"I'm where I am at today because of two people...My Dad (Brad Heitland Hall of Fame Coach Algona, IA) and Ed Thomas...that ignited another level of passion for the game that I didn't even know that I had" Scott Heitland Dallas Center Grimes (DCG) Head Football Coach

This week on the Chad Harberts Show - Scott Heitland shared his coaching journey story at DCG. It's a cool inside look at the DCG Mustang Football program as they play their 2nd season as a 5A football program after making the playoffs in 2026.

I agree with Stan Van Gundy. We should copy FIBA and make offensive basket interference legal.
