Adam and Scott sit down with Andre and Isaac and share the story of what it truly means to be a part of a family.  In a time where we have had many difficult losses in our basketball community with student-athletes and most recently with Coach John Costello from Broad Run, we felt that having some good news would be important.
Special thanks to Andre and Isaac for sharing this story.  Merry Christmas Everyone.

Episode 5 - Dumb Stuff We Do

In this Episode #4, Adam and Scott talk about what's important in life and share some personal stories about life and officiating.  The highlight of this episode is the interview they have with ACC Basketball Official, Tim Comer.  Tim was one of the three officials on the court when a player from South Carolina State went into Cardiac Arrest.  We are able to pull back the curtain and learn what that moment looked like from the officials eyes.  The goal is that this episode will allow officials to learn about balance of life, family, friendships and basketball.  Enjoy!
