With his team playing well as it heads into an important stretch of games, Tuscarora boys basketball coach Lasan Scott is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast.

Scott chats with host Greg Swatek about his first season as the head coach of the Titans and why they are playing so well at 8-2 overall. He talks about playing basketball on the New York City playgrounds growing up, his love of the Knicks, managing his time with a large family and how he sort of fell into coaching basketball.

He shares why he wasn't ready for the first job he interviewed for, how the opportunity at Tuscarora came about and why he generally doesn't give referees a hard time during games.

Prior to that, FNP sports writer John Cannon drops by for his weekly chat about the Frederick County sports scene with Greg. The two discuss, among other things, last weekend's county indoor track and field championships and why the Urbana girls and Oakdale boys have been so dominant in recent years. They also talk about some of the high school basketball teams that are playing well, including the Middletown girls and the Maryland School for the Deaf boys.
