Episode #1 - Eden Prairie boys basketball head coach Dave Flom

Our very first guest is Dave Flom, who is the head boys varsity
basketball coach at Eden Prairie High School here in Minnesota
which is one of the largest high schools in the state.  This
season coach Flom and his team were having a dream season. 
They had 4 senior starters on the team that eclipsed the 1,000
point mark in their careers and were sitting at an overall record
of 28-0, ranked #1 in class 4A, the largest class in MN and were
ranked #10 nationally by ESPN.  Their season ended abruptly
before they were able to play their section final matchup,
leaving them short of fulfilling the season long dream of winning
a state championship.  Like many basketball teams across the
country they didn’t get to finish their season but coach Flom
takes us through their season and how they handled the
disappointment at the end of the year.  Coach Flom was a
standout athlete at Cannon Falls high school, a small town in
southern MN, and went on to play college baseball and basketball
at Division 3 Gustavus.  It was on that path that he
discovered he wanted to pursue coaching.  Enjoy this
conversation with Eden Prairie boys head coach Dave Flom.
