The mark of a great coach goes beyond strategy — it’s built on love, respect, and a lifelong dedication to the game.
In this episode of Interludes, host Valarie “The Voice” Johnson sits down with Tony Thompson, women’s basketball coach and mentor in the Women’s National Developmental League (WNDL), which operates alongside the WNBA. Thompson opens up about his coaching philosophy, his approach to developing players on and off the court, and his own beginnings as an NCAA athlete.
A thoughtful conversation on leadership, mentorship, and the lessons that basketball continues to teach long after the final buzzer.
