On DBR Bites #60, we preview Duke's upcoming game against UConn and we celebrate so many members of The Brotherhood coming back to campus! First, we preview Duke's upcoming football game against UConn this weekend. UConn is a team that struggled mightily against Maryland but turned it around against Merrimack.

There are a couple of skill players to watch as well as who could be under center for the Huskies. After the break, we get into some basketball stuff, led by a cool event that will be on campus on October 5th. Jason will be down at Duke for Dribble for Victory Over Cancer, an event that raises money for pediatric cancer research. Jason has created a DBR Podcast fundraising team, so join us to try and raise some money for a great cause! We then get into the latest Duke Blue Planet episode, where tons of basketball alums returned to campus for one fun weekend. But, the episode has an inadvertent focus on Khaman Maluach in a really cool way, as you see how his interactions with Dereck Lively and his coaches shows how coachable he is and how quickly he learns.

This week's episode is special because it marks the launch of a new Colossus show: Glue Guys. My guests this week are the hosts of the new show, Shane Battier, Alex Smith, and Ravi Gupta. Shane, Ravi, and Alex's stories are remarkable. Each has been at the very top of their profession. Shane as an NCAA and NBA champion. Alex as the first pick in the NFL draft, 3 time-pro bowler, and 16-year NFL veteran. Ravi as a leader at KKR, and then as a critical leader turning around & building Instacart, and now as a partner at Sequoia. But those parts of their stories pale in comparison to the stories you'll hear on Glue Guys.  Glue Guys is an unfolding manual for HOW to be a professional, a teammate, a leader, and even a friend and family member. In this episode of ILtB, we explore the general concept of glue guys—the people who are obsessed with helping the team win, whether they are the leader or newest member of the team. Please enjoy this conversation with Shane, Alex, and Ravi.

This is a listener participation episode of the Duke Basketball Roundup. In honor of Duke bringing in a super impressive-looking defensive roster for the 2024-25 campaign, Jason and Donald conduct a Duke Defense draft.

The DBR Podcast needs all of you to listen to the back half of the episode and then send us an email at DBRPodcast at gmail dot com to resolve which team is the better set of defenders! But, this latest episode begins with the breaking news that Dan Hurley is saying no to the Lakers are staying in college basketball. Jason and Donald spend a little time discussing what it says about the college game to have the hottest coach in the land pulling a Coach K and turning down a lucrative NBA offer. The guys also dive in the transfer portal to talk about the rash of high-profile ACC players who have decided the grass is greener next door -- guys who left one ACC team and landed right back in the conference on a rival squad. Mark our words... the first Duke-UNC transfer will happen someday soon... and everyone will lose their minds when it does! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Michael Schwartz enters his second season as head coach of the East Carolina men's basketball program after being appointed the 24th head coach in program history on March 16, 2022.In Schwartz's first season at the helm, the Pirates posted a 16-17 overall record and a 6-12 mark in conference play. The 16 wins were the most for the Pirate program in nearly a decade (2013-14) and the six conference victories tied for the most since the Pirates joined the American prior to the start of the 2014-15 season. ECU defeated South Florida 73-58 in the first round of the AAC tournament to win its first game in the tournament since 2017. Under Schwartz's guidance, Ezra Ausar led all AAC freshmen in field goal percentage at 56 percent (5th best in AAC) to become the first Pirate freshman since 2019 to be unanimously selected to the All-AAC Freshman Team. The Pirates were also one of the league's top offensive rebounding clubs at 12.2 per game and in rebounding margin at +2.1, led by Brandon Johnson's 8.1 rebounds and 10 double-doubles.Considered one of the most versatile and well-rounded assistant coaches in college basketball, Schwartz spent the last seven seasons on staff at the University of Tennessee – including four as the associate head coach. In the fall of 2019, Schwartz earned feature placement on The Athletic's list of the nation's top-25 up-and-coming college basketball coaches.  Schwartz also boasts valuable experience with USA Basketball, having served in a support capacity for the 2000 USA Youth Development Festival, the 2000 USA National Select Team—coached by Mike Jarvis and Bob Huggins and featuring future NBA stars Shane Battier and Jason Richardson—and the 2001 Young Men's World Championship Trials.

Bill Foran first got into strength training with a friend's set of vinyl weights from Sears. After studying physical education at Central Michigan, his first coaching job helped the smallest high school compete in its conference. He went from a grad assistant job at Michigan State to head strength coach at Washington State in just one year, helping turn around a football program that hadn't been to a bowl game in 50 years.The U came calling and Bill moved to Miami, where he prepared the football team to reach a 55-5 record and win two national championships. After consulting with the Miami Heat during their first season, the team hired Bill as one of the league's earliest strength coaches. The franchise became a legit contender when Pat Riley arrived in 1995, and won the 2006 title with Shaq, Dwyane Wade, and Alonzo Mourning. Bill also ran the weight room when the Big 3 of Wade, LeBron James, and Chris Both won two titles. After 29 seasons as the Heat's head strength and conditioning coach, Bill passed the torch to his son, Eric. Bill is also the author of several books, including Strength Training for Basketball.In this episode, Bill shares:How Wilt Chamberlain and Magic Johnson helped him get and keep his job with the Heat What Pat Riley wrote on the locker room whiteboard that inspired the Heat to come back from 2-0 down against the Mavericks and claim the 2006 titleHow Riley's leadership created The Heat Way and which key values it's based onWhat made Udonis Haslem and Keith Askins his favorite players to coachHow a Shane Battier speech sparked a 27-game win streak and championship run Why LeBron James has stayed so durable for so longWhere he thinks the sweet spot is between NBA load management and continual hard work

Today's episode is a special one, in a format that may turn into a series. It is a conversation between Ravi Gupta and Shane Battier. Ravi is a partner at Sequoia, one of our most popular past guests, and a good friend. Shane is Ravi's friend, and one of the most successful basketball players ever, having won championships and awards at the high school, college, and NBA levels.   I spent 10 years as a purely quantitative investor, so naturally I was obsessed with data in sports. When I was meeting with prospective investors, Michael Lewis's book Moneyball—which chronicled the data analytics revolution in baseball—was my go-to analogy to explain what I did… “Moneyball, but for investing.” I used that line for years.   I've learned firsthand that it's wise to follow your curiosity, no matter how strange or different it may be. The podcast is my curiosity tour, and years ago it led me to Sam Hinkie—who is himself on the Mt. Rushmore of analytics in sports. Sam introduced me to Ravi. Then Ravi sent me Michael Lewis' article written about Shane called “The No Stats All-Star.” I highly recommend you read it.   All this serendipity around friends, data, investing, and sports gave me an idea: why not ask Ravi to interview Shane? There were so many valuable ideas in the Michael Lewis article, I thought we'd get even more in a real taped interview with someone that knew Shane well, and that's exactly what happened. Ravi likes the idea of playing for the front of the jersey, not the back. It is hard to imagine someone that lived that more than Shane. Shane shares his story, lessons learned from various coaches, and using data as an advantage. He also explains the four kinds of teams he's encountered, which I found simple, and memorable.  I hope you enjoy this great conversation, and if you have ideas for other iconic duos we could bring on in a similar format, DM me on Twitter.
