Phoenix, AZ (PRWeb) March 11, 2007 -- Jim Haney, the Executive Director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches launches a new internet talk radio show which allows listeners to participate in active, open discussions on current topics in college basketball.

Haney's debut show, "March Madness - Breaking Down the Bracket" will break down the NCAA tournament brackets with special guest, Jim Larranaga, head coach at George Mason University (GMU).

Wooden, now 96 years young, is one of only three players elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as a player and coach.

He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as a player in 1961 and as a coach in 1973. Wooden was a member of the founding class inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame in 2006. The series will continue in each of the next two weeks.
