How fitting to have #23 as the guest for our 23rd episode for Season 3! Mizzou and Pauldingburg is going to love this one… Mr. Oldenburg himself! We got Rickey Paulding on the podcast today to share his hoops story with us. 

Rickey Paulding left his mark on Missouri after an outstanding college career. He went on to be drafted 54th overall by his hometown Detroit Pistons before going to play overseas, including an absolutely legendary career in Germany. He is incredibly beloved in Oldenburg where locals refer to the city name as “Pauldingburg” and you can find murals and portraits of him throughout. His number 23 hangs in Oldenburg having just recently retired after 15 amazing years there. Rickey shares some great stories about growing up in Detroit, the recruiting process, Mizzou, Coach Quin Snyder, Arthur Johnson, Dwayne Wade, Tony Allen, the Draft process, his wild experiences overseas, his love for Germany, and MUCH more!

This was an absolute honor to learn from one of Zach’s favorite college players of ALL TIME. There are so many great stories and tips shared in this episode and we are forever grateful for the experience. Rickey Paulding is hands down one of the most down to earth and fun guests that we have ever had. We now understand more than ever why he is so loved in Oldenburg and even has the city nicknamed after him! 

Thank you Rickey Paulding!

Coach Cornell Mann’s Story.
In this episode, you’ll hear from Cornell Mann. Coach Mann is currently an assistant coach for Cuonzo Martin at the University of Missouri. Coach Mann is entering year five with Coach Martin. “Corn” as the entire coaching community knows him has a wealth of experience: assistant coaching stops at Central Michigan, Western Michigan, Oakland, Dayton, and Iowa State. And Coach Mann is synonymous with helping the head coaches that he assists: WIN! In over seventeen years in the profession, Coach Mann has been to postseason play twelve times. Including ten times to the NCAA tournament. Coach Mann was recently selected to participate in the 2021 TopConnect Symposium. This future head coach is indeed focused on helping Coach Martin compete for an SEC title this season. However, what you learn is that Coach Corn's journey to the SEC is such an amazing journey. Two young youth coaches in the Detroit Metropolitan area, Tex and Dino, mentored a young Cornell Mann and his cousin, DJ Stephens, who is currently the Associate Head Coach for Tom Izzo at Michigan State. Tex and Dino mentored Corn and DJ and really introduced these two amazing men into the thought of one day being coaches. As a matter of fact, you will soon learn that Coach Corn knew by the 5th grade that he wanted to help people. The word “CARE” will resonate throughout the entire podcast. Coach Corn engages with the players that he coaches and shares some amazing experiences from his past. In addition, Coach Mann shares some amazing tips to young coaches: from recruiting and creating balance to teaching time management and being calm--this is a great 30-minute coaching course for young coaches. I know one thing, Tex and Dino helped mold an unbelievable man and leader. Coach Cornell Mann is simply about giving back. There are so many terrific things about this conversation and I am so thankful that Coach Mann shared his incredible coaching story!
