For this episode I am joined by a former girls varsity basketball coach, current social studies teacher and author – Carl Pierson. Carl spent 17 seasons as head coach at 4 different high schools and is also the executive director of the MN girls basketball coaches association. He is also the author of two books – “The Politics of Coaching” and “The Other Side of Glory”. Carl and I chat about his head coaching days, how basketball helped shape him as a person, AAU basketball, his favorite Twitter account and his current bout with cancer.
