Summary

On today's show, Rich talks to LeVelle Moton, head coach for North Carolina Central University, a powerhouse in HBCU basketball, and widely regarded as one of the nation's most inspiring and successful coaches. Moton's life story, a testament to beating the odds, deep faith, and seizing opportunities, has the plot points of a Hollywood movie. Moton talks about growing up in a rough Boston neighborhood, the life-changing moment in his childhood when he saw a local musical group, New Edition, perform on national television, and the life lessons he's learned from mentors, including coaches John Calipari and Mike Krzyzewski.
