Mike Murphy and Scott Hudson opened Saturday's Sportsvoice with a discussion about the firing of Mike Shildt:
Matt Varney speaks with John A. Logan College Basketball coach Kyle Smithpeters ahead of the NJCAA Tournament about their potential opponents, having to wait over a week until playing again, Jay Scrubb, and how COVID-19 is affecting the NJCAA Tournament.
"Everything is, obviously, still on and a-go," says Smithpeters. "They're gonna limit contact amongst the teams and the players from the standpoints of post-game interviews, pregame banquets, things like that."
Thursday, John A. Logan men's basketball coach Kyle Smithpeters was announced as an assistant coach to new Missouri coach Dennis Gates. As he prepares to depart for Columbia, Smithpeters gave a parting statement that you can listen to below.
Smithpeters went 241-73 over 10 seasons as the head coach of the Vols and coached a pair of NJCAA Player of the Year in Sean East, who is also headed to Mizzou, and Jay Scrubb who went directly to the NBA after his time at John A. Logan College.
Smithpeters plans to join Sportsvoice on Saturday morning.
