Little Rock's Team Presented by Staley Electric: Brian Burg

Описание: In this episode of the Little Rock's Team Podcast Patrick Newton is talking with Brian Burg, the very first assistant coach to join Chris Beard’s Little Rock staff.

After that season, Burg followed Beard to UNLV and ultimately Texas Tech, and is one of the current assistant coaches on Beard's staff at Ole Miss.

Burg is a Texas guy who was on the staffs at Middle Tennessee, Campbell, and North Carolina Central before coming to Little Rock. He was a key recruiter for some really important pieces on that Little Rock team – including Marcus Johnson and Jermaine Ruttley – which we talk about in this conversation.

We also talk about how he met Chris Beard as a camper, how Beard helped him break into coaching, his many coaching influences, and of course some of his favorite memories from that season.
