About this episode

Coach Gottlieb discusses March Madness and interviews guests about their experiences and insights on college basketball.

Coach Gottlieb talks March Madness, why it means so much to him, and why he firmly believes it’s the greatest postseason tournament in sports. Then, UWGB Assistant Keil Ganz discusses his circuitous path from UWGB Student Manager to Assistant, his next step, what made this season so special with the Phoenix, and looks back at COVID life on the 6 year anniversary of the cancellation of college hoops at the front end of the global shutdown. Next,  Field of 68 Analyst Rob Dauster discusses the growth and success of Field of 68 , the BIGGEST story of this college hoops season, if Jon Scheyer is ready to break through and win a title, which Power 5 teams are most likely to make Final Four, and if the era of the mid-major Cinderella Final Four team is a thing of the past, and why programs should start including buyouts in NIL deals.  Subscribe NOW to get all the latest Doug Gottlieb Show Podcasts and exclusive original content!
