***This is the first 10 minutes of Skinn It To Win It, full episode available in link at the bottom of this description***

Tony Skinn, 42, is the head men's basketball coach at George Mason. A decorated Mason alum who helped lead the program on its miraculous Final Four run in 2006, Skinn returned to his alma mater prior to the 2023-2024 season. In his second year at the helm, he led the team to within a possession of an A10 title and 27 wins. His name emerged in a number of high profile coaching searches, but he'll be back in Fairfax this season. Before taking the Mason job, Skinn had stints as an assistant at Maryland, Ohio State, Seton Hall, and Louisiana Tech. The D.C native joined the show from Virginia where he discussed his basketball upbringing in the DMV, how he gets guys to buy into his trademark defensive intensity, the backstory of Mason's 2006 run and the difficulty of coaching in the A10 during the portal era.
