Summary

Colin’s joined by legendary sportswriter and New York Times best-selling author Ian O’Conner!

They start with how Rick Pitino was able to take over at St. John’s and turning the program into one of the best in the country, and why he’s one of the greatest college basketball coaches of all-time (4:00).

They pivot to Duke and why the team was able to retain its status as a top college basketball program under Jon Scheyer after legendary coach Mike Krzyzewski retired, and what makes Scheyer such an effective coach (7:15).

They move to the NBA and discuss why the Knicks were able to build their best team in years but still needing to make moves to get over the hump and win a title, and whether coach Tom Thibodeau can survive an early round playoff exit (11:45).

They try to decipher the lack of clarity surrounding the future of Aaron Rodgers, whether he’ll retire if the Vikings decide not to sign him, and whether the Giants or Steelers would be the better backup plan (23:00).

They discuss UConn basketball taking a step back this year under Dan Hurley, whether it was as ugly behind the scenes as it was on the court and why Hurley was able to overcome some serious roster deficiencies (28:00). They also debate where the 2024 UConn national championship team ranks amongst the all time greatest college basketball teams (33:00).

They talk about what’s been missing from college basketball in recent years and the NIL has become a life preserver for the sport (37:45).

They recap the Dodgers recent moves to build an all-star team and Colin asks whether the Steinbrenner family has made missteps that have led the Yankees to fall behind LA despite making more money (44:30).

Finally, they discuss the decline of the art of the sports column and why Ian gravitated towards writing books (51:30).
