97.9 The Hill’s Deborah Stroman joins News Director Brighton McConnell for her weekly segment on Friday, Apr. 10. With UNC hiring former Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone to now lead its men’s basketball program, the athletics department is betting on a seasoned professional — but one who has not coached exclusively college players in a while. Stroman shares her thoughts on how the current college sports landscape may create challenges for Malone, who is known for being tough and straightforward with his players. She also shares her perspective of someone who joined the Carolina Family after not having played in Chapel Hill for college.

Dr. Deborah Stroman — who is a consulting professor for UNC and Virginia, sports businesswoman, former basketball player, and columnist — chats with 97.9 The Hill’s Brighton McConnell each week about headlines from the world of sports. Covering both local and national stories, Stroman specializes in connecting the on-field product to the impact of sports on business, culture and society. Listen to their past conversations on Chapelboro, Spotify and wherever you get your podcasts.
