Welcome back to "The Notebook", where we take a look at a variety of topics within the game of basketball. In this edition, we break down the men's NCAA Final Four with a couple of predictions, we take a look at both the hot teams and the sinking ships in the NBA, some great quotes from some of the best coaches in the country and much more!

It is a great day to talk "March Madness" and how teams are working their way through the end of the season with three terrific coaches; Brandon Henderson of Riverside Prep (CA), Caleb Kluender of Columbus Lakeview (NE) and Steve Klein of Bellevue West (NE)! We discuss lessons learned from watching basketball all weekend, things learned from this past season, building a strong youth camp, getting your kids into the gym in the offseason and much more! Enjoy a really fun conversation!

THE story of the NCAA tournament so far has been the Nebraska Cornhuskers and their Cinderella season and run in Oklahoma City this past weekend. One of the great subplots of the Oklahoma run by the Huskers was the overwhelming fan support that followed Hoiberg's crew to OKC. Unless you were there, it's hard to describe what happened, but in this special narrative podcast, I'm going to try to tell you the story of what happened this weekend in OKC from the ground view. For our family, and more specifically, for our oldest, this was not a story of this weekend, but it was a story that was finally finished after seven long years . . .

Enjoy "Four Days in Oklahoma"

We're back with another episode from "The Mellow Mushroom" in downtown Lincoln to talk hoops! We've got Steve Self from South Sioux City (NE), T-Shaw from Sidney (NE) and Nate Wall from the suburbs of David City (NE) to chat about a variety of different topics!

It's the best weekend of the year for hoops heads, so let's not just break down one bracket, but both! I brought in Nate Wall and Jacob Brindle from "The Greatest Coaches" podcast and we coaxed Mr. Tony D. Vis out of retirement to do a one off with us to not only give you a national champion in the men's bracket, but also the women's bracket. 134 games x 4 predictors = 536 different predictions in 75 minutes . . . enjoy!

We had a great time at the Mellow Mushroom last week at the Nebraska girls state tournament with three terrific coaches; Elkhorn's Jen Wragge, Central Valley's Devon Beck and Norfolk Catholic's Tim Kassemeier! We discuss lessons learned from this season, what they're looking to learn about during the off-season, favorite shooting drills and a debate over a proposed rule change . . . enjoy!
