From the NBA to the Southland Sharks in New Zealand's National Basketball League. It's not a traditional coaching pathway, but it's the path new Sharks Head Coach Jonathan Yim has taken as he takes the reins of the southern club in 2025.
We chat about just how his appointment has come to pass, share some incredible stories from his years in the NBA and his plans to turn around the fortunes of the proud Sharks franchise after a couple of down seasons.
Before then the guys talk through the big local sports stories of the week and ask whether there is a sport that brings more international talent to the south than motorsport at Teretonga!
