Episode Notes

The Daly Dose of Hoops Podcast returns with another profile of one of the coaches the site will spend more time with this coming season!

In preparation for the site’s expansion into Philadelphia and the Big 5 this November, host Jaden Daly is joined once again by southern bureau executive editor Brian Wilmer as co-host to welcome Darris Nichols to the podcast. Nichols, who Brian spent the past five seasons covering at Radford, took over for the legendary Fran Dunphy earlier this offseason at La Salle. Jaden and Brian help you get to know Nichols better in this episode, highlighting his playing days under John Beilein and Bob Huggins; as well as sharing a backcourt with Boston Celtics head coach and NBA champion Joe Mazzulla. Over the course of this episode, Nichols talks passionately and profoundly about basketball, life, and expectations for the new endeavor in the City of Brotherly Love.
