This is a re-issue of my podcast with the late Chris Simmons, who has passed unexpectantly. just this week, January 2023. He was the best! Chris spent over ten years as The University of Kentucky Mens Basketball Head Athletic Trainer with Head Basketball Coach John Calipari. He will be dearly missed as a friend and ASAP associate and podcast guest. He truly loved Kentucky Basketball and he had the good fortune of working with "Coach Cal" for many a Wildcats victory.
