Coach Mike Peck on Rebuilding Link Hoops, Charlie Spoonhour Memories, & New Branson Gym

We are joined by the brand-new head coach of Link Academy, Mike Peck, who drops by fresh off the program's jaw-dropping week where five former players were selected in the NBA Draft. We get Coach Peck's hot takes on why modern prep athletes are constantly on the move, how he balances a national recruiting footprint with the modern impacts of NIL, and why he chose to sign a historic three-year contract to build a lasting legacy here. Plus, Ned Reynolds walks down memory lane with Coach Peck to share incredible stories of working under local hall-of-famer Charlie Spoonhour. We also get an exclusive preview of the brand-new third gym opening up on the Link Academy campus!
