Blue Ribbon College Basketball Podcast, Ep. 171: Talking with Blue Ribbon contributing editors Joey Dwyer and Brett Friedlander about postseason play, coaching moves, and more.

In the newest episode of the Blue Ribbon College Basketball Podcast, hosts Chris Dortch—editor and publisher of Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook—and Kevin Ingram—the radio voice of Vanderbilt men’s basketball—discuss a variety of college basketball (and other) topics:

• College athletics directors need to make better hiring decisions. Better hirings result in fewer firings.

• UT Arlington’s loss is Troy’s gain as Scott Cross leads the Trojans to their second consecutive NCAA Tournament.

• Joey Dwyer tells us about how Nolan Smith, former Duke player and assistant coach, took over the Tennessee State job in July and led the Tigers to the NCAA Tournament.

• Brett Friedlander previews the ACC Tournament and talks about potential candidates for the openings at Boston College and Georgia Tech. He also sort of answers the question, “Who you got, Cameron Boozer or Cooper Flagg?”
