We hear and learn about Coach Suhr’s original career aspirations,
how and why those changed. He discusses how he shaped himself to
where he is today. We get his perspective on why the game of
basketball is so loved and revered and how he knew he was making
an impact not on the game but on the lives of those he
touched. 


Get an inside scoop on being an assistant coach for Dick Vitale
at U of Detroit Mercy (yes, that Dickie V!) Then Coach tells what
it was like to coach Dominque Wilkins when he was with the
Atlanta Hawks and then we learn how he got connected with Chuck
Daly and ended up with the Detroit Pistons. Coach goes into depth
about their relationship and why he decided to write the book
–“Chuck Daly Coaching U”. 


He tells us about the inter squad scrimmage game with The Dream
Team at the Olympics and what team he feels was a better team
then this Gold medal team. Great stuff here! He was involved with
the Grand Rapids CBA team, the reason he went there, the greatest
deal he ever made, and why he left. 


Brendan talks about what is the harder to develop skill set or
knowledge of the game? How Coaching U came about and hosting the
Coaching U Podcast (See Links). He is the only professional coach
to be certified as a Master Strengths Coach by the Gallup
Organization and what this means to him.
