Summary
Malin and Lucas Morrison are the mother-and-son ownership team behind Red Rose Thunder, a professional basketball organization based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. They purchased the franchise in 2020 and have built it into a respected program that has competed in professional and pro-am leagues while helping players pursue opportunities around the world. Malin, who grew up playing basketball in Sweden, serves as the team’s head coach and became one of the first women to lead a team in The Basketball Tournament. Lucas became the youngest general manager in TBT history at age 20, overcoming the challenges of autism and Crohn’s disease to build a career in the sport he loves. In 2026, the Morrisons will help lead Red Rose War Ready, a partnership between Red Rose Thunder and Auburn alumni team War Ready, as it competes for TBT’s $2 million winner-take-all championship. On this episode Mike talks with Malin & Lucas about the details of owning the Red Rose Thunder, a professional basketball team. They delve into their remarkable journey, from acquiring the team in 2020 to navigating the challenges of the TBT (The Basketball Tournament). Malin, as a pioneering female head coach, and Lucas, the youngest general manager in TBT history, share insights on overcoming personal adversities and achieving success in a male-dominated arena. The episode underscores the significance of teamwork, resilience, and the pivotal role of analytics in shaping their strategic approach to roster building and game preparation as they join forces with the Auburn alumni of War Ready for TBT 2026.
