Workmanlike 45 minute interview with Coach: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e ... 0476064099

Three things impressed me: first CBR's consistency. Longtime followers of FurmanHoops won't find a lot new, here. But isn't that refreshing that our young coach has already adopted a formula that works for him and works, period? No flavor-of-the-month gyrations; no "where did that come from?" revelations or pronouncements; simply a relentless focus on what we've been hearing all along. But don't think for a moment this is a boring 45 minute rehash. That's the second thing that impresses me - Coach doesn't "mail it in" in these interviews. This is just one more example of Coach delivering his sermon refreshingly and with conviction. I don't think I'm alone in saying I can never get enough of CBR's basketball insight in particular and life-messages in general. Third and finally, the interviewer Jamie Shaw does an excellent job, here. He's clearly done his homework in crafting each of his questions. And the scope of the interview - from Bob's coaching journey to his coaching philosophy, to his expectations for the league, the schedule, the team, and individual player particulars - left me feeling fulfilled. Play this while doing house-chores this weekend and see if you don't find yourself hitting "rewind" more than a few times. I'm hoping listeners will enjoy it as much as I did.
