Summary

Josh Eilert has finally been able to take a deep breath.

Finally, there's a sense of calm after the most tumultous season in West Virginia Universtiy basketball history.

The departure of Bob Huggins and unexpected loss of several players made WVU basketball a national story of dysfunction this summer.

The new man in charge, at least for this season, is the only staff member that lasted throughout Huggins' 16 seasons at West Virginia.

Amidst the chaos, Eilert has successfully replenished the Mountaineer roster and worked tirelessly to build fractured player relationships.

In this episode, Eilert explains his plan for the upcoming season, and how his retooled coaching staff and players are preparing for the challenges that lie ahead.
