In this episode, we visit with legendary Davidson coach Bob McKillop to trace a remarkable life in basketball—from his first shots on New York playgrounds to building one of the most consistent programs in college hoops.
Coach McKillop reflects on his formative years at Chaminade High School, the lessons learned through early struggles as a player and coach, and the winding path that took him from New York to North Carolina and back again before ultimately defining Davidson basketball.
He opens up about perseverance through losing seasons, the personal evolution that fueled 15 years of sustained success in the Southern Conference, and the keen eye that led him to recruit a lightly regarded guard named Steph Curry.
Now retired from the sidelines, McKillop offers perspective on leadership, growth, and what life looks like after the whistle—making this a thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation about the game, the grind, and the person behind the wins.
