Todd Okeson: Former Nevada Wolf Pack Star, Pro & Assistant UVU Coach

Not In My House (A Basketball Podcast)

This one is SWEET… like Sweet 16 sweet! We get to catch up with current Utah Valley assistant coach and former Nevada Wolf Pack guard Todd Okeson! We learn all about his experiences in hoops from player to coach and there are of course plenty of Nevada stories in this one!

Todd Okeson grew up in a small farm town in Kansas of about 300 people. The ball eventually bounced to Reno, Nevada where he was a fan-favorite for our Nevada Wolf Pack. Okeson was a key piece to that amazing 2004 Sweet 16 team that starred Kirk Snyder, Garry Hill-Thomas, Kevinn Pinkney, Nick Fazekas and Sean Paul just to name a few. That team meant so much to the city of Reno and they truly put Nevada basketball on the map. We get to hear all about the Sweet 16 run and other great stories about Coach Trent Johnson, Kirk Snyder, Ben Gordon, beating Kansas, Keith Langford, Tim Hardaway, The ABA, playing overseas, Mark Madsen, coaching, Utah Valley and MUCH more.

BIG Thanks to Coach Okeson for taking time out of his busy schedule to share his story with us. We had a lot of fun with this one and it was truly an honor to learn from one of our favorites to ever wear the silver and blue. Go support Utah Valley University this year. They got a pretty dang good assistant coach over there.

Thank you Coach Todd Okeson!
