Fired Coaches Podcast ๐Ÿ”ฅ
@firedcoachespodJun 4
4-21 to Division One: Building Resilience in Basketball Sort of a different episode. When I first started the podcast, every 7th episode was interviewing individuals who hadnโ€™t been fired. On this episode I sat down with Josh Washington (@performhoops) and @Coach_Ruffing. Back in 2010-11, I was in my 3rd year coaching college basketball and my first year back at my alma mater. That season was not pretty. We went 4-21. Josh was a senior on that team and Charles was a freshman. Fast forward to 2026 and both individuals are on Division I coaching staffs. Josh is at Jacksonville University as the men's basketball strength and conditioning coordinator. Charles is at Western Illinois University as an assistant menโ€™s basketball coach. Lot of nuggets in this episode. Josh was a previous FCP guest on episode #35.
