, Barcelona visit Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals. The two leg format places added emphasis on home performance, with the return match set for Barcelona. Atletico are slight home underdogs at a quarter goal, while Barcelona are favored to advance at minus 252 compared with Atletico at plus 209. The total sits at three and a quarter shaded to the over, consistent with Barcelona's attacking profile and defensive vulnerabilities. Atletico have long projected as a third place side in Spain, guided by an experienced manager and bolstered by increased spending that has shifted them toward a more offensive identity. Warner noted that a strong first leg result is critical for Atletico given the difficulty of the return trip, and expressed measured interest in the home underdog while acknowledging the market respect shown toward Barcelona. The college basketball schedule opens with Kennesaw State hosting Middle Tennessee State, followed by Missouri Valley Conference action including Charleston laying a point to Hofstra and Southern Illinois favored by 12 over Evansville ahead of Arch Madness. Memphis at North Texas stands out as the marquee matchup, with Memphis a one point road favorite and a total of 136.5. North Texas sits outside the current American Conference tournament picture and would benefit significantly from a home win. Memphis have shown recent improvement with victories over UAB and FAU but have been inconsistent and thinner on talent. North Texas, under new leadership after Ross Hodge departed for West Virginia, continue to lean on defense and a deliberate pace. Warner expects tempo control from the home side in what profiles as a grind. Additional matchups include Oregon State catching eight and a half at San Francisco, Belmont laying five to Northern Iowa after Bradley's overtime win, and a series of Big West contests featuring Hawaii, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, UC Irvine, and others. The episode concluded with a promotional code, Jumper20, valid for 20 percent off purchases at Pregame.com through February 23, and a best bet on under 136.5 in Memphis at North Texas, anticipating a low scoring contest dictated by the Mean Green.

WVU Collapse vs. Ohio State: Is Ross Hodge Already on the Hot Seat? Join us live as we break down the brutal, double-overtime heartbreaker against Ohio State! The Mountaineers blew a 16-point lead in the second half, ultimately falling 89-88 in the Cleveland Hoops Showdown. What went wrong? From a dominant start to a late-game collapse and an unused timeout that Coach Ross Hodge took blame for in a previous game, we're diving deep into the performance and the fallout. Honor Huff was spectacular, but the team's inability to close out a quality opponent raises serious questions. The big question Mountaineer Nation is asking: Is it time to panic? Despite being a highly-regarded defensive mastermind and coming off a hot start to the season, a growing number of fans are calling for Ross Hodge's job just months into his tenure. How much blame does Coach Hodge deserve for the late-game execution? What does this loss mean for WVU's non-conference resume heading into the Big 12? Should the Mountaineers have been better prepared for Bruce Thornton's late-game heroics? Tune in, leave your questions, and let us know in the chat: Is Ross Hodge the right coach for WVU, or is the pressure mounting too fast?

In just his fourth game at the helm, West Virginia head coach Ross Hodge delivered a signature win against the program's oldest rival.Thursday's Backyard Brawl wasn't simply a victory — it was a dismantling. Hodge's trademark defensive pressure smothered Pitt, holding the Panthers to just 49 points, while a poised and balanced Mountaineer offense sent four players into double figures.In this episode, the “Guys” break down every angle of the Brawl — the tactics, the tone, and the emerging storylines — before turning their attention to Saturday's football trip to Arizona State. Can Rich Rodriguez's squad pull off an upset in the desert?Listener questions and comments round out the show on Textual Healing.

WVU football and coach Rich Rodriguez are in the mix for two highly rated high school recruits for the 2026 class that previously committed to Penn State, but reopened their recruitment after the Nittany Lions fired James Franklin. In this live show, Couz will talk about both of those players and WVU's chances of landing them. He will also talk about a unique recruit WVU is going after, along with some WVU men's basketball talk. Kevin Brown is a 4-star offensive lineman with ties to WVU and it appears the Mountaineers are in a good spot to land him. However, they have tough competition with the Ohio State Buckeyes. Can WVU pull it off? Another star recruit WVU is in the mix for is 5-star Safety, Matt Sieg. The dual threat athlete is also committed to Penn State, but WVU has made his final cut for a unique reason. WVU could also sign a former pro basketball player. Couz will talk about that as well. Finally, Couz will give his take on WVU basketball's win over Campbell in game two of the Ross Hodge era. #wvu #wvufootball #wvumountaineers Sources: On3/Rivals: https://www.on3.com/rivals/news/west-virginia-building-momentum-for-a-major-flip-in-the-2026-class/ 247 Sports WVSportsNow: https://wvsportsnow.com/top-wpial-prospect-penn-state-commit-matt-sieg-to-take-wvu-ov/ WPIAL Insider: https://x.com/wpial_insider?s=21 ⭐️Sponsors: ⭐️ DraftKings Sportsbook: https://www.draftkings.com/ Appalachia Digital: http://appalachiadigital.com/couz/ Get Your Tailgating Stuff HERE: http://victorytailgate.pxf.io/CouzCornhole
