- Lessons from our high school coach, Stu Vetter
- Kevin coaching Randolph in high school
- How Randolph was Steph Curry before Steph Curry
- The lost art of players understanding how to play without the ball
- Coach Vetter's coaching tree
- Randolph's experience recruiting and coaching his son, Brandon Childress
- The importance of keeping relationships simple and consistent
- How Kevin and Randolph's teams responded to the cancellation of basketball due to COVID-19
- How they are spending this time with family, their teams and time working on themselves
