Summary
In this episode, Arkansas Razorbacks assistant coach Chin Coleman opens up about his remarkable basketball journey and his vision for the future of Razorback basketball. Coleman shares how his early days coaching in Chicago's AAU circuit, where he developed some of the nation’s top talent, shaped his approach to recruiting and player development. Having worked under the legendary John Calipari, Coleman reflects on what it takes to succeed at the highest level of college basketball and how he brings those lessons to Fayetteville.
Known for his defensive acumen, Coleman discusses his role in crafting a top-tier defense and the relentless work ethic it requires.
