As part of my "Greatest Hits" series from my podcast, "The Owner's Box," I present this episode from early December in which Norwood High boys' basketball coach Kristen McDonnell visited the palatial confines of Fulton Pond Studios.

| Norwood coach Kristen McDonnell |
McDonnell, of course, was formerly the highly-successful coach of the Braintree High girls' basketball team, which she guided to four state championships. But after 10 seasons there, she took over the Norwood boys' team and became only the third female head coach of a boys' team in the Title IX era in this state. We talked about the unique challenge she was facing and a lot of other basketball issues, and it was a great conversation -- except for the fact that I made a rookie mistake when I set up the recording software and we sounded as if "The Owner's Box" was being recorded inside a box.
I've extended another invitation to Kristen to discuss how her first season as a boys' coach went, as well as a multitude of issues that will be emerging in the game in the next few years or so. Hopefully we'll be able to schedule sometime in March, and definitely, I'll have the sound settings correct.
I apologize for the audio problems with this one, but it's definitely worth a listen.
