A3OOOThe Most Advanced Basketball Strategy By FarThis podcast has won me games. Enough said. You think you talk basketball strategy with your assistants? It’s nothing as deep as what you are about to hear.
-
estabanMSuper Thoughtful modern and practicalSmart well thought out and packed with great tips for basketball coaches. Modern methods that take into account todays youth and the challenges of connecting with them
-
sam_wattHard to listenHard to listen and boring
-
Dr. SmithensteinState of the artYou will like this pod if u hv a growth mindset and want to learn outcomes based coaching from great minds and coaches. If you’re a coach that knows it all and has all the answers, this pod isn’t for you.
-
hmmmm, okThanksI recently started listening to the podcasts and really enjoyed it. Thoughts were being provoked as I listened to Chris and the other coaches. I just signed up to his Basketball Immersion. I’ve started with the BDT and Im loving it! I hope the rest of the courses are just as impactful. Thanks Chris

-
Raezo61Chris’s podcastsCoach Oliver’s basketball podcasts are the best in the country. There is no question about that. I recommend them to any coach at any level. Coach Korner’s podcast was outstanding. “ Don’t make a goldfish climb a tree. Put it in the water where it can flourish.” I love it.
-
user999205Great resource/ other than commercialsLove it coach. Just because of the dumb gambling and man scape commercials I give 4 stars
-
coach chase111You learn so much so fastThere is such a variety of conversations on this podcast. Some of the best minds in sports having raw conversation and allowing your mind to be opened to many different things regarding hoops. Nothing better than listening to this podcast while driving. Made me a much better coach
-
CoachE323None BetterIf you love the game of basketball, this is the place for you. Chris Oliver has done a tremendous job in growing the greatest game ever made.
-

Picc5CannonBest in the GameBy far the best basketball coaching podcast. It more than satisfying to any basketball junkie that needs a fix.
-
Strike3lookingBest podcast aroundThis is a great podcast if you’ve coached forever or are a first time coach. I’ve really enjoyed the way it’s made me think about the way I do things in my own program. Keep it up!
-
DadLifeStrength.comBest Podcast For B-Ball Coaches!More than any other b-ball podcast (or any other free content) Coach Oliver’s podcast speeds up my learning curve and helps guide my quest in building the best basketball experience for my players.
-
Principal and Coach ZavadaShould be mandatory professional development for all basketball coachesCoach Oliver and his guests are so insightful and nuanced in their perspectives, I feel like I’m getting a PhD in hoops and education every time I listen. It is the first podcast I listen to if it is a new one in the feed.
-
Devon LequilBest podcast out thereInsight into different systems, styles , and methods every episode. I take away at least one thing every listen.
-
Coach_ChanceBest Resource for CoachesThe knowledge I learn from this podcast puts me in a position to be a better coach every week. Interesting guests from varied backgrounds, technical and tactical discussions (no fluff) and thoughtful questions from the host. I look forward to Wednesdays because that’s when this drops!
-
KSG44Best hoops podcast, period!If you want to learn more about the game of basketball, especially as a coach, there is no better podcast. Period. If you're a coach and not listening to this podcast you are doing your players a disservice. As soon as each episode comes out, I'm listening. Great stuff by Chris!
-
Brendan GillThe best hoops podcastChris has created the best hoops podcast. Excellent guests,informative and packed with ideas for coaches. It's really helpful and interesting
-
BobGraysonYaAmazingly dense information for coaches of all levels. Each podcast is packed with insights on strategy, technique and tactics from highly successful coaches from around the world. Coach Oliver is an accomplished coach and an inquisitive interviewer who brings great perspective and insight on the game in every episode.
-
Beginner SalesHelpful for all!Chris and his guests go in depth and there is content for every type of basketball coach out there! Useful and practical information in each episode.

Levi PainterCan’t Wait For Next SeasonI came across this podcast and was hooked immediately! Great host who is willing to share his knowledge of the game! I’ve picked up so many useful tips and ideas that I can’t wait to implement next season. Definitely would recommend this podcast!
-
yesktateDefinitely worth a listen!I followed someone on twitter randomly & it landed me on this podcast. I listened to episode 40 & 42 of the podcast & now I’m hooked. Great content from many different coaches & how they see the game.
-
NBA_PghMust Listen for CoachesPodcast makes a Coach think about all different aspects of a program. Always something good to take away.
-
Mrrrrrrr. DamonNumber 1 podcastSolid content. By far the best pod on learning and teaching the game I love..
-
GriffDAWGnyllADelivers Every TimeI've been listening to The Basketball Podcast for a short period of time (maybe 20 episodes, in total) and I am now thoroughly convinced in this product. The content is SOLID and relevant. There are times that the "Office Hours" don't have the greatest sound quality; but it is ALWAYS good enough and the content makes up for less than excellent sound quality. Please keep this podcast going. I can't wait to be a member and take full advantage of Chris and his guest's wisdom in the game of basketball.
-
ElevatedBasketballMust Listen for Coaches of any levelFollowed Coach Oliver for years, podcast put me over the top to join BBallImmerson - Coach Coale episode is solid gold
-
Coach sully DPSMakes me think every timeI am not a BB IMM member, but I should be. EVERY one of these podcasts (and most of Coach Oliver’s content) makes me think about the way I do things. I loved the one with Nate Oats and then the one with Steve Donahue. But, I think this one with Coach Novak is the best. Keep it up! I may have to join!
-
LukeWidgNeed a notepad for this podcastCoach Oliver does an excellent job covering all the areas a coach needs to excel at in order to be successful. No detail is left unturned as the listener gains perspective on the game at a global scale. If you enjoy the tactical side of the sport, grab a notepad and get ready to learn from some of the best in the game.
-
coachgwilson1Awesome informationCoach Oliver’s podcast has the most practical basketball information I’ve heard. In every podcast he ask great questions to the guests that leads to a tremendous amount of helpful information for coaches who are listening.
-
Boom melon!! 98By coaches for coachesI like several podcasts. I love this podcast! As a volunteer coach, I can find all sorts of online training, videos, etc. to purchase. This podcast is the best free resource for basketball coaches. Coach Oliver gets his guests to give us the how & why they do what they do.
-
Jeff HardisonNot another like it!I’m preparing to be a coach, Chris’ podcast has been the only one I can connect with. I love the detail to it, because I’m trying to also now look through the lens of coach instead of just player like I used to. By the way, your guests change the game!🤙🏼
-
cougscoachThe Basketball Podcast with Chris OliverAwesome stuff in each podcast. Keep sharing the game.
-
Coach RellerCoachAn excellent resource for any baketball coach to help them self-reflect on their current philosophy and the way they coach the game.
-
Philly_22Game ChangerLove the discussion and variety of topics. Great to get the wheels turning in the off-season around specific basketball topics. As a HS coach, I love how they relate the college and pro game back to a HS level of understanding. Keep the podcasts coming!
-
Slim_Chiefn00Question.What about Non Responsive teams? How do you go about changing culture or changing bad tendencies without over coaching or causing frustration?
-
Coach Floyd 1417Great for basketball coaches of all levelsCoach Oliver does a great job of articulating all aspects of coaching basketball. The listener can gain great insight from experienced coaches and apply that knowledge to their own coaching.
-
