In this week's basketball coaching conversation, Utah Jazz assistant coach Mike Williams joins the Basketball Podcast to share insights on after action offensive concepts.Mike Williams joined the Utah Jazz as an assistant coach in 2023, serving under head coach Will Hardy. His rise to the NBA coaching ranks followed a standout tenure as head coach of the Capital City Go-Go, the G League affiliate of the Washington Wizards. During the 2022–23 season, Williams led the Go-Go to a franchise-best 25–7 record, establishing the team as one of the top-performing units in the league. His leadership helped the Go-Go finish with one of the most efficient offenses in the G League, despite operating with a roster that lacked consistent perimeter shooting. Williams emphasized pace, spacing, and decision-making, and his teams were known for their ability to execute in late-game situations and adapt to personnel strengths.Williams began his coaching career with the Washington Wizards organization in 2018 as a player development assistant, where he worked closely with NBA players returning from injury and helped guide on-court rehab and skill development. He later served as an assistant coach and director of player development for the Go-Go before being promoted to head coach in 2021.

Scott Hyland returned to the Bench and drew the short straw, having to team up with Josh, for this music-heavy Mason-hosted game. After the first two questions Josh proclaimed that the game was #toomuchminnesotaadjacent, but it did not take long for him to get super salty during the second quarter (and not solely due to a repeat quarter style). However, classical music saved the day and lifted Josh out of his salt funk. We discovered that Reggie Roby was a three-sport athlete as he was a catcher for the Colorado Rockies and a big man for the Washington Wizards. Walling invented a new genre of music known as Bafredwa (not sure which larger genre it fits within, but it's probably yacht rock, knowing Walling). And we had a lively discussion about tall and ugly Wizards (Gandalf excluded). #rjharvey #music #salty #classicalmusic #reggieroby #coloradorockies #washingtonwizards #bafredwa #yachtrock #gandalf https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Send us a textThe WNBA's two-season approach to draft lottery odds offers a more equitable system than the NBA's single-season method. Teams with sustained struggles like the Wizards deserve better draft positions to genuinely rebuild rather than rewarding teams experiencing temporary setbacks or intentionally tanking.• NBA currently bases draft lottery odds on just the previous season's performance• WNBA uses the previous two seasons' records to determine lottery odds• Washington Wizards finished second-worst in consecutive seasons but only received the sixth pick• Two-season approach would make tanking much more difficult and less appealing• 76ers receiving the third pick despite having Joel Embiid raises questions about equitable distribution• Teams genuinely struggling for multiple years (Wizards, Hornets, Jazz) would benefit most from a two-season system• Analysis of how WNBA teams' draft positions would change under different systems• A longer evaluation period ensures help goes to teams that truly need itPlease like, subscribe, comment, and tell anyone who's anyone about the show.
