Wichita State basketball associate head coach Kenton Paulino prepares us for the American Championship. We discuss how Dillon Battie stayed locked in when he wasn’t playing and how it paid off for the sophomore forward. He tells us why coach Paul Mills is hard on guard Dre Kindell during practices and why that helps Kindell use his energy in a positive way. We also discuss how the Shocker defense is structured to limit three-point shooting, WSU’s superb 11 minutes to close out a win over FAU and his favorite March Madness moment. Wichita State is 21-10 and earned the second seed in the American Conference Championship. The tournament begins Wednesday in Birmingham. The Shockers play at 4 p.m., Saturday on ESPN2 in a semifinal game.

Bruce Haertl played baseball for the Shockers, hosted a Shocker football coaches show, did play by play for the Wichita Wings, Wichita State basketball and baseball and much more. He is our guest after he recently retired from a lengthy career in sports broadcasting. We discuss the changing world of media and how a current student might approach careers. We dive into the similarities between Shocker baseball coach Gene Stephenson and Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder building programs from the bottom. Haertl, both at KWCH and as a radio host, chronicled the revival of WSU basketball under Mark Turgeon and Gregg Marshall and we get his thoughts on how those two coaches worked. We also discuss playing baseball in 1979 for Stephenson, favorite Shocker interviews and, of course, Bruce Springsteen.

Wichita State is recognizing three MVC champions during Saturday’s basketball game vs. Temple (5 p.m.). We chatted with two members from each team – Ed Southern and Steve Kalocinski from the 1976 Shockers, Ryan Martin and Kyle Wilson from 2006 and J.R. Simon and Evan Wessel from the 2016 team. Southern reveals that a chance meeting at a pickup game at old Kapaun High School started him on a path to WSU. Kalocinski talks about his relationship with assistant coach Ron Heller, who became a father figure to him. Wilson describes how he landed at Wichita State after transferring from Illinois, aided by a neighborhood conversation involving coach Mark Turgeon. Simon and Wessel discuss why that Shocker team played such great defense on its way to the MVC title and NCAA wins over Vanderbilt and Arizona.
