"Micah":

Micah has a wealth of experience on the NCAA level as well as the NBA level with the Boston Celtics where he spent 6 years as an Assistant Coach to Brad Stevens. Prior to that Micah already served as an Assistant at Butler and Purdue before joining the Celtics in 2013. After his NBA stint, Micah decided to go back to Purdue as an Assistant once again before taking the Penn State Head Coaching job in 2021. In 2023, Micah joined he Fighting Irish and is currently going into his second season as their Head Coach!

Today, Micah and me kicked off the conversation talking about what it feels like to coach his son and how to maintain a healthy balance between the two roles. We went on to touch on the main differences between coaching NBA vs coaching NCAA players, differences in communication styles, lessons that he learned from being an Assistant Coach that he applies to his current Head Coaching job. We also talked about how he manages the load on his staff, what he expects from his Assistants and what he noticed in attention span of players over the span of his career.
