Episode 961: Appalachian State head coach Dustin Kerns

Coach Dustin Kerns looks forward to another season of Mountaineers basketball as he led ASU to its most wins in a season at 27 and the 16-2 record to win the Sun Belt regular season was Appalchian's best league record in school history. Coach Kerns had eight losses in the transfer portal, but he has a recruiting class of strong players who can make the transition into the new season and the upper echelon of Sun Belt Conference play. Coach and I discuss his ideas and philosophies on several college basketball/sports topics. Topics of Discussion Include: The transition involved with losing eight but bringing in six players Leadership in the return of CJ Huntley and Miles Tate Physical and emotional energy among players Allowing players to break slumps and bring positivety back into their games
