Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 388: The Crosse Commission Podcast Ep. 186: Opening up the Mailbag
Q: How might the NCAA selection criteria change affect scheduling and tournament access?
They discuss the Powerwise proposal and head-to-head emphasis, noting potential changes in 2028 or later, with concerns about standardizing schedules and how balance between conferences could influence at-large bids.
Episode 388: The Crosse Commission Podcast Ep. 186: Opening up the Mailbag
Q: What is the latest thinking on Maryland's offensive coordinator hire and potential candidates?
The hosts acknowledge there is no clear frontrunner yet, entertaining multiple external and internal candidates, including alumni and sitting coordinators, while highlighting uncertainty and the possibility of an assistant coach who can contribute beyond just offense.
Episode 375: The Crosse Commission Podcast Ep. 175: No Joke! Bracketology with Mark Hart
Q: If Richmond goes undefeated, what seed are they realistically likely to get?
Undefeated Richmond would likely sit around the top of the seed line, possibly as a 1 or 2 seed, because their undefeated record combined with their schedule strength and win profile creates a strong case for a high seed, though the exact seed would still depend on the performances of North Carolina and Syracuse and the committee's weighting.
Episode 375: The Crosse Commission Podcast Ep. 175: No Joke! Bracketology with Mark Hart
Q: What is the dividing line between Syracuse and Carolina at the moment?
UNC has one extra top-five win and a better record against top opponents, plus a stronger RPI, while Syracuse carries more top-20 wins and a tougher schedule. Taken together, UNC edges Syracuse on traditional selection criteria, though the margin could shift with upcoming results.
Episode 329: The Crosse Commission Podcast Episode 126 - Interview With University of Notre Dame Assistant Coach Chris Wojcik
Q: How do you adjust to the different ebbs and flows of the game?
Every game is different; I assess what adjustments need to be made based on how the game is progressing.
