Tyler and Smallz are joined by Zak Boisvert, an assistant basketball coach at Army. Zak has been a division 1 assistant since his early 20s and built the foundation of his career from being a manager at Fordham University. The guys talk about creating his shot through letter writing, conversations with Tom Crean and immersing himself with sportscode and film breakdown.
