Does hard coaching work now in pro sports?; Do the Ravens want Lamar Jackson back?

Joe Giglio & Paul Ihander share their thoughts on Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone calling his team 'soft,' and St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol calling out Tyler O'Neill for 'lack of effort,' and wonder if 'hard coaching' works today, even in professional sports.

Also, Wes Durham of the ACC Network & ESPN joined the show to talk about the NCAA Tournament, the way-too-early preseason top-25 polls, and early betting lines for who wins the 2024 National Championship in men's basketball.

Plus, The Baltimore Ravens are not allowing reporters to ask questions to GM Eric DeCosta about quarterback Lamar Jackson. Giglio speculates that the Ravens and head coach John Harbaugh actually want Jackson back. 

The Drive with Tim Donnelly airs weekdays 3-6pm on 99.9 The Fan in Raleigh, North Carolina. Clips are published every evening after the show.
