Seven years ago, we launched Episode 1 of the Basketball Podcast with guest Dave Paulsen — then the head coach at George Mason. Today, after more than 400 episodes, we’re revisiting where it all began. What started as one conversation has grown into a global hub of coaching insights, connecting basketball minds everywhere.
In this original episode, Paulsen breaks down his philosophy on game preparation — from practice design to game week routines, opponent scouting, self-scouting, and the day‑to‑day details of running a successful program. His ideas remain just as relevant now, sparking fresh thinking for coaches at every level.
