March Madness is an exciting time for college basketball fans. Many of the nation's teams are involved in conference tournaments.

We talk college basketball and the issues that coaches face today with the head women's basketball coach at Kansas State University, Deb Patterson. Deb led her team to a share of the Big 12 regular season title and was named 2007-08 Big 12 Coach of the Year. But in the last year it hasn’t been easy. Her faith has been challenged in several ways. We hear her encouraging account on Sports Spectrum. 

Many college fans feel that the SEC could produce the champion in both men's and women's basketball this season. We preview the upcoming SEC tournaments with an Associate Commissioner from the league, Mark Whitworth.

And we visit with a man who managed both Willie Mays and Hank Aaron in Major League Baseball. Clyde King has managed teams for both the San Francisco Giants and Atlanta Braves. He’s also been a key baseball advisor to New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner for over 20 years. We talk with Clyde and learn about his interesting life on today’s edition of Sports Spectrum.
