The Pit Press LIVE! w/ @UNMLoboMBB Asst. Coach @CoachTomTank (Tom Tankelewicz)

How do you orchestrate one of the most electric, high-scoring offenses in college basketball? In this episode, we sit down with New Mexico Lobos Men's Basketball Assistant Coach and offensive coordinator, Tom Tankelewicz, to break down the DNA of UNM's lethal scoring system under head coach Eric Olen.

Coach Tank opens up about his personal basketball journey—from lighting it up as an elite shooter in college and playing professionally in Europe, to climbing the coaching ranks. We dive deep into his specific offensive philosophy, how the Lobos manipulate spacing to generate high-percentage looks, and why international recruiting has become a cornerstone of building a roster that fits this modern, fast-paced style of play.

Plus, Coach Tank shares what it's actually like walking out of the tunnel and feeling the deafening roar of 15,000+ passionate fans inside college basketball’s ultimate cathedral: The Pit.
