Visual Podcast: Should the NCAA Shut Down the Season?

Is it time to agree with Coach K? With multiple weekly postponements within the ACC alone, is it time for the NCAA to rethink the college basketball season?

Welcome to Season 4:Episode 1 of 'The Player And The Fan' featuring David Noel III and Quierra Luck.

They are excited to bring you an official podcast highlighting both, equally important, sporting elements, the player and the Fan. They will declare their viewpoints weekly, featuring various sporting topics and games around the ACC, specifically North Carolina. Welcome to the new season! David and Quierra are happy to welcome you back with more hot topics, debates, and of course, featuring special guests.

This year has been incredibly difficult for all of us. As we try and navigate our way through elections, racial injustice, and political division, the duo hopes to provide you with a short escape full of laughs, David's dramatic storytelling, and of course, analysis of the upcoming college basketball season.

New Year, New Us!!! New season alert!! As David and Quierra transition into a new year, the two also thought it was time to start a new season. Season three was exceptional and deserved to be capped off with the new year podcast as intentions were set for bigger and better in 2021. This podcast was created between two friends who enjoy nothing more than talking sports and providing fans the answers they need about the sport they love, and they couldn't have done it without you!

In the first episode of the new season, David breaks down North Carolina's win against Notre Dame; The Heels defeated the Fighting Irish, 66-65 with a 9 second shot by Leaky Black. David highlights the benefit of two post players and the noticeable selfishness on defense with freshman Kerwin Walton. Walton has made 10 threes in the previous four games. Though his defense IQ seems to be lacking, his ability to pull-up and shoot and create spacing below has helped. Spacing and team awareness has been a rising concern for the Heels, especially after the loss to N.C. State.

As you listen throughout the podcast, please join in the conversation of the rush for players to the NBA. Why do players rush for the league without growing through the necessary steps to achieve high maturity and basketball IQ?

Sit back, choose your side, and enjoy the dialogue! Make sure you let your voice be heard! Are you with The Player or The Fan?!
