In today's episode, recorded on December 9, 2024, I am joined by former La Salle coach and newly minted Big 5 Hall of Famer Dr. John Giannini. In a wide-ranging interview, Giannini talks about how honored he is to be recognized by the Big 5; insight into his time at La Salle, particularly the Explorers' 2013 run to the NCAA Sweet 16; a breakdown of the six Big 5 teams; and suggestions on how to improve the Big 5 Classic, which he likes.
