Show Notes

In this edition of The Rant, Ralph the Ref talks to one of his closest friends Phil Francois who has a unique perspective on Basketball. We grew up playing in our high school days, to his time coaching AAU. He then figured officiating was a good route for some good money, but ultimately stopped when Corporate America came knocking. He currently is back to coaching his son, who has limitless potential. Here’s our Phil’s basketball journey, only on The Rant.
