Episode Notes

Women’s basketball is exploding and we linked up with three of the best coaches in the country to break it all down: Dawn Staley, Cori Close, and Vic Shaefer. Matt and Stak get a real inside look at how South Carolina, UCLA, and Texas operate at the highest level and how NIL has reshaped recruiting across the board. Dawn also opens up about her interview with the Knicks and what really happened behind the scenes. The future of the women’s game is shining brighter than ever and this roundtable is a full masterclass on where the sport is headed.
