  • Not bad!

    As a big WVU basketball fan, I searched the podcasts and found this. The host is a little quirky, but after I listened to a few episodes I realized Josh knows stuff and always keeps it light and stays grounded. I would recommend it to any WVU fan out there.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Prediction Time with Mike Casazza
Q: How does the math work now in the short term for basketball and maybe long term?
The funds from college athletes appear to be based on revenue sharing and NIL money, and these two aspects can be viewed as a combined sum contributing to player salaries.
Buckets and Battles with Drew Schifino
Q: What are your initial impressions of Ross Hodge?
Drew thinks he's a great coach who focuses on defense and rebounding, but questions whether his style will adapt to the players at WVU.
Buckets and Battles with Drew Schifino
Q: What advice would you give to those in basketball on how to maneuver in the situations where politics come into play?
Drew emphasized that politics has always been present, and the lack of social media back then hindered players from having a voice.
Buckets and Battles with Drew Schifino
Q: What would you describe for that one season under Gil Catlett?
Drew described it as chaos, reflecting the tumultuous nature of that season at WVU.
Buckets and Battles with Drew Schifino
Q: What made you want to write a book?
Drew Schifino wanted to share his basketball journey and experiences, which he had previously documented in journals.
