Mr. Wells returns to co-host as we interview Coach David Weller from the Herkimer OGs basketball team of the ABA.
Coach Weller took over an 0-5 team and immediately turned things around. He allowed players equal time to perform until he found his best starting 5 and would go 8 deep overall. The OG's had an amazing turn around, winning 4 games in a row under the guidance of Coach Weller. Ultimately, they finished 8-3 in games he coached, also winning a play in game to go to the play-offs in Binghamton.
Coach Weller installed a press zone which trapped offenses and was very effective when used. The team put an Empasis on defense and was not going to allow high scoring matchups. Coach Weller admitted he was not going to teach any of his players techniques they didn't already know, but he put them in the best position to succeed and that us why the season turned around.
David credits his ownership group and several people who had an impact on his life with helping to make a decision to take the job coaching the OG's. He is here to stay and already recruiting some new talent. A good coach who has an outstanding attitude and wants to build something special with the Herkimer OG's.
After talking OG basketball, Mr. Wells, Coach Weller and I make our picks out of the sweet 16. We will see who makes the Final 4. Anyone who mentions this podcast will receive a free meal and drink at Frank Cristiano's new bar, Smoking Guns Saloon. A fantastic show and we definitely missed Mr. Wells!
