Welcome to the early June edition.

We have the Donald R. Shepard, Director of Athletics, Ward Manual, stopping by.

And lots more to talk about.

A lot happening in the athletic department.

You are listening to In the Trenches.

Let's go In the Trenches with John Jansen.

The former Wolverines captain in Michigan Sports Hall of Famer

will take you inside the locker room with players and coaches.

His love of this place, his passion, how deep it is.

And so I just, you know, I'm so happy with the outcome.

Now I don't have time to even remember about the time.

Once again, here's John Jansen.

Well, with the school year wrapped up, the student athletes are in summer conditioning. We also have

the addition of a new basketball coach. Joanne Howard joins us from the Miami Heat, obviously

one of the Fab Five members.

And I'm going to bring in Brian Bush, who you guys know very well from our In the Trenches

and our pregame show when we get into the fall.

Brian, I thought that this hire, especially given the timing of everything, was a great hire from Michigan.

You get a chance to bring back a basketball alum, a guy that had success here as a player,

had success as an NBA player for 19 seasons, and then went on to be a coach that has earned his stripes as an assistant coach.

He's been for eight years with the Miami Heat, has learned a lot and has a great reputation.

A lot of other NBA franchises were interviewing him for a head coaching spot.
