Myron Piggie joins the show to discuss his life as a hustler turned legendary AAU coach that eventually landed him in federal prison as the first person in American sports history to be federally indicted and imprisoned for paying amateur players. He’s covered it all in his new book “The Hustle(r) That Changed The Game," and here Myron recalls his glory days coaching the Children’s Mercy Hospital 76ers featuring the Rush brothers, Earl Watson, Korleone Young and other Missouri hoops legends, his prison sentence and the possibility of a pardon in the future. The man dubbed “The Godfather of AAU Basketball” also talks about rubbing shoulders with sneaker giants Sonny Vaccaro and George Raveling, cursing out Michael Jordan and so much more from his notorious run amongst hoops royalty and much more. Later Matt and Jerry are joined by Annie Agar for a special Thanksgiving round of Twisted Tea Trivia and they also pick their choices for the best high school hoopers they ever saw.
