Episode 118 - Ashley Cieplicki and Phil Stern - Husband and Wife Coaching Duo

What a fun and unique episode this week. Ashley Cieplicki is the Head Women's basketball coach at Rutgers University-Newark and her husband Phil Stern is the AD and Head Women's basketball coach at The College of Mount Saint Vincent in Riverdale, New York. These two great coaches share how the role of a coach has changed even over the past decade in order to educate the entirety of each student-athlete they are responsible for. They also both have great championship games they tell us about: Cieplicki winning her first NJAC tournament championship and Stern winning the America East conference while coaching at UMBC, for the first NCAA tournament appearance in school history.
