As the head men's basketball coach at George Washington, Jamion Christian brings a loving, caring approach to not only his current GW team, but also in his previous stops at Siena and Mount St. Mary's. Coach Christian takes us step by step through his coaching background, including his relationship with legendary coach Jim Phelan to working alongside Shaka Smart, Will Wade, and Mike Rhoades at VCU. 

Jamion also gives us a rundown of how important the  mindfulness side of the game is for his players, as he employs Greg Graber (Episode 8 guest) to lead his team towards better mindfulness practices. Coach Christian also touches on the current racial tensions, Name-Image-Likeness, the proposed One-Time Transfer Rule, His approach with referees, and his best experiences with dinner entrees on in-home visits with recruits.
