On this episode of the Rising Coaches Podcast, we’re joined by Sean Dwyer, Assistant Coach with the Phoenix Suns. Dwyer has built an impressive coaching career with stops at Michigan State, Florida, Arkansas, Alabama, Northern Kentucky, Cincinnati, Loyola Chicago, and now with the Phoenix Suns. His experience across multiple college programs and the professional level has given him a unique perspective on what it takes to build sustained success. In this episode we discuss the one characteristic he’s seen consistently across successful programs, the biggest adjustment he faced moving from college coaching to the NBA, and how assistants can find their team's identity within a program and recruit players who truly fit that identity.
