## Resource

On this week's episode of Arena, the weekly podcast from the Irish Examiner, Maurice Brosnan is joined by Ballincollig basketball coach Ciarán O'Sullivan. The lads discuss Charleville manager Dominic Foley’s recent comments in which he called on the Cork County Board to “wake up” and ensure they retain the county’s top coaching talent. But what actually makes a team well-coached? Is being well-drilled always a good thing? What separates good coaching from simply having good players? They also discuss Cian O’Neill’s move to the Cork hurlers and examine how the two-pointer has impacted Gaelic football so far. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
