Tamara Inoue is in her 10th year at the helm of the UC Irvine women's basketball program in 2025-26. After taking over a team that had two winning seasons in 15 years, Inoue brought a renewed energy and mindset that paid off immediately. In her first year with her own recruits, the Anteaters had the second best turnaround in all of NCAA Division I. Since then, they have won a Big West tournament and regular season title, produced five 20-win campaigns and made four national postseason tournament appearances.Last season, Inoue became the all-time winningest head coach in UCI women's basketball history. She eclipsed the school record with her 159th victory on February 27. The Anteaters went on to secure their fourth-straight 20-win campaign (21-10), finished second in the Big West standings (15-5), and advanced to the semifinals of the conference tournament for the fifth time in her nine seasons. For the third-straight year, UC Irvine was ranked among the top-15 in the nation in scoring defense as they finished 10th at 54.3 points allowed per game. Déja Lee and Hunter Hernandez claimed two of the six spots on the All-Big West First Team, while Summah Hanson was named the Best Sixth Player. In 2023-24, Inoue's squad won the program's second Big West Championship and first in 29 years. The ‘Eaters earned a No. 13 seed in the NCAA Tournament, and closed out the campaign with a 23-9 overall record (16-4 Big West). For the second year in a row, UCI was ranked in the final College Insider Women's Mid-Major Poll (23rd) and was among the nation's best in scoring defense (14th, 55.7 ppg). Déja Lee made history as UC Irvine's first Big West Women's Basketball Player of the Year. Moulayna Johnson Sidi Baba was also named the Big West Newcomer of the Year, while Diaba Konate was tabbed the league's Best Defensive Player.Inoue came to Irvine from New Mexico State where she was an integral member of the women's basketball staff from 2011-16. She spent her last two seasons as an associate head coach and also served as the interim Senior Woman Administrator in 2015-16.During her tenure as an associate head coach, NM State made back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances, while capturing the Western Athletic Conference regular-season and tournament titles both years. The Aggies ended the 2015-16 campaign with a 26-5 overall record, tying the school record for single-season victories.Inoue joined the New Mexico State staff after a three-year stint as an assistant coach at Santa Clara University. Prior to that, she spent six years playing and coaching in Australia. Inoue's professional playing career was cut short due to injury, but following rehabilitation she returned to coach in Australia's Victorian Basketball League (VBL). Inoue earned VBL Coach of the Year honors in 2006-07 with the Nunawading Spectres. She also guided the Knox Raiders to a national championship the following season with a 27-1 record. In addition to her head coaching duties, Inoue helped run the Melbourne Roos club team, assisting in developing several NCAA Division I athletes who went on to play in the U.S.Inoue has strong ties to the Orange County area and The Big West as she attended Laguna Hills High School and Long Beach State. She played at LBSU from 2000-02, where she was a two-time All-Big West honorable mention selection and led the league in assists as a senior (5.9 apg). In her first year, Inoue helped the Beach advance to the third round of the 2000 Women's National Invitation Tournament. She went on to graduate with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice in 2002.Inoue prepped at Laguna Hills High School, and was inducted into the Hawks' Hall of Fame in January 2017. She was a USA Today honorable mention All-American as a senior after averaging 14.0 points per game. A two-time league MVP, Inoue set single-game school records for points (30), assists (12) and steals (12).

On the show Ryan McIntyre (@Moneyline_Mac) and Noah Bieniek (@NoahB77_) break down every single WAC basketball team and key in on how they think the conference race will shake out.

Can Drew, Foster, and co lead the Lopes to a second weekend in the NCAA Tournament? Which program challenges Grand Canyon the most this season? Which schools have great home court advantages? What basketball cultures should we be betting on to finish near the top of the conference standings? Which teams have the most suffocating defenses? How many offenses are game-changing in this league? Which coaches have something to prove? Which players could land on the First Team? Which team in Utah will have the best season this year? What about in the state of Texas? Mac and Bieniek finish the Western Athletic Conference College Basketball Preview with some takes. What are their projected standings at the end of the year?

Join me as I sit down with Jeff Watkins, a 2004 state champion and a Davis High School Hall of Famer, to explore the dynamic real estate market of Southern Utah. Ever wondered if we're heading toward a real estate bubble in Washington County? We explore this question while sharing a lighthearted conversation about childhood dreams and our mutual love for hot dogs. Jeff and I even dive into the local sports scene, reminiscing about the football season and the buzz surrounding Utah Tech's first year in the Western Athletic Conference.Our discussion turns to the latest market trends, where sellers seem to have the upper hand. With an average sold price increase of 6% and the median price up by 3%, we dissect what's at play. From bustling developments in Zone Six to the potential impacts of the PGA Championship, there's a lot reshaping Southern Utah's landscape. We also touch on mortgage intricacies, such as why bond markets matter more than the Federal Reserve's moves, and explore innovative ideas like listing homes with potential monthly payments.Lastly, we tackle the challenges homebuyers face with rising costs and limited inventory. With fewer homes available than in previous years, we discuss the implications of increasing construction costs and the impact of remote workers with higher incomes moving into the area. As we explore new developments like the expansion of St. George Airport and the proposed Northern Corridor project, we consider the balance between development and conservation, reflecting on the unique environmental and political challenges that lie ahead.Find admission to HAC 3rd Annual Attainable Housing Forum here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hac-3rd-annual-attainable-housing-forum-tickets-1000526360277Looking for a Real Estate expert?

When it comes to the Drews, basketball is in their blood. You'd be hard-pressed to find a family with more years of coaching experience than Homer Drew and his sons, Scott and Bryce. Homer coached for 41 years at a number of schools, including a long stint at Valparaiso University from 1988-2011, aside from the 2002-03 season when Scott served as head coach. It was there that, in 1998, Homer led the 13th-seeded Crusaders to their first-ever Sweet 16 appearance, a run that included one of the signature moments in NCAA Tournament history when Bryce hit a buzzer-beater to knock off fourth-seeded Ole Miss in the opening round. Scott spent nine seasons as an assistant at Valparaiso before taking over as head coach and winning the regular-season conference title. He then took over as head coach of Baylor University, where he won the 2021 NCAA championship and has been named the Big 12 Coach of the Year three times. Homer came out of retirement to return as head coach at Valparaiso until he handed over the job to Bryce in 2011. Bryce remained in that job until becoming the head coach at Vanderbilt University in 2016. He now serves as the head coach at Grand Canyon University, where in 2021 he guided the program to its first Western Athletic Conference regular season and conference championships, and thus its first-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament. Faith has guided all three of them in their coaching careers, and their relationship with Scott Linebrink goes back to the days at Valparaiso. They join Scott this week on “Get in the Game” to reflect on their careers, the joy they get in coaching, and how they try to reflect God in their careers. "Get in the Game" is part of the Sports Spectrum Podcast Network.
