Samford Head Coach: Bucky McMillan

In this episode I got to interview head coach Bucky McMillan for a 2nd time. He's led the Bulldogs to 3 straight 21 plus win seasons, including a 23-4 start this year. He took over a program that was 75-141 (34.7%) in their time in the SOCON, and in 2 years turned them into a SOCON contender. They play one of the fastest tempos in the country and apply an unselfishness to their game that makes them a joy to watch. Coach McMillan is without a doubt one of the brightest young stars coaching in all of college basketball.
