Origins of Speed The Coach Who Invented the modern NBA 🏀19 Dec 202500:17:14

Send us Fan Mail

The NBA is faster than ever. Data shows players are running further and faster than at any point in history. But where did this obsession with speed come from?

It started with a "jailbreak." In an era of peach baskets and standing still, Coach John B. McLendon introduced a radical system: press, run, and shoot in under 8 seconds.

In this Episode 

  • How the 1944 "Secret Game" (88-44 score) foreshadowed the high-scoring blowouts of the modern NBA.
  • Why McLendon's "full court pressure" philosophy is the ancestor of today's defensive schemes.
  • The direct link between a 1940s "lab" in Durham and the fast-paced highlights you watch on your phone today.

Speed isn't new. It was just waiting for the world to catch up.

76ers Fandom, NBA Chaos & Creative Culture w/ Dave Hartley07 Dec 202500:26:31

Send us Fan Mail

What happens when you mix Philly basketball angst, touring-musician coffee rituals, and the creative spirit of The War on Drugs?
In this episode, bassist Dave Hartley dives into all of it — from Joel Embiid’s emotional truth to the cultural roots of Drugcember to Remember, to how he balances his band life with his solo project, Nightlands.

We kick things off with coffee talk — pour-overs, strange co-ferment experiments, and why musicians obsess over brewing rituals while touring the world. 

And of course… we go deep on the Sixers, the emotional rollercoaster of Philly fandom, the youth movement, Embiid’s complicated greatness, OKC’s rise, the Eastern Conference chaos, and what it means to root for a team that is equal parts hope and heartbreak.

If you love basketball, music culture, Philly stories, and the creative heartbeat behind The War on Drugs, this conversation is for you.



🔥 Topics Covered
 • Dave’s coffee routine on and off tour
 • Co-ferment coffee experiments & flavor debates
 • The origin and purpose of Drugcember to Remember
 • The War on Drugs’ deep ties to Philadelphia
 • How Dave balances band life with Nightlands
 • Philly fandom: hope, humor, and heartbreak
 • The Sixers’ young core vs. their aging stars
 • OKC’s rise and how it changes the NBA landscape
 • Music recommendations for winter
 • Holiday traditions, gratitude, and creative renewal

When Transferring Meant Sacrifice | Iconic College Basketball Transfers That Changed the Game02 Jul 202500:15:48

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode of Iconic Seasons, host Aaron Meyer takes you back to an era when transferring in college basketball wasn’t easy — it was a sacrifice. Before the transfer portal and NIL deals, switching schools meant sitting out an entire year, risking momentum, and betting on yourself.


Aaron shares personal reflections — including a surprising moment when he couldn’t recognize a single IU player at a Chipotle in Bloomington — and dives deep into the unforgettable transfer stories of Jason Williams, Ed O’Bannon, Hank Gathers, Felipe López, and Marcus Fizer.


You’ll hear about:

🏀 Jason Williams giving up a season to follow Billy Donovan to Florida.

🏀 Ed O’Bannon leaving UNLV’s wreckage to become a UCLA champion — and later, an NCAA reformer.

🏀 Hank Gathers’ heartbreaking, inspirational run at Loyola Marymount.

🏀 The weight Felipe López carried for New York City hoops.

🏀 Marcus Fizer’s rise from uncertainty to Big 12 dominance.


👂 What do you think? Is today’s transfer era bad… or just different? Share your thoughts in the comments!

  • The 2022 Big Ten Men’s Basketball Tournament is upon us, as is the launch of 19nine’s Big Ten Tournament Collection.
  • So, it’s a perfect time to connect with journalist and author Ed Sherman, who authors penned the authoritative history on the conference titled, This is Big: How the Big Ten Set the Standard in College Sports.
  • The 5-pound book shares stories of the Big Ten dating back to the league’s founding in the late final years of the 19th century and chronicles its rise into perhaps the most influential conference in college sports.
  • Ed, of course, has long maintained a close eye on the Big Ten. Over a 27-year career with the Chicago Tribune, he served as the newspaper’s national college sports and Big Ten reporter, covering its universities as well as the league’s evolution.
  • We’re going to dig into the conference’s hoops history with Ed, discussing some of its principal figures and notable moments.

