On this weeks show, Kurt and Chad talk with two basketball coaches who have a combined 50 plus years of experience. We hear about the influence a coach can have on a player - not just on the hardwood but for an entire life. High school Head Coaches Chris Renner (of Ballard High School) and Jimmy Just (of Manual High School) have both produced Division 1 basketball players (including current University of Louisville players Quinton Snyder and Dewayne Sutton) and even a state championship. But with all of the accomplishments on the courts, Chris and Jimmy are proudest of the impact they can have in a player’s life long after they quit playing basketball.
