  The Basketballists Ep. 72 "1-10 Going D1" PSA Director Terrance "Munch" Williams & Coach Ike

  Aug 24, 20261h 45m

  Coach Ike and Munch from PSA sit down for one of the most honest AAU conversations we've had on the show. From the Double Clap and the real culture behind the program, to Munch's origin, PSA's college-level trip structure, and why the media game is being played the right way — this one is a masterclass in running a program with intention. We get into being honest with players, the reality of prep schools (South Kent, Blair, and how Black kids actually get there), NIL at the HS level, the transfer portal fallout, bench guys on EYBL teams, and why most kids aren't as good as they think. Plus — Munch's answer on whether winning Peach Jam actually matters, and what the kids have taught him along the way. If you're a coach, parent, or program director — you need this one.

  Episode #71

  The Basketballists Ep. 71 POWER OF A MOMENT | OSL/JellyFam Head Coach Peter Wehye

  Aug 5, 20261h 53m

  Coach Pete pulls up on Ep. 71 for one of the deepest conversations we've had on this show. From his OSL origins and the Bobby Hurley 13-call story, to coaching Posh & Jared Rhoden, to being part of the Overtime Elite documentary — Pete breaks down what it actually takes to develop players in today's game. We get into NIL and whether the bag at 14 is killing the hunger. The OTE experience and how Overtime disrupted the whole ecosystem. How to pour into players who might leave, navigate the "5 best players on one AAU team" problem, and balance motivation with Xs and Os. Plus — can you really play your way up? (Spoiler: yes, and Pete has the receipts.) If you coach, train, parent, or hoop at any level, this one's essential listening.
