    At the rate coaches are getting fired nowadays, Will Hardy will be without a job if the Jazz don’t win a chip next year .

    I'm always amazed that people discussed player's height like it's a mythical thing, can't they just measure them ?

  8. Mike K

    Will said what we are all thinking 😂 after the unnecessarily long intros and "amusing" anecdotes, there's only like 5 mins of actual basketball talk here 😂 come on, guys

  9. Aiesha Daniels

    46:44 He is talking like HE KNOWS THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT JOE DID! Y'all think Jo shouting I LOVE YOU when he throws down the CLIP BOARD he's like y'all wake the heck up! IME been through with the CELTICs the whole of last year and they had stretches of it at the wrong time with Jo! The JAYs need mature and be more team players than oh hey my turn your turn hero ball. It's why they lost a game to Will's JAZZ whom will only get better!!!

    This guy would have been the Celtics coach if Ume's discretions had come out sooner. Ainge got the boot so he took Boston's best coaching prospect. Who thought the Jazz were going to win more than 20 games without Golbert and Mitchell.

  13. Kenny

    Wow these candid interviews with these guests (especially head coaches) are so fun to watch, great job guys.

  15. Brandon Singh

    This is one of the best pods for real hoops fans. Can only hope you guys get Jamahl Mosley on here some day. MacMahon should have a relationship with him from the Dallas days

  16. Kenneth Kinkel

    Denver is another place as Bruce Brown will be leaving! They will need a Pg to run 2nd unit! Talking about CP3 that is.

  17. bb1111116

    Great to hear coaching strategies which doesn’t get talked about much on other NBA shows/pods.

    Will Hardy got a hardy task ahead of him trying to make playoffs in west.

    So much more interesting than what garbage ESPN produce AKA first take, and its early morning show (dont care to know the show title). Can sport talk show more informative and intelligent? SHow Steve A Smith sold his soul to devil aka FOX news. What a sell out.

    It must be tough to be a HC under Ainge, especially when he has stockpiled so many future first round picks. Your line up could change dramatically from season to season. I do wonder when Ainge will make his move though. They have a lot of draft capital in ‘25 and ‘27, which is good for the 2030 season but …

  21. ANANZI

    Great interview. So interesting listening to Coach Hardy talk hoops. Love it

  25. blablablaa

    The greatest praise I can give Will Hardy is that I am hoping he become the Spurs head coach after Pop retires (a job that could go the rest of Will's life frankly)

  29. Arash Tadjiki

    I feel so lucky as a Jazz fan. Considering how many coaches moved this season im glad we landed Will!

  31. Jock Bone

    I told yall Denver is built different big man ball,attack the basket while jokic and Murray is on the floor.

    Awesome show….Will is awesome-i didnt know much bout him. Too bad he kinda coaches a rival-i am Nugs fan. But they obviously are like we were in maybe 2016ish. But he was unbelievable interview,& very revealing on the series. I didnt know he was an asst that long in SA-all that was fascinating as well. Put me in an even better mood-watching this after game 4.

    I cant believe we can clinch our 1st title at Ball on Monday…1 yr after the Avalanche won. This is my 1st season working at Ball…we had 18,000 + tonight for a WATCH ALONG…they were scalping tickets outside-im not making that up-lol. Cant even imagine how itll be in there for game 5-especially if we clinch it.
