We’ve made it to Episode 10! In this fireside, Jason Gandhi — the General Manager of men’s and women’s basketball at Delaware — shares his unique journey. From manager at Indiana to overseeing their NIL initiatives, and now holding the prestigious GM title at an emerging program. He emphasizes the importance of collaboration between coaching and management, the challenges of roster management, and the strategic approach needed for recruitment, especially within non-P4 budget constraints.
Our Takeaways:
- Collaboration between coaching staff and front offices (administration, management, etc.) is crucial for success.
