Episode 423 — Tennessee’s Rick Barnes

Tennessee’s Rick Barnes wants to see more discipline, toughness, and consistency from the Volunteers after their first seven games. Why he believes their grueling non-conference schedule will benefit them at the end of the season. Getting back to full strength will be a key moving forward. Why coach is not big on complacency. Why you must get better and getting better. How much longer does he see himself coaching? Why he loves the fans in Tennessee. Could he see himself doing something other than coaching? And do they have enough to get back to the Final Four? Plus, parity reigns supreme. No dominant team has emerged and that makes for a fun season!
