Phil Sport's TOTAL Hoops Podcast 3 for the week ending November 19th, 2023

The Phil Sport's 5 Minute Hoops is a weekly update on all things hoops given within 5 minutes (more or less). Phils is into time management and not a believer of drawing out a podcast. Phil provides insights that only he can provide based off his half century of player, coach, official and hoops author and writer.&nbsp; Topics covered include the NBA, WNBA, college, current events and commentary, officiating, GM moves, medical injuries, and even pickup basketball. Phil's book "Basketball Smartiepants - Hoops for everyone" was endorsed by former 76er coach Brett Brown. Basketball Smartiepants is available on Amazon in either hard copy or eBook. &nbsp;
