Episode 286 Brad Soderberg is an assistant coach for the Virginia Men's Basketball team and helped the Cavaliers to their first ever National Championship earlier this month in Minneapolis.  Soderberg arrived at Virginia after serving as head coach of Lindenwood University for six seasons from 2009-15. He also served as head coach at Saint Louis (2002-07), South Dakota State (1993-95) and Loras College (1988-93).  He coached at Wisconsin for six years from 1995-2001 where he started as an assistant coach under Tony Bennett's father, Dick. Soderberg helped the Badgers advance to four NCAA Tournaments, including the 2000 Final Four, and one NIT appearance. In 2000-01, Soderberg took over as the interim head coach early in the season, and along with assistant coach Tony Bennett, guided Wisconsin to an 18-11 overall record and NCAA Tournament appearance. Soderberg was the first Wisconsin coach since 1911 to win his first eight games, and the first to lead the Badgers to the NCAA Tournament in his first year. He also spent one year as an assistant coach at Saint Louis in 2001-02 under former Washington head coach Lorenzo Romar.  On this episode of the podcast, we talk to Brad about winning the National Championship, having his family with him to celebrate in Minneapolis, how faith played a role in shaping the culture within the team, what he's learned both on and off the court from Coach Tony Bennett.  For more, log on to http://SportsSpectrum.com
