Not In My House (A Basketball Podcast)
We have a strong love for basketball and the doors that it can open outside of the game itself. We love to give current and former players, coaches, artists, and historians their recognition and the platform they deserve to tell their story and teach our listeners about the game and applying lessons we learn from hoops to everyday life. We don't care for hot takes, we don't care for debates but we do care about giving back to the game and giving people the recognition they deserve for their hard work, dedication, their experiences and their knowledge to give our listeners and ourselves a better understanding of the game, the business, and life beyond hoops. We also like to have have fun! Any Questions? Suggestions? You can email us at Notinmyhousepodcast@gmail.com Much Love to you all! Twitter - @NOTINMYHOUSEpc Instagram- @not_in_my_house_podcast
Not In My House (A Basketball Podcast)
Todd Okeson: Former Nevada Wolf Pack Star, Pro & Assistant UVU Coach
This one is SWEET… like Sweet 16 sweet! We get to catch up with current Utah Valley assistant coach and former Nevada Wolf Pack guard Todd Okeson! We learn all about his experiences in hoops from player to coach and there are of course plenty of Nevada stories in this one!
Todd Okeson grew up in a small farm town in Kansas of about 300 people. The ball eventually bounced to Reno, Nevada where he was a fan-favorite for our Nevada Wolf Pack. Okeson was a key piece to that amazing 2004 Sweet 16 team that starred Kirk Snyder, Garry Hill-Thomas, Kevinn Pinkney, Nick Fazekas and Sean Paul just to name a few. That team meant so much to the city of Reno and they truly put Nevada basketball on the map. We get to hear all about the Sweet 16 run and other great stories about Coach Trent Johnson, Kirk Snyder, Ben Gordon, beating Kansas, Keith Langford, Tim Hardaway, The ABA, playing overseas, Mark Madsen, coaching, Utah Valley and MUCH more.
BIG Thanks to Coach Okeson for taking time out of his busy schedule to share his story with us. We had a lot of fun with this one and it was truly an honor to learn from one of our favorites to ever wear the silver and blue. Go support Utah Valley University this year. They got a pretty dang good assistant coach over there.
Thank you Coach Todd Okeson!
