Rejecting the Screen goes ISO with Doug Gottlieb, the host of The Doug Gottlieb Show on FOX Sports radio and a basketball analyst for FS1, Stadium, and Compass. Hosts Noah Coslov & Adam Stanco sit down with the two-time NCAA assists leader to talk about his mindset while broadcasting a game, how he's approached recent coaching opportunities, and what college coaches have been getting wrong. Plus, he tells some incredible stories, including how Spike Lee's brother was involved in Doug catching his first big break, why he was the most prepared guy in the room at the 2003 NBA Draft, what it was like the night before he first played against Allen Iverson, and why Doug might be partly responsible for the changes Tony Bennett utilized to win the 2019 National Championship.