Send us Fan Mail

Think you know your IU History Check it here - Focusing on key moments, players, and traditions of Indiana basketball:https://claude.site/artifacts/ada98404-237a-4392-a2ee-9140968532c1  

Tracing the evolution of Indiana University basketball from the 1980s to the early 2000s, this narrative explores how the program maintained its core identity through significant transitions. From iconic moments like Keith Smart's championship-winning shot in 1987 to memorable tournament runs in the 1990s and early 2000s, the Hoosiers consistently embodied values of teamwork, discipline, and resilience. The program weathered coaching changes, celebrated talented players like Steve Alford, Calbert Cheney, and Damon Bailey, and achieved remarkable victories, including an unforgettable upset against Duke in 2002. Beyond wins and losses, being a Hoosier represents a deeper commitment to tradition, community, and excellence—a spirit that transcends individual eras and continues to inspire fans and players alike. The story emphasizes adaptability and the importance of preserving the program's rich heritage while embracing new challenges in college basketball.

Send us Fan Mail

The 1980-1981 Indiana Hoosiers basketball team embodied the ultimate underdog story, overcoming significant challenges to claim the NCAA National Championship. Facing early-season injuries to key players like Randy Whitman and Mike Woodson, the team battled through a nine-loss season with remarkable resilience. Led by sophomore sensation Isaiah Thomas, who was named Final Four Most Outstanding Player, and supported by exceptional talents like Ted Kitchell, the Hoosiers peaked at the right moment. Under Bobby Knight's legendary coaching, they secured their second national title in dramatic fashion, defeating North Carolina in a memorable championship game. This victory occurred against the backdrop of President Reagan's assassination attempt, adding historical significance to their triumph. The team's journey symbolized perseverance, individual brilliance, and collective teamwork, cementing Indiana University's status as a basketball powerhouse and adding another legendary chapter to the program's rich history.

In celebration of 19nine’s launch of University of Kentucky product, we’re going to talk UK hoops with author Doug Brunk.

Doug is the author of two books on Kentucky basketball. The first, Wildcat Memories: Inside Stories from Kentucky Basketball Greats, dropped in 2014 and was followed up four years later by Forty Minutes to Glory: Inside the Kentucky Wildcats' 1978 Championship Season.

Few know the ins and outs of Big Blue Nation quite like Doug and he’ll take us deep into this world. We’ll hit on the culture surrounding UK basketball, highlights of his overarching look at Kentucky hoops history, and take a special look at the Wildcats’ 1978 national championship team that flies under the radar as one of college basketball’s most dominating squads.

Fred Hunter,  spins a basketball tale unlike any other. In a matter of three years, Hunter went from playing intramural hoops at Michigan to earning a walk-on spot with the Wolverines to grabbing a starting slot to then captaining the 1991 Michigan squad that made its memorable run to the national title game against Duke. Oh, and he did it all while battling spina bifida, a condition that stirred persistent back issues.

There are so many avenues to being involved in the basketball universe. I was doing research for an interview and overheard Dennis Page talking about an Instagram account that was documenting the entire history of SLAM Magazine. I loved this idea and reached out. In doing so I found out that Sammy had become the official archivist for SLAM. I love someone turning a passion project into a contribution to the community. His knowledge of SLAM and the story of how he turned an Instagram account into a job is a story you'll enjoy.

Ian Stonebrook and Nick DePaula

Welcome to the 19Nine Podcast. I am Aaron Meyer my co-host today is Josh Barnett one of the Owners of 19Nine. Our guests today are here helping us dive into the basketball apparel culture. 

Nick Depaula former Editor-In-Chief and Creative Director at Sole Collector Magazine and now at ESPN as a NBA feature writer.

And Ian Stonebrook is a writer from Okemos, MI based in Austin, TX. After starting his journalism career with Nice Kicks he's gone on to write for the likes of Jordan Brand, Complex, GOAT, SoleSavy, Cali BBQ, ASICS and more.

Let’s go to Josh to start things off.  

College Basketball Fashion:

+First REAL pair of basketball kicks you remember getting as a kid?

-Why does that pair stand out?

-Growing up, what pair got away that you still think about?

-Has the industry boomed because of just that?  We all grew up, started making our own money and wanted to get the pairs we didn’t have?  

-Is there a next generation for that or will the shoe bubble burst?  Will collabs take the place of retros or have they already?  

-What’s the future of the sneaker industry look like to you?

Turning a Hobby/Passion into a Job

-Did you ever think you would be covering shoes/sports fashion as a job?

-Favorite moments.

-Advice to anyone out there that wants to get into this as a job.

Greatest Sneakers of College Basketball Past

-What’s the first pair of shoes that come to mind when we talk college basketball?

-Is there a shoe that you think is very underrated as an all time college basketball or just basketball sneaker?

- Was there ever a watershed moment for sneakers in the college game?  Where the sneakers shined as much as the team wearing them?

- Who are some of the most influential teams when it comes to a history of wearing great shoes?

