Episode 137 - The Return of Ashley Cieplicki and Phil Stern - Husband and Wife Coaching Duo Talk About the Night Their Teams Played Each Other

The Greatest Games Podcast

Relationships are hard enough, but imagine preparing your team for a big game and, oh by the way, the other team is coached by your spouse! Well, that’s what happened recently in the Bronx as Rutgers University-Newark, coached by Ashley Cieplicki, visited The College of Mount Saint Vincent, coached by Phil Stern, in what we believe is the very first college basketball matchup between spouses. Hear all about how this game came about, and how special this game was for all who were involved. Heck, even our very own Kris DeBlasio was able to watch this historic matchup. We can't thank Ashley and Phil enough for sharing this story with us.

We would also like to shoutout SNARR (Special Needs Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation) as they were a part of the special night as well as the beneficiary of t-shirt sales and donations. Learn more about this amazing organization at https://snarrnortheast.org/ and adopt Alfie before Brian does!
