Ballinesian | Ep 199 - Is Coaching worth it?, March Madness, Roman Siulepa forges Islander NIL path

BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORKWelcome to the Ballinesian Podcast! We are Samoans talking about Sports. Today we're speaking with Coach Forest on how coaching works at different levels, what it was like coaching in American Samoa and winning high school championships, and the historic coaches that stand out when thinking about March Madness and the NCAA Basketball Tournament (John Wooden, Coach K, Roy Williams, etc.). Single-elimination tournaments always make for wildly entertaining matchups and finishes and the NCAA Tournament is cemented as one of the biggest and most memorable stages in all of sports. We'll also discuss Pitt F Roman Siulepa's move from Australia national team and NBL to pursuing an NIL contract in US College Basketball, and how that might open the door to other international athlete's joining US collegiate sports because of the money they could be paid.Thanks for tapping in, and make sure to leave a comment for your hot takes, questions or any shout outs you want to make on the show.
