Bison Brothers Basketball Podcast Show

“Happy, not satisfied.”

In Part 2 of our interview with Coach Steve Ongley, we dig into the culture, challenges, and future of Howard Basketball. From recruiting high-character hoopers to navigating NIL and the transfer portal, Ongley gives us a masterclass in building AND sustaining a championship program at The Mecca.

This episode is full of real talk, scouting insight, and locker room-level honesty.

• What kind of player actually fits at Howard

• Why “relentless” defines the Bison culture

• Inside the locker room: accountability vs. entitlement

• The truth about NIL, transfers, and college basketball in 2025

• Breaking down MEAC rivals—and why Norfolk stays circled

• Season recap: what went wrong, what’s getting fixed

• Ongley’s scouting reports, coaching philosophy & growth mindset

• Favorite gyms, movies, and one-word mission statements

• Why Howard doesn’t sneak up on anyone anymore—and why that’s a good thing
