He encapsulates everything that Nored will bring to the table because of his connection to the program and his recent time in the NBA.

(26:40-42:34) – John Sadak, Reds TV & Westwood One play-by-play broadcaster, joins Jake Query to preview the start of the season tomorrow for the Cincinnati Reds. Their conversation starts by discussing the current health of the Reds pitching staff, identifies managing Elly De La Cruz throughout the season as one the things Terry Francona will really focus on this season, and shares what he learned from watching Iowa upset Florida in the Round of 32.

(42:34-50:19) – The first hour of the show concludes with Jake sharing some more notes that he gathered during Butler’s head coaching search regarding John Groce and Travis Steele.

(50:19-1:13:56) – Ed Carpenter from ECR joins Query & Company to explain how his partnership with AES came about, the unveiling of the car that he will drive in this May’s Indianapolis 500, explains what makes a great leader and who the best leader that he has encountered in his life, and shares his excitement for Butler basketball with Ronald Nored being hired as the head coach earlier today.

(1:13:56-1:33:01) – Elliot Bloom, Director of Men’s Basketball Administration and Operations, joins Jake Query to detail how team’s go about travel planning and coordinating with the NCAA during the tournament, gives his perspective on what has led to the Boilermakers looking like a freight train now, compliments on the type of person that Trey Kaufman-Renn is because he’s different than most college student-athletes, and the excitement that he has for Luke Ertel joining the program next season.

(1:33:01-1:38:32) – Hour number two of Query & Company concludes with Jake asking producer Eddie Garrison some questions about witnessing a no-hitter or a perfect game.

(1:38:32-2:01:38) – Former Butler Bulldog Matt Howard joins Query & Company to help Jake try to start trusting people with two first names, shed some light on how he knew Ronald Nored would be a coach back when they were playing together at Butler, does agree that it is swimming uphill a little bit when it comes to the resources available for Butler basketball, relives the two Final Four runs for the Bulldogs, and identifies Brad Stevens and the coaching staff at Butler during his time there was the best staff he ever played for.

(2:01:38-2:14:35) – Fresh off their NAIA Women’s National Championship win last night, Marian’s Suntana Anderson joins the show on the way back to Indiana to recap the game last night, identify who stepped up their play during the tournament, reveals when she knew that this group had the right ingredients to make a run, and how it feels appropriate the Knights won a championship this season after all the adversity the team had to overcome this season.
