‘Vertical Defenders Needed' (Year 8, Episode 2)

The DC Coaches Basketball Podcast

With Gordo on the mend, Tap is back is the U.S. sharing his thought that there aren’t enough rim protectors, particularly since hand-checking was disallowed. As always, Coach Knoche leads the group though a spirited conversation; this week about why pro coaches shy away from developing players in the best interests of winning now; the increasingly valuable role of the G League and the need for the return of the palm violation. The week’s 'friend of the pod’ mention goes to Coach Rick Barnes.
