Title: Can a Marriage Survive a Basketball Season?

Subtitle: An unfiltered conversation with the person who has watched every game from the other side of the scorer's table

Show Notes

Coaches talk to other coaches all the time. They rarely hand the microphone to the person who actually lives with the job. In this episode Coach Collins interviews his wife, and the conversation goes places most coaching podcasts do not.

What we cover:

How she describes the job to people who ask

The answer is never "he coaches basketball." It is closer to a second household, a second family, and a calendar that belongs to somebody else from October to March.

The moment she knew what she signed up for

The first season, the first bad loss, the first time the community had opinions about her husband at the grocery store.

What actually helps after a loss

Coaches come home wired or wrecked. She breaks down what works, what backfires, and why "you guys should have pressed" is never the right sentence.
