Season 4, Episode 2 of The Run TMC Podcast brings a wide-ranging, timely conversation about the seismic changes sweeping college athletics. Duffy and Dave welcome two insiders — Jamie Zaninovich (former WCC commissioner and Pac-12 executive) and Charles Hoevleer (investment executive, former collegiate athlete and friend of the podcast) — to unpack NIL, the transfer portal, conference realignment, and the legal and political fights shaping the future of the college game.

Jaime and Charles provide practical breakdowns of how economics are impacting conferences and recruiting: why conference realignment and far‑flung travel schedules emerged, how mid‑majors are responding, and whether Olympic (non‑revenue) sports are now at greater risk. We also cover coaches’ dilemmas—recruiting and re‑recruiting rosters every year, building culture in a transfer era—and the potential role of collective bargaining or other labor frameworks as a long‑term fix.

Please join us for this expansive discussion on an important and expensive topic.

This is Episode 1 of Season 4 of The RUN TMC Podcast—a one-of-a-kind podcasting event. In our 100th episode (we made it!) Dave and Duffy are joined at The Hub by Buck Chavez (Finally!) and Joe Euphrat. The conversation is, of course, about basketball and Marin County—but it’s also about family, resilience, sweat, and the joy of the game.

Buck and Joe trade pickup stories, share their family legacy and Old Man Ball memories, and open up about health and resilience—served with song, laughter, and plenty of pushups.

Recorded at The Hub and The Brazen Head, this episode digs into Lavin’s UCLA national-title year and his standout players (Earl Watson, Rico Hines, Baron Davis). We also cover Bob Myers’s early UCLA connection, Tyus Edney’s buzzer-beater, the culture and rituals of Lavin Camp, his St. John’s and San Diego tenures, and how broadcasting shaped his coaching. Expect behind-the-scenes locker-room stories, coaching philosophy, reflections on NIL and the transfer portal, and plenty of vivid, personal recollections.
