Summary

Head Coach of the Hofstra University Basketball Team, Speedy Claxton, calls into the show to talk about his background, his playing career under Jay Wright, being a first-round NBA pick, and winning an NBA title with the Spurs in 2003, as well as returning to Hofstra as an assistant and now head coach. Claxton says Hofstra isn’t satisfied just making the NCAA tournament and expects to win their first round matchup against Alabama, outlining scouting Bama's fast pace and three-point shooting, praising star Cruz Davis for staying and improving, and reflecting on how NIL and the transfer portal affect roster continuity and recruiting, which he says is now largely driven by money.
