***This is the first 10 minutes of Bucky Ball, full episode available in link at the bottom of this description***

Bucky McMillan, 42, is the head men’s basketball coach at Texas A&M University. A Birmingham native and graduate of Birmingham-Southern College, McMillan arrived on the college scene in 2020 when Samford University hired him out of nearby Mountain Brook High School, which he had turned into a national powerhouse. Deploying an entertaining style and relentlessly marketing the program in the community, McMillan quickly turned Samford into one of the SoCon's most exciting programs before leaving for College Station this past #SearchSZN.

He joined the show from Texas A&M’s basketball practice facility and discussed the surprising benefits of jumping directly from high school to Division I, the meaning of Bucky Ball, the visionary thinking of the athletic director who first hired him at Samford, and his genuine belief that he can one day lead the Aggies to a Final Four.
