The Owner's Box, Ep. 30.

Adelphi women's coach Missy Traversi hopes to get in a basketball season this year. 

Confused by the numbering convention? I wouldn't blame you if you were. Maybe I should just number all of these podcasts by the miles it takes me to travel to finish them rather than in numerical order. That wouldn't be more confusing, would it?

In any event, Episode 30 of the audio-only Original Gangsta of my podcasts features a telephone interview earlier today with Adelphi University women's basketball coach Missy Traversi. We caught up with the Attleboro native in her office in Garden City, N.Y., as she continues the effort to build a team even though her team doesn't have an official schedule as yet.

COVID-19 interrupted Adelphi's 27-3 season back in March just as the Panthers were about begin play in the NCAA Division 2 tournament on their own home court, and amazingly enough, it still hangs over the nation 41 weeks later. Traversi talks about how she was able to recruit and organize herself for the upcoming campaign despite the obstacles presented by the coronavirus.

Got 53 minutes to spare? It's a terrific podcast for sitting in those long Starbucks lines. Enjoy.
