🚨THERSday Night Podcast Emergency Episode 🚨

It's been more than a week since the conclusion of Jonas Hayes' fourth season as Georgia State men's basketball coach and there's been radio silence on his future after another losing campaign.

NOTE: This episode was recorded before the news came that GSU Women's Basketball Coach Gene Hill will not return next season. We will share our thoughts on our next episode and pass along our best wishes to Gene in the future.
