Eric Olen: Lobo in Paradise

Eric Olen, 44, is the head men’s basketball coach at the University of New Mexico. A native of Mobile, Alabama and a graduate of Spring Hill College, Olen landed the New Mexico job this past offseason after leading UC San Diego to a 30 win season and the Tritons' first ever D1 NCAA tourney appearance. Prior to leaving for Albuquerque, he'd spent the entirety of his collegiate coaching career at UCSD, beginning as a D2 assistant and ultimately leading the program's successful transition to D1. 

He joined the show from his new home near the UNM campus and discussed how the transition's going, what it's like to be at a place where basketball means so much, his excitement about coaching in the Pit, and whether his coaching style and temperament will change now that he'll be plying his trade in front of one of the best fan bases in college basketball.
