Inside the Episode
It was a great week on the Slappin’ Glass podcast as we were joined by one of college basketball’s best coaches, Colorado State MBB Head Coach, Niko Medved. Coach Medved and the Rams enjoyed a terrific 21′-22′ season where they went 25-6 and enjoyed a trip to the NCAA Tournament. We enjoyed picking Coach Medved’s brain on a number or topics including:
- Building Confidence in Your Program: We discuss the process for Coach Medved in instilling confidence throughout a program and the lessons he’s learned in doing that along his journey at different stops.
- Staying Seamless on Offense: Coach Medved is considered one of the best offensive coaches in the country, and has a history of having his teams be in the top tier of college basketball in that realm. In this discussion we dive into how he teaches his teams to “stay seamless” in their ability to flow from action to action on offense.
- “Start, Sub, or Sit?!”: During this always interesting segment we have fun exploring late-game play calling, maintaining standards, defending DHO’s, and more.
