Coach C. Collins is ready to talk more AAU basketball, life and everything in between. In this episode, Coach Collins got to sit down with an old high school buddy Nick Lozito. Nick is a sports editor for the San Francisco chronicle news paper and is a Oakland native born and raised. Coach Collins and Nick go way back and in the show you can hear from someone who has worked in the sports game for a long time. Nick has a passion for sports that began in High School as he was there to see the rise of Oakland Tech as a basketball power house during the Leon Powe & Demarshae Johnson era(199-2003). Nick also worked at the Oakland Tribune in the same field and he has done several pieces on the sports world that give him great insight to the professional experience.

Some topics of interest in this episode were the assessments of how the era of basketball has changed also Nick reached out to Coach Collins for insight about how AAU basketball works and the pros and cons. Nick also discusses a recent article he had done on the decline of black participation in baseball and the reasons why. Often through out the show the comparison of aau programs in traditionally white sports as opposed to aau basketball, which is predominately black, is brought up as well. Of course we talk NBA news and the way covid-19 has affected the layout of the NBA season. With everything being uncertain it seems athletes and organizations either adapt or fail.
