Daly Dose YouTube 02-21-24 Our interview with former NBA player Dean Tolson

This week on the Daly Dose, we are joined by former NBA player Dean Tolson to discuss his incredible story!

Dean tells us about growing up in Kansas City, and what it was like to meet one of his sports heroes at a very young age.

He explains why he would end up signing with the University of Arkansas to play NCAA Basketball, and how he ended up setting records that still exist today, despite suffering from a serious physical setback!

He then describes what it was like to be drafted by both the NBA’s Seattle Supersonics and the NBA’s New York Nets!

He discusses his relationship with his Seattle coach Bill Russell, and some of the other locales where he would play pro basketball internationally.

Finally, Dean goes into how his mother convinced him to go back to the University of Arkansas, and the amazing impact that it had on his life! If you know a student or a student athlete that is struggling academically, be sure to check out Dean’s website to get some help that will last a lifetime!

Daly Dose 04-14-21 Our 2021 Daly Dose college basketball awards

This week on the Daly Dose, we wish a happy birthday to both Pete Rose and Greg Maddux, and don’t forget that tomorrow is Tax Day!

The Masters is back and we loved it, Bill Belichick is still doing things the “Patriot way”, Arizona finally fired Sean Miller for a very specific reason, and new ownership for the Minnesota Timberwolves could be bad news for Minnesota! Plus, the Denver Nuggets title aspirations took a crushing blow this week. 

Then, we hand out our 2021 Daly Dose College Basketball awards! We hand out season end awards to the Player of the Year, the Coach of the Year, and we look back at the best game of the 2021 NCAA Tournament! 

We also hand out the George Mason award, the Arizona award, the Mark Madsen award, the Anderson Hunt award, and the always popular Kardashian award!

Finally, the Final Four this season provided one of the best games in tournament history between Gonzaga and UCLA. However, we then saw the National Championship game turn out to be far less exciting. Today, our Daly Dose Top 5 counts down the Top 5 other times in NCAA Tournament history that the Final Four proved to be way more compelling than the actual championship game.
