About this episode

Coach Brendan Suhr reflects on key takeaways from the NCAA Tournaments and discusses offseason coaching strategies.

In this episode, Coach Brendan Suhr reflects on the men’s and women’s NCAA Tournaments, breaking down key takeaways from the Final Four —emphasizing how defensive pressure, execution, and style of play ultimately decide games in March.
