A podcast…
Just what the world needs - another podcast. But this one doesn't totally suck! Duffy Ballard and Dave Levine have started a podcast. It's about basketball. It's about Marin. It's about Marin basketball. But it's about more than that. Just... listen to it. It's real real good.
We both love hoops, and have spent the vast majority of our lives playing, coaching, watching, talking about, texting about, and obsessing over this sport. We are also both Marin natives with deep love for this area and the rich basketball history and culture of this county. We both have kids who play hoops. We both coach high school basketball. We both have wives who support us despite our weird obsession with this game. And we both have the same nerdy basketball friends who would rather argue about press breakers and zone sets than talk about our feelings. So we wanted to celebrate all that, while also providing some useful and insightful info for young (or old) players, coaches, parents, fans, or just people who can't sleep.
