Preston Spradlin - Morehead State University Head Men's Basketball Coach - Episode 2

Preston Spradlin is in his second season as full-time head coach after spending the majority of the 2016-17 season as interim head coach. He is in his fifth season overall with the Morehead State men's basketball program and his 10th year working with a Division I program.

On March 16, 2017, he was named the 14th men's basketball head coach in program history.

Spradlin officially took on the interim head coaching position on Dec. 15, 2016, nine games into the 2016-17 season after the Eagles opened with a 2-7 record. He then guided Morehead State to a 12-9 record the rest of the way and a 10-6 mark in OVC play, which ranked second in the league.

Following the 2015-16 season, Spradlin was named to the National Basketball Coaches Association (NABC) 2016 Under Armour 30-Under-30-Team, which recognizes 30 men's basketball coaches across the country that are under the age of 30.

Spradlin came to Morehead State after five seasons with national power Kentucky. He spent two campaigns (2009-11) as a graduate assistant with the Wildcats before three years as the assistant director of operations (2011-14). His duties included film breakdown, creating and maintaining playbooks, assisting with opponent scouting and day-to-day operations.

In this episode, I think you will enjoy the process Coach Spradlin has to opponent scouting.