- Has college basketball ever had a PJ Tucker that people tuned into games just to see what they were wearing that night? 

- In your opinion will we ever have another Arizona ‘97 shoe moment in college basketball?

Your Basketball Utopia

-In your personal Hardwood Heaven what shoe has to be worn in there?  The gates open, Dr Naismith greets you as you enter, you immediately look down to see what he is wearing and it’s (fill in the blank with the shoes of your choice)

Joe Hillman | Indiana Hoosiers | 1987 National Championship | The Big Trip05 Apr 202101:08:41

Send us Fan Mail


Hardwood Heaven

Our guest today, Joe Hillman, was Robert Montgomery Knight’s first recruit west of the Mississippi, Co-Founder of TrustWealth Strategies. Member of Indiana's last Championship team in 1987 and Endorsed by Coach Knight in his Senior Day Speech as the most valuable player in the Big Ten. I am going to throw it to Josh to kick things off with Joe. 

+Tell us your basketball origin story.  

-How did you fall in love with the game?

-Any Playground Basketball Stories

-What’s it like being recruited by Bob Knight?

-Why did you end up choosing Indiana and was there anywhere else that you really considered going?

+Indiana 1987

-His recollections of being on the floor for Keith Smart’s shot.

-What people also get wrong about what it was like to be coached by Bob Knight.

-What Joe overheard Bob Knight say after the game that will stick with him forever.

-Why the genius of Bob Knight’s strategy to beat UNLV in the 1987 Final Four actually started five days before the game.

-What Joe overheard Bob Knight say after the game that will stick with him forever.

-In 1987 when Indiana was making their National championship tournament run, a radio station in Evansville Indiana (96 STO) played a song originally written by The Box Tops called “The Letter”. A group from southern Indiana called Furry Head and the Favorites re-wrote the song and titled it “Stevie Shoot a 3-Pointer”. Were you guys aware of the song? And have you heard it? (Cassie’s Question)

+Indiana Career

-The Big Trip were you on that China trip and what was it like? What did you think of the documentary?

- It is halftime of a Big Ten game against Minnesota last month and Indiana is trailing by six.

Coach Bob Knight, not a happy Hoosier, locks his team out of the locker room. It is up to Hillman, a senior with five years’ experience of dealing with such predicaments, to keep the situation under control. Indeed, the eyes of a dozen teammates show that they are counting on him to do so.

-With Mugsy Bogues the Author of Dunbar Boys said he was able to dominate a game with his leadership. Do you feel you had the ability to take over the game with leadership. 

-Who was the toughest person to guard during your time in the Big Ten there were some tough dudes at your position. Nick Anderson, Glen Rice, etc

In this wide-ranging interview alongside The Chucker, 19nine’s resident historian, Ford discusses the coaching genius of Rick Pitino, a young grad assistant named Jeff Van Gundy, Big East basketball in the 1980s, Providence’s ahead-of-its-time brand of basketball, and more. 

The rundown…

  • Ford’s journey to becoming a walk-on at Providence, including the counsel of future Boston College and Ohio State coach Jim O’Brien, and remembering Pitino from the famed Five Star Basketball Camp (6:00)
  • Why Ford describes Pitino as “magnetizing” (10:00)
  • Billy Donovan’s transformation from averaging 3 points per game as a sophomore to becoming a first-team All-Big East performer as a senior (13:00)

  • Expectations for the 1986-87 season and how the debut of the 3-point shot changed everything for the Friars (17:00)
  • Why teammate Dave Kipfer started a fight against Tulsa (25:00)
  • Providence’s star-studded coaching staff, including the future NBA coach Pitino plucked from the high school ranks to be a graduate assistant – hint: it’s Jeff Van Gundy and Ford has thoughts (26:00)
  • A day in the life of the Providence basketball program (30:00)
  • Providence’s hot start to the 1986-87 season and capturing the nation’s attention with its “futuristic” playing style (34:00)
  • Tragedy strikes the Pitino family following the Big East Tournament (38:00)
  • Friar Fever nearly ends against Austin Peay – and why it didn’t (46:00)
  • “We’re doing what?” Pitino’s unorthodox game plan against Georgetown in the Elite Eight (50:00)
  • Why Syracuse was a horrible Final Four matchup for Providence (56:00)
  • The emotions of losing to Syracuse and what Ford took away from that magical season (60:00)
  • Closing out the show with Ford’s thoughts on awesome arenas, opponents on the court and in the stands, why “relentless” is the best word to describe Big East basketball in the 1980s, and, speaking of relentless, watching Billy Donovan prepare for the NBA Draft (65:00)
