Episode description

This week, Marques and Kris are thrilled to host Milwaukee Bucks assistant coach, and the team's coach for this year's NBA Summer League, Pete Dominguez. Dominguez explains why his lack of basketball success on the court paved the way for his passion for coaching. Then, he speaks about how he first got into the coaching profession and how he was in the right place at the right time to begin his career on Coach Doc Rivers' Clippers staff. There he became part of a long lineage of great coaches who started out in the video room. Dominguez also details his experience being the head coach for a professional club in Argentina and how it helped him grow his understanding and vision for the game. Kris shares a story about dropping 40 points on Randy Moss as a Summer League player, and Pete reveals what characteristics teams are looking for from prospects that can translate well to the team roster. They also break down what the Bucks are expecting from the team's new draft picks, and recent Hear District guests, AJ Johnson and Tyler Smith. Marques and Kris wrap the show with their thoughts on the WNBA's heated Rookie of the Year race, and why both frontrunners Caitlin Clarke and Angel Reese are deserving of the honor.
