Sports Rush with Brett Rump 1380 The Fan / Podcasts By Federated Media

Happy Friday! In today's Friday edition of The Sports Rush, both Brett and Adam have something to celebrate, as the Indiana Pacers eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 6 last night of their first-round series. And Adam saw his New York Knicks defeat the Philadelphia 76ers on the road in Philly to win their series. The two teams will be facing each other in the next round, and Brett and Adam debate what they should wager with each other over the series. Also in the first hour, the Purdue Men's Basketball Team has one too many rostered players, and the solutions to solve the problem are interesting to say the least.

In this mid-week edition of The Sports Rush, Brett is joined on the show over the phone by the newest head coach of the Bishop Luers Girl's Basketball Team, Mary Hathaway! Coach Hathaway has been an assistant coach under former Head Coach Mark Pixley for a long time, and it was announced yesterday that Coach Pixley would be stepping down and that Coach Hathaway would be taking over the program. Brett hears from her about what the process for becoming head coach was like, what type of team and style of play she'd like to have, and if there's any pressure taking over for a coach who just won a State Championship! Also in the first hour, Brett talks about two very different but both very sad losses in the NBA for the Pacers and Adam's Knicks.

We hear from Scott about the play on the court, the readiness of the young team, and the coaching choices of Rick Carlisle. Also in the second hour, Brett shares with listeners which of the Colts 2024 Draft Picks will start this season for the team, which will make the roster, and which will be cut!
