Kim Mulkey and coaches in my opinion should leverage their respective platforms to amplify mental health, anti-bullying, and all marginalized communities and people. Coaches have access to platforms many don't and can do so much more. Instead of wearing nice outfits and bling, howabout similar to how Lance Armstrong raised 100s of millions for cancer research and awareness via his LiveStrong brand, namely a $1 bracelet, wearing...

Join Hoot in the Sports Deli for today's incredible menu. Tops on the list is Mahmoud Abdul Rauf and the most recent news from Showtime as to why the Documentary STAND was pulled. Next up is my thoughts on Dan Lanning, Head Coach of the Oregon Ducks and why I think he missed a golden opportunity. Where is the support for Colin Kaepernick? All he wanted was to have a chance at an NFL practice squad and instead, he has to again s...

Deion and the black and brown community have had naysayers and gas lighters for years, decades and centuries. Not only is it monumentally more difficult for black and brown coaches to secure head coaching jobs in the NFL and at the collegiate level but they don't get as much of a chance once they are afforded an opportunity and they aren't recycled like white coaches. Deion deserves our support for so many reasons. He is st...

Mark Gottfried was one of the coaches that gave me a chance to work at UCLA's basketball camp when I was a first year coach. He was always there if I had a question even though he was coaching at the likes of UCLA, Alabama, and NC State. He never forgot the man that gave him his first big shot, Jim Harrick at UCLA and he has been paying it forward ever since with his assistants while mentoring them to be head coaches themselves...

Mahmoud Abdul Rauf was Colin before Colin, Kobe before Kobe and Steph Curry before Steph Curry. That's real. He was destined for the Hall-of-Fame until HBO and the NBA railroaded him and his career. And now Showtime is doing the same. They all owe him a public apology in my opinion as does the Big 3. Shout out to Craig Hodges, Bruce Maxwell, Colin Kaepernick and Mahmoud Abdul Rauf in particular for the STAND that they all took ...

Mahmoud Abdul Rauf played in the NBA in the 1990s. He was Steph before Steph, Kobe before Kobe and Colin before Colin. And what he's had to endure after getting white balled in the NBA, and most recently in the Big 3 and now with Showtime is a travesty of justice. HBO and the NBA and now Showtime owe him, Director Joslyn Rose Lyons a massive publicly apology and to put STAND back on at Showtime. Anything less is unacceptable. A...
