Win The Season Sponsored by Fastbreak Playbook-Episode #47 Parental Involvement

Author: Martin Plum August 30, 2026 Duration: 27:35

It's hard to run a program without parental involvement, but it is also a slippery slope; you need the help, but you don't want too much help from the wrong people. In today's podcast, we discuss strategies to help you with parental involvement, how to make it positive for both your program and the parents, and ways that you can involve peope without involving them. In addition, we've found a way to mix Marlon Wayans with basketball, and we discuss legendary Georgia women's basketball coach Andy Landers!


Imagine a whiteboard session after a big game, the kind where strategy gets scribbled on whatever's handy. That's the spirit of A Pen And A Napkin. This weekly conversation lives at the crossroads of sport and creative thinking, diving deep into the art of coaching basketball. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair in a gym office, listening to the nuanced discussions about player development, offensive sets, defensive adjustments, and the philosophy behind building a team. It’s less about Xs and Os in a vacuum and more about the why-the human elements and the creative problem-solving that define the craft. You’ll hear authentic breakdowns of game situations, reflections on leadership, and practical ideas that often start with a simple sketch. Think of it as a portable mentors’ roundtable, a clinic distilled into conversation, offering perspectives that resonate whether you’re on the sidelines or just appreciate the deeper layers of the game. Tune in for a podcast that captures the ongoing, ever-evolving dialogue at the heart of coaching.
