Here we sit at the midway point of our season.  Lot's to improve upon, but also so much to be proud of.  You'll here from two former Lady Bulldog players - Tori Sudeiha and Sarah Elizabeth Freeman.  Sarah Elizabeth's story is LEGENDARY. We talk about being 14-2, and while most would assume it's smooth sailing, there are always fires to put out.

This is a celebration with several former coaches and players looking back over the years.  Some funny and sappy stories to share.  I also share for the first time "the letter" -  the letter some anonymous parent sent asking me to resign for a "job poorly done".   I share this letter to illustrate that we will all have detractors, just don't let them rob you of your passion. To my players, coaches, parents, and friends....Thank you!!!!  Here's to the next 400.

Darnell Archey became a household name when he helped Butler defeat Rick Pitino's Louisville Cardinals in the NCAA Tournament.  Today he is the head coach at the University of Mobile. Coach Archey talks about his path through the basketball world as a player, and to where he is today, as a head coach.  Coach Archey talks about some of his accomplishments as a player including his time competing against current Auburn Basketball Coach Bruce Pearl.

Kristy Curry is the Head Women's Basketball Coach at the University of Alabama.  One of only 10 coaches in the country with 100 wins at 3 different schools - Alabama, Purdue, Texas Tech.   Our friendship began many years ago at the Leon Barmore Camps, and I've followed her success throughout the past three decades. One of the nicest people on the planet, but don't let that fool you, she's one of the fiercest competitors in the game.  This was a fun episode to record.

This topic cannot be talked about enough.  The coach /parent relationship is vital for any team or program to have ultimate success.  We invited Coach Jerry Hernandez back, the author of the "Athletic Trinity', to discuss with us some more ideas about this dynamic. For a team to succeed, and for the player to have the best possible experience, the coach and parent must work together.
