With his basketball team playing well and on holiday break, Hood College men’s coach Chad Dickman is the guest this week on the Final Score podcast.
The Blazers are currently riding a five-game winning streak as they prepare to resume play Dec. 29. Coach Dickman chats with host Greg Swatek about why they are playing so well, how they are trying to stay sharp during the holiday break, his concerns about the current COVID-19 outbreak and his dynamic leading scorers, twin brothers Mason and Evan Wang.
Chad is the son of legendary Frederick County basketball coach Tom Dickman. How closely did Chad want to follow in his father’s footsteps? What was in like playing, working for and later succeeding him in his current job? How do their philosophies line up in terms of coaching the game? And, with all of the stylistic transitions over the years, does Tom Dickman hate the way basketball is played today?
