The Sports Deli Featuring Former Cal Men's Basketball Coach Ben Braun

Join Dr. J. and Hootie Hoot in The Sports Deli (Podcast) as we speak with Ben Braun, former Head Men's Basketball Coach at Eastern Michigan where he helped his teams earn 3 trips to the NCAA Tournament including a first-round upset of Coach K. and Duke in 1995-96 (yes, Eastern Michigan you read that correctly) and helped Cal earn 8 trips to the post season including an NIT Title in 1999 and a Sweet 16 appearance in 1997. This transparent discussion includes his first-hand experience with two African-American teammates with racial profiling while in college, his experiences in recruiting in inner-city Detroit, why he thinks the 17th Title by the Lakers and LeBron James this year in the bubble is more impressive than any of the others, and what he looks for on a deli menu besides pickles.
