X's and Joe's, part of the Back Home Network, is a podcast that lets you eavesdrop on an ongoing, 25-year conversation between two friends and Indiana University grads who have an unusual passion for exploring the formula for winning in today’s modern college basketball.
Hosted by Bob Moats (cbobmoats) and Mike Wiemuth (iu-in-philly), this show examines trends in recruiting, metrics, strategy, and coaching -- with an emphasis on debunking myths and challenging popular assumptions.
And while Bob and Mike's rooting interests may lie with the Hoosiers, this show takes an expansive view of the college basketball landscape beyond just Bloomington.
In other words, it's a show for ALL serious college hoops fans who truly appreciate the nuances of the sport.
On this special edition of Xs and Joes, Bob and Mike welcome longtime Indiana fan, coach, referee, and all-around good dude Sam Story (CoachSS) to the show.
The three longtime friends and college hoops fans engage in a deep dive on how winning college basketball programs evaluate, determine, and land the players and coaches who are best for them.
In this episode …
- Segment 1: What traits are college coaches and recruiting evaluators looking at with prospective players? What information should fans look at as legitimate versus noise?
- Segment 2: What are the stages and levels of recruiting? How does it translate to other positions like coaching and program/department administration?
- Segment 3: How does a program’s overall performance, resources, image and style impact who and how they recruit? (We might just talk about IU here)
- Wrap Up: The confluence of Quantity Theory of Money and the free movement of human assets in an unregulated marketplace: What the world looks like with the transfer portal, NIL and the retrenchment of the NCAA.
