After completing his first season in the NBL as a head coach, Jacob Jackomas joins the podcast to chat with Dan Boyce about the Hawk’s new look roster and plans for next season.
They discuss the emotions that you encounter, going through a 3-25 season and how he handled the ups and downs.
On top of all that Jacob also touches on some of the Hawk’s new faces including Haejung Lee, the Korean sharpshooter that will be the only Asian born player in the NBL this season.
