Episode #86: Chris Bunch

Brotherhood, Basketball & Building Men – A Coaching Conversation with Chris Bunch

Description:
In this episode of Significant Coaching, I sit down with one of my great friends in the world of college sports—Coach Chris Bunch, Head Men's Basketball Coach at Webster University. Chris and I started our college coaching journeys nearly 25 years ago in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, where our teams had epic battles and an instant respect was formed.

This conversation is personal. It’s real. And it’s packed with wisdom.

We talk about the evolution of coaching, the pressure and privilege of leading young men, and the legacy we hope to leave behind. Chris is one of the most loyal, generous, and thoughtful leaders I know—on and off the court. He also wrote the Coach’s Perspective for Chapter 8 of my book Significant Recruiting, and I’m incredibly thankful for his voice in this space.

Whether you're a coach, parent, or athlete, this episode will remind you why relationships matter more than records—and why coaching with heart still wins.
