Episode 043 - Bart Lundy (Queens Basketball) Oct 25, 2016

Show notes

On this week’s Charlotte Podcast we hosted Bart Lundy, Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Queens University of Charlotte. We discussed both of Bart’s stints in Charlotte on his path to becoming the all time coaching wins leader for Queens basketball. We went deep on some basketball and organizational philosophy, then got as shallow as possible talking about Charlotte Beer, shoes, and Peaky Blinders. We also dove deep into the history of Queens, and Bart said he’d let his team play it out up 3 with 6 seconds left in the double bonus rather than fouling, which John found surprising! Bart also threw out an offer of a free family pass to any home game this season to the first 25 of our listeners who sign up. Shoot us an email at thecharlottepodcast@gmail.com to claim one! Check out the Queens basketball team in their upcoming home games on Friday, Nov 11 at 8:00 PM vs Armstrong State University and Saturday, Nov 12 at 4:00PM vs Clayton State University.
