Lost in Translation Episode 36 - Jonathan Mandeldove

WCTV Podcasting

Guest Jonathan Mandledove talks about his long, winding and at times complicated relationship with the game of basketball and why it means everything to him today. The 7-footer was a member of a top 5 recruiting class at UConn, suiting up alongside six future NBA players. But his career didn’t work out the way he dreamed, as he left Storrs, Conn. after three seasons of playing without a degree or NBA contract. Over the next decade he’d fall back in love with the sport as a coach, return to campus to get his degree and join the college coaching ranks, where he currently serves as as an assistant coach for both the men’s and women’s teams at Franklin Pierce. This is truly an incredible conversation.
