Episode Notes
The Daly Dose of Hoops Podcast welcomes a head coach to the show for the first time in four years for its latest episode, and brings its New York/New Jersey core together with the site’s southern bureau in the process.
In this episode, host Jaden Daly is joined by southern bureau executive editor Brian Wilmer as co-host, and the two welcome Grant Leonard, head coach at Queens University of Charlotte. About to enter his fourth season as head coach of the Royals, Grant discusses with Jaden and Brian Queens’ transition process from Division II to Division I, the culture he has begun to build, as well as his own challenges as a first-time head coach and at the mid-major level. Grant also shares how he sells his program to a prospective recruit, his roster for next season, Queens’ outlook in the ASUN going into next season, and reveals some of his own influences and philosophies along the way.
