Rick Neuheisel was a Rose Bowl MVP quarterback at UCLA, who made a successful transition from playing, to coaching and now broadcaster. I was fortunate enough to work with him for 3 seasons at Pac-12 Network and we swapped some stories about the first few years after we launched. Rick explained how he built cultures when he arrived at a program, what some of the best wins felt like and how the losses were crushing. Unlike the pros (he was the offensive coordinator with the Baltimore Ravens), he had to recruit players out of high school and told some funny stories including jumping off a cliff in Hawaii with Manti Te’o. If you’re a sports fan I can guarantee you’ll enjoy this conversation.Rick Neuheisel: @CoachNeuheiselMike Yam: Twitter and Instagram: @Mike_Yam Facebook: Mike Yam

Utah Men’s basketball coach Larry Krystkowiak is the latest guest on the Give Me a Sense podcast. The former 2nd round NBA pick relives what it was like to get drafted and explains why in some ways the night was a “nightmare” according to him. Krystkowiak spent time around some of the greatest players of all time (Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Shaq, and Penny Hardaway) and shares how those players impacted him. In some ways Phil Jackson, who won 11 NBA titles as a coach, in many ways is the reason why Larry is a coach and you’ll hear why. Host Note:The passion for the game is clear when you hear Larry speak. I’m a huge NBA fan and I found myself caught up in throwing out names just to hear stories about players he either coach or played with. I think any basketball fan will enjoy this show.Utah Men’s Basketball: @Runnin_UtesLarry Krystkowiak: @LKrystkowiakMike Yam: @Mike_Yam Twitter and InstagramFacebook: Mike Yam
