Marching to Madness, Episode 1,024 – Ali Farokhmanesh Moved into the Head Coaching Seat at Colorado State

Coach Ali Farokhmanesh will begin his first season at Colorado State after he worked as Coach Niko Medved’s assistant for the past seven seasons. We get into lots of excellent analytical and philosophical discussions and chat about players we will see with the Rams. Coach has been key in his development of players and orchestrating in-game situations, which helped post Colorado State win the Mountain West Tournament as well as post CSU in three of the last four NCAA Tournaments.

Topics of Discussion Include:

  • Winning 11 in a row and 19 of 22, going into the Round of 32 matchup with Maryland
  • The returns of Rashaan Mamba and Kyle Jorgensen
  • Upgrading players’ confidence and positivity in transferring to Colorado State
  • How the defensive approach has been an important part in the rise of the program

… and much more!
